【解析】

试题分析：

1.由后文并列的形容词fat和ugly可知空格中缺少的是负面的形容词，故选bad.

2.由前文The small girls were seen as smarter，以及前面的popular，可知空格中是积极的名词，又因为关注和帮助中获得关注更加符合语境，故选attention.

3.由文中句意可知是因为自己不像别人那样讨厌自己，介词for表原因，故选for.

4.由文中句意可知直到某一天，故选until.

5.由后文I bought a beautiful dress for myself，可知作者试着作对自己好的事情，故选myself.

6.由固定搭配be busying doing something，以及I always thought following others，可知作者之前总是在取悦别人，故选pleasing.

7.根据句意文中想表达总是取悦别人，而忘记了自己的需求是不快乐的，其他三个名词的词意均不符合题意，故选needs.

8.由文中句意可知每个小小的对自己好的行为能够让自己更爱自己，空格缺少的是一个积极的动词，其他三个均不符合题意，故选love.

9.由文中的happier可知通过这样的行为能让自己更开心，所以可推断作者将会更多去做这样的行为，故选more.

10.由文中句意可知作者慢慢成长为一个很爱自己的人，A是成长为，B为把…分成，C为观察或浏览，D为可制成，故选grew into.

11.由前文可知作者对自己爱是不断的增强，故选strong.

12.由文中句意可知作者从一个不开心的学校老师变成了一个受欢迎的作家，而固定搭配change…into…由什么变成什么，故选important.

13.由文中句意可知作者将自己视作为美丽的女人，介词as是作为的意思符合题意，故选as.

14.由第一段中I believed that I looked very fat and ugly，可知文中想表达的内容，故选losing weight.
