【解析】

短文告诉我们关于人生的哲理：发现别人的过错很容易，发现自己的过错很难，作者以Tommy为例想要告诉我们少关注别人的缺点，多关注自己的缺点和不足。

1.句意：我们每个人出生时脖子上都挂着两个袋子。be born with生来就有，生就。答案为born。

2.句意：我们胸前的一个小袋子里装满了别人的缺点。be filled with充满，装满。根据首字母提示可知，答案为filled。

3.句意：所以很容易发现别人的缺点。根据后面的句子but it's hard for us to see our faults behind us. 但我们很难看到自己的缺点。通过转折连词but判断，发现别人的缺点很容易，答案为easy。

4.句意：他总能很快地发现别人的缺点。根据前面的句子Tommy，who always opened the front bag to check what was in it.可知，Tommy总是喜欢看到别人的错误，谓语动词saw要由副词来修饰，根据首字母提示可知，答案为quickly。

5.句意：你很容易生气。get angry生气，结合后面的句子It is hard to be friends with you.可知，你很容易生气，很难和你成为朋友。故答案为angry。

6.句意：杰克不问就拿走了我的东西。根据前面的句子He told his mother about Jack's dishonesty. 他把杰克不诚实的事告诉了他妈妈。由此判断下文列举的都是杰克的一些缺点，拿别人的东西时不告诉别人，故答案为without。

7.句意：汤米自己不喜欢和任何人分享他的东西。Tommy后跟反身代词用作同位语，指Tommy本人，故答案为himself。

8.句意：当约翰尼太累了，不能和他一起玩时。too…to…意为“太……而不能……”，故答案为too。

9.句意：他认为哈利为他富有的父母感到骄傲。此句是省略that的宾语从句，根据从句的时态，判断主句的时态为一般过去时，根据首字母提示以及句意可知，答案为thought。

10.句意：他就会发现自己的急躁情绪、不诚实、坏习惯和虚荣心。在形容词性物主代词所修饰的名词前面加上own，表示某人自己的，故答案为own。
