【解析】试题分析：本文是关于贝拉和野兽的童话故事，她在魔镜的帮助下终于回了家。

1.根据短文内容，故事发生时贝拉正坐在炉火旁大声朗读。结合句意结构和英文提示，可知需用过去进行时；Bella是单数第三人称，需用was+doing构成过去进行时，故填was sitting。

2.本句和上一句是转折关系，分句需用将来时态，动词用原形；根据句意结构和英文提示，可知填will not harm。

3.根据短文时态（一般过去时），结合句意结构和英文提示，可知填thought。

4.tell jokes讲笑话；介词by后接代词或动名词形式；根据句意结构和英文提示，可知填telling。

5.a mirror一面镜子，是动词give的受动者，需用被动语态；a mirror是单数第三人称，需用was+过去分词形式构成被动式。根据句意结构和英文提示，可知填was given。

6.本句是if引导的条件状语从句，从句用一般将来时，主句需用一般将来时。根据句意结构和英文提示，可知填use。
