【解析】

这篇短文讲述了作者在处于生活的低谷，对什么都失去期待而不知所措时，父亲给她推荐了一本书。她在看完这本书后，又再次感觉到了生活的美好，再次回到了幸福之中。

【1】句意：我的人际关系不好，我不喜欢我的课程，我觉得我没有什么可期待的。

take care of照顾；come up with提出，想起；look down on俯瞰，轻视；look forward to期待，盼望。根据“My relationships weren’t good, I wasn’t enjoying my classes”可知，作者处于人生的低谷，事事都不顺心，因此可推知作者感觉没有什么可期待的。故选D。

【2】句意：别人所说的没有什么是对我有帮助的。

helpful有帮助的；colourful五彩缤纷的；peaceful和平的；powerful有力量的。根据前文可知，作者对生活充满了失望，因此别人说的话对她是没有帮助的。故选A。

【3】句意：我只想再快乐起来，但我不知道谁或什么会提供给我这个机会。

reply回应；offer提供；answer回答；prevent阻止。根据前文“All I wanted was to be happy again”可知，作者不知道有什么能提供给她再次快乐的机会。故此处处应为offer提供。故选B。

【4】句意：我别无选择只能告诉我爸爸。

problem问题；choice选择；need需要；doubt怀疑。根据“but I didn’t know who or what would offer that”及语境可知，作者每晚都失眠，却又不知道该向何人述说，她没有别的选择只能告诉爸爸，故此处应为choice选择。故选B。

【5】句意：他给我推荐了一本叫《秘密》的书。

borrowed借；collected收集；returned归还；recommended推荐。根据“I bought the e-book online at once”可知，作者的父亲给作者推荐了一本书。故选D。

【6】句意：我通常是个很固执的人，但读完这本书后对我情绪的影响是显而易见的。

usually通常；mainly主要地；finally终于；probably或许。根据后文“but the influence on my mood after finishing the book was ____”可知，作者在读完书后有了一些改变，句中but表转折，因此作者通常是个很固执的人。故选A。

【7】句意：我通常是个很固执的人，但读完这本书后对我情绪的影响是显而易见的。

real真实的；common普通的；clear明显的；serious严重的。根据后文“Suddenly, I felt like life was beautiful again”可知，作者读完这本书后对自己情绪的影响是很明显的。故选C。

【8】句意：我以前从未感受到如此深刻而迅速的变化。

breath呼吸；notice注意；surprise惊喜；change改变。根据前文内容可知，作者之前对生活的失望到现在重新感受到生活的美丽，因此此处指的是“改变”。故选D。

【9】句意：这本书有很多成功的故事，讲述了人们是如何吸引金钱、灵魂伴侣和老朋友回到他们的生活中的。

draw吸引；control控制；imagine想象；mention提及。根据前后文语境可知，这本书主要讲述了人们是如何把金钱、灵魂伴侣及老朋友吸引回他们的生活中去的。故选A。

【10】句意：渐渐地，我意识到只有当我相信这些人的成功故事时，这本书才起作用。

until直到；when当……时；unless除非；before在……之前。根据语境可知，此处应为when引导的时间状语从句，当我相信这些人的成功事例时，这本书就会起作用。故选B。
