本文主要介绍了三种发现个人隐藏天赋的方法。
1. B 根据前句“What are you good at?”可知，这是作者所提出的一个问题，故此处指回答这个问题。
2. C 根据下文“Think about your ...”“Ask others.”“Try new things.”理解可知，此处表示以下3种方法可能帮助你发现个人隐藏的天赋。
3. C 根据后文中的“Your past hobbies and successes can ... talents.”理解可知，此处是指考虑一下过去所做过的一些事情，从它们之中去寻找线索，名词past是“过去”的意思。
4. A 句意：它可以是大事情也可以是小事情。根据空格后形容词small可知，此处应该填它的反义词big。
5. D 句意：它也许是一个艺术项目或者你给朋友的一些好的建议。根据句意理解可知，此处用动词短语give sth. to sb.，意思为“给某人某物”。
6. C 你周围的人可能比你更了解你自己。动词短语know sb. well，意思为“很了解某人”，连词than常跟比较级连用，所以此处要用副词well的比较级better。
7. D 句意：你可能会对他们的答案感到惊讶。根据前句“Ask your friends, family, or teachers what they think you are good at.”理解可知，可以问朋友、家人或老师，他们认为你擅长什么，前后人称需要一致，故选their。
