一、1. deaf 2. borrows 3. effort

【解析】
1. 根据后半句“so his hearing is very poor”可知男孩听力不佳，结合首字母d，应填deaf（聋的）。
2. 由语境“Lily often goes to the library”及“books to read”，结合首字母b，borrow表示“借”，主语Lily是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用borrows。
3. 句意为“没有人不努力就能成功”，without后接名词，结合首字母e，填effort（努力）。
4. make progress是固定短语，意为“取得进步”，符合语境，结合首字母p，填progress。
5. 句意为“努力学习永不放弃，最终会实现梦想”，结合首字母r，will后接动词原形，realize/realise（实现）符合要求。

1. deaf 2. borrows 3. effort

二、阅读理解。
My name is Wei Hua and I'm from China. I never forget my experience of learning English. About ten years ago, I went to a middle school in New York because my family moved there. English was a big headache for me at that time.
I was very quiet and not very smart. I couldn't speak English well. My classmates laughed at me and did not want to learn in the same group with me. I often borrowed my classmates' notes in class because I couldn't understand the lessons.
I read many books to improve my English, but it did not work well. I felt so frustrated. My classmates said that I had no ability to learn English.
Those words hurt me a lot, and then I made a big decision. I decided to study English out of school. I found a part - time job and worked as a salesgirl in a store. While working, I met lots of different people and had to talk with them in English. Day after day, I finally spoke English well.
As the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” It is true that learning by doing is the best way.
