2. managed 解析:根据"After checking it, he m ... to solve the problem in just a few minutes"可知,修理工检查后"设法"解决了问题,manage to do为固定搭配,全文为过去时,故填managed。
3. instruments 解析:根据"Dan noticed some photos of me with different musical i ..."以及后文提到guitar,可知是不同的"乐器",首字母i,故填instruments。
4. attention 解析:根据"Then his a ... turned to an old guitar resting in the corner"可知,他的"注意力"转向角落里的旧吉他,首字母a,故填attention。
5. broken 解析:根据"I mentioned that it was b ... and I was thinking of throwing it away"可知,吉他"坏了"所以想扔掉,首字母b,故填broken。

【分析】
解这类首字母填空题目，首先要先通读完整短文，理清文章的叙事主线：本文讲述了作者给上门修电脑的修理工赠送闲置旧吉他，最后双方都收获快乐的暖心故事，同时确定全文整体叙事时态为一般过去时，部分从句用到过去完成时。第二步逐个分析空格：先定位空格所在的前后句语义，结合给出的首字母联想对应符合语境的词汇，同时要验证词汇的词性、形式（时态、单复数、非谓语等）是否符合语法规则，填完所有空后要代入全文通读，检查逻辑是否通顺、语法是否正确，避免出现语义矛盾或者形式错误的问题。比如第一空前文提到电脑突然关机，顺着逻辑自然是无法重新启动，匹配首字母s就能想到start；第二空修理工几分钟就解决了电脑问题，对应固定搭配manage to do sth表示成功设法做成某事，结合过去时态变形为managed，以此类推逐个推导即可。
【解析】
1. 前文提到电脑工作数小时后突然关机，可推知此处指电脑无法重新启动，情态动词wouldn't后接动词原形，结合首字母s，故填start。
2. 此处表达修理工检查后仅用几分钟就成功解决了问题，固定搭配manage to do sth意为“设法成功做成某事”，全文叙事为一般过去时，manage的过去式为managed，结合首字母m，故填managed。
3. 后文提到了吉他，且句中出现different修饰，可推知照片里作者和不同的乐器同框，musical instruments表示乐器，different后接可数名词复数，结合首字母i，故填instruments。
4. 此处表达他的注意力转移到了角落放着的旧吉他上，turn one's attention to是常用搭配，意为“某人的注意力转向……”，结合首字母a，故填attention。
5. 后文提到作者打算把这把吉他扔掉，可推知吉他是坏了的，be动词后接形容词作表语，broken表示“破损的、出故障的”，结合首字母b，故填broken。
6. 此处表达他的儿子自从加入学校乐队之后就培养出了对音乐的热爱，固定搭配develop a love for sth意为“培养对某事物的热爱”，空前有had，是过去完成时结构，需用develop的过去分词developed，结合首字母d，故填developed。
7. 后文提到他一直想要弹吉他，可推知乐队的领队说他有音乐天赋，talent表示“天赋”，结合首字母t，故填talent。
8. 此处表达我告诉他可以免费拿走这把吉他，尽管它需要修理，前后是让步逻辑，though意为“尽管、虽然”引导让步状语从句，结合首字母t，故填though。
9. 前文提到作者主动要支付修理电脑的费用，后文说修电脑是他感谢作者送吉他的方式，可推知他拒绝收钱，固定搭配refuse to do sth意为“拒绝做某事”，叙事为一般过去时，refuse的过去式为refused，结合首字母r，故填refused。
10. 后文点明当我们付出给予的时候，既能给别人带去快乐自己也能收获满足，可推知此处表达人生最大的快乐之一来自给予，介词from后接动名词形式，give的动名词为giving，结合首字母g，故填giving。
