【分析】
解题思路：首先通读全文，理解文章讲述的是Sally因脸上的胎记自卑，新同学Maddie的善意改变了她的故事。再针对每个空格，结合语境、语法规则（词性、时态、固定搭配等），从给定词汇中选择合适的词，并根据需要调整形式，确保填入后语句通顺、符合逻辑。
【解析】
1. 主语是everyone，此处表示“关于他们自己”，用反身代词themselves；
2. 修饰动词looking，需用副词，secret的副词形式是secretly；
3. 留长发的目的是遮挡胎记，用不定式作目的状语，故填to hide；
4. instead of后接动名词，look away的动名词形式是looking；
5. 此处修饰整个句子，需用副词，sudden的副词形式是Suddenly；
6. 固定搭配for the first time（第一次），故填序数词first；
7. 指代前面提到的birthmark的形状，用形容词性物主代词Its；
8. 文章整体时态为一般过去时，paint的过去式是painted；
9. 根据语境“Sally还没告诉Maddie一切”，用现在完成时的否定形式hasn't told；
10. make sth +形容词，interest的形容词形式interesting作宾语补足语，故填interesting。

【分析】
做语法填空需结合语境、词性变化、固定搭配、时态等知识点逐一分析：1. 根据后文“the word itself says‘I'm possible’”，此处表“不可能的”，用possible的反义词；2. and连接并列名词，需保持数的一致；3. 情态动词后接动词原形，需转换词性；4. 年份前用特定介词；5. one of后接可数名词复数；6. 前后句为转折关系，选对应连词；7. 全文为过去时态，动词用过去式；8. 此处用现在分词作结果状语；9. 考查固定搭配“the first to do sth”；10. 考查固定短语“stick to”。
【解析】
1. 考查形容词反义词：结合语境“Nothing is ______”及后文提示，此处表“不可能的”，故填impossible；
2. 考查名词复数：and连接并列成分，前面doubts为复数，故fear用复数fears；
3. 考查动词形式：情态动词can后需接动词原形，success是名词，转换为动词succeed；
4. 考查介词：年份前用介词in；
5. 考查名词复数：one of后接可数名词复数，故填runners；
6. 考查连词：前后句为转折关系，用But；
7. 考查一般过去时：全文叙述过去的事，doubt用过去式doubted；
8. 考查非谓语动词：现在分词作结果状语，故填making；
9. 考查固定搭配：“the first to do sth”是固定结构，故填to reach；
10. 考查固定短语：“stick to”意为“坚持”，是固定搭配，故填to。
