Last year, I got to know a group of autistic (患自闭症的) children. We called (4) (they) “the Snails”. It was hard to communicate with them at first, because they wouldn't like to. After a two-week (5) (train), I became more skilled and got (6) (close) to them day by day. I also received much (7) (please) when playing with them. What's more, I found that every one of “the Snails” had his or her own talent. And their colourful pictures on the wall caught my attention, (8) it was difficult to tell what they were trying to express.
Deeply touched by their pictures, I decided to hold a charity sale. We walked on the busy street, selling their creative pictures. 60 pictures were sold that day. People thought their pictures were full (9) imagination.
Back to the question about (10) to become a better person, I think I'm lucky enough to get my own answer.

(1) has been
(2) studying
(3) makes
(4) them
(5) training
(6) closer

5. 考查名词，"two-week"是形容词，后接名词，"train"的名词形式是training，故填training。
6. 考查形容词比较级，根据"day by day"可知是逐渐变得更亲近，用比较级形式closer，故填closer。
7. 考查名词，"much"后接不可数名词，"please"的名词形式是pleasure，故填pleasure。
8. 考查连词，前后句为转折关系，意为"尽管很难辨别他们想表达什么，但墙上色彩丰富的画吸引了我"，故填though/although。
9. 考查固定搭配，"be full of"是固定短语，意为"充满"，故填of。
