【解析】

这是许多青少年必须解决的问题。它就是是缺乏信心。缺乏自信是一件可怕的事情。它剥夺了你生活中的变化。它浪费你的时间。它会导致伤害你的感觉。

1.句意：缺乏自信是一件可怕的事情。

fantastic极好的；terrible可怕的；normal正常的；national国家的。根据后文“It robs you of changes in life. It wastes your time. It causes feeling that hurt you.”可推测缺乏自信是一件可怕的（terrible）事情。故选B。

2.句意：如果你是一个对自己没有自信的人。

confidence自信；problem问题；experience经验；reason原因。本文谈的就是缺乏自信方面的问题。上文刚说过缺乏自信的危害。可推测这里说的就是自信的问题。故选A。

3.句意：抓住这个机会改变你看待自己和这个世界的方式。

build建立；change改变；lead领导；show展示。因为第一段谈到了缺乏自信的危害性，所以可推测这里是告诉人们要改变（change）看待自己和这个世界的方式。故选B。

4.句意：你有优点，也有弱点。

advantages优点；failures失败；weaknesses缺点、弱点；mistakes错误。根据后句“You have talents and you have faults.”，句中的talents和faults是一对反义词。可推测出strengths和空格上的词也是构成反义关系。结合选项与strengths构成反义关系的词是weaknesses。故选C。

5.句意：他有如此多天生的运动天赋，而她又如此聪明。

many很多，修饰可数名词复数；much很多，修饰不可数名词；little一点、很少，修饰不可数名词；few很少、几个，修饰可数名词。根据本句“and she’s so smart”，这里说的是因为缺乏自信老是看到别人的好，and前面说的应该是很多天生的运动天赋；根据本句中的的talent是不可数名词，much修饰不可数名词，故选B。

6.句意：但是你和他们之间只有一个真正的区别。

between在……之间，一般在两者之间，与and连用，构成“between…and…”；from从；among在……之中；beside在……旁边。根据句中的and，可联想到“between…and…”，故选A。

7.句意：他们已经发现、接受并开始展示他们的才能，而你却没有。

and和、并且；because因为；while然而；so因此。根据上句说的，只有一点真正的不同。这里是通过比较来说明不同的地方，句子“They have found and accepted and started showing their talents”和“you have not”是转折关系。说的是别人都在展示他们的才能，然而，你没有。故选C。

8.句意：接受那些出差错的事情。

go wrong出差错；go well进展顺利；go apart分开；go bad变质。根据后句“They go wrong for you but they also go wrong for other people too.”，可知这里是接受那些出差错的事情。故选A。

9.句意：它会发生在每个人的身上。

nobody没人；everyone每个人；someone某人，有人；none没有人。根据上句“They go wrong for you but they also go wrong for other people too.”，可知不是一个人会出差错，大家（everyone）都会出现差错。故选B。

10.句意：不自信的人就是走不出去。

Comfortable舒服的；Unlucky不幸的；Natural自然的；Unconfident不自信的。前句谈到有自信的人是如何做的，这里说的应该是没有自信的（unconfident）人如何做。故选D。
