【分析】
本题为英语语篇填空题，需结合语境、语法规则及词汇变形完成。解题时先通读全文把握主旨（老乌龟向孩子们讲述人生道理），再针对每个空格，根据其在句中的成分、前后搭配、时态等要求，确定单词的正确形式。
【解析】
1. 由句中“than”可知，此处需用形容词smart的比较级，故填smarter。
2. 此处修饰动词“said”，需用副词，loud的副词形式为loudly，故填loudly。
3. 全文讲述过去发生的事，时态为一般过去时，point的过去式为pointed，故填pointed。
4. 此处表示“什么惊喜”，surprise为可数名词，此处用复数形式表泛指，故填surprises。
5. 主语it为第三人称单数，且此处陈述客观道理，用一般现在时，动词用三单形式brings，故填brings。
6. 不定式符号to后接动词原形，故填reach。
7. 全文为过去时态，think的过去式为thought，故填thought。
8. 此处为表语从句，结合语境“那就是你需要关心自己和他人的时候”，需用关系副词when，故填when。
9. 固定搭配as long as（只要），故填as。
10. 介词from后接代词宾格，he的宾格为him，故填him。

1. smarter 2. loudly 3. pointed 4. surprises 5. brings 6. reach 7. thought 8. when 9. as 10. him
