【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候患抑郁症后得到了校长的关爱而走出阴影的故事。

1.a child是可数名词，且第一次在文章中出现，故用不定冠词修饰，表示“一个好孩子”。good是辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。

2.Unfortunately不幸的是，情况并非如此。根据逗号的提示可知，此处应用所给词的副词形式，修饰整个句子，作状语。再根据句意可知，应用Unfortunately。故填Unfortunately。

3.confidence my是形容词性物主代词，修饰名词，作定语，故填confidence。

4.shutting shut和句子主语I构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填shutting。

5.at/by be surprised at/by为固定搭配，意为“对……感到惊讶”。故填at/by。

6.was lectured句意：在我爸爸特别严厉的说教之后，我沮丧地站在学校门口，此处应用一般过去时态的被动语态。故答案为was lectured。

7.depressed由句子的主语I和该空前的逗号可知，应用形容词depressed在句子中作状语。故填depressed。

8.had noticed notice的动作发生在said之前，表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。故填had noticed。

9.hers介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，且由空格前的“my hands”可知，此处用名词性物主代词hers，表示她的手。故填hers。

10.Who who引导非限定性定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词the headmaster。故填who。
