【分析】
先通读全文把握主旨（每个人独一无二），再结合每个空的语境、语法结构，从方框内选词并调整形式（每词限用一次）。解题需关注固定搭配、比较级、最高级、主谓一致、代词用法等，同时排除多余词汇（本题多余词为grade、though）。
【解析】
1. 固定搭配be different from，意为“与……不同”，故填different；
2. 主语it为第三人称单数，谓语动词用三单形式makes，make sth do sth表“使某物……”，故填makes；
3. 由前文“有些人比你高”及转折连词but，需用short的比较级shorter，故填shorter；
4. 此处指代“他/她的头发”，用名词性物主代词hers（相当于her hair），故填hers；
5. 修饰可数名词复数friends，用some表“一些”，故填some；
6. 固定搭配be best at，意为“最擅长”，用good的最高级best，故填best；
7. there be句型遵循就近原则，主语people为复数，故be动词用are；
8. 固定搭配be talented in，意为“在……方面有天赋”，故填talented；
9. want to后接动词原形，wear clothes表“穿衣服”，故填wear；
10. 此处为祈使句，用动词原形say，故填say。
【答案】
1. different
2. makes
3. shorter
4. hers
5. some
6. best
7. are
8. talented
9. wear
10. say
