【分析】
拿到这道综合填空题，第一步先通读全文梳理故事主线：本文讲述了苏东坡年少时骄傲自满，后来被一位老人点醒，改掉自大的毛病变得谦逊勤学，最终在多领域取得极高成就的故事。接下来逐个空格分析：
1. 带提示词的空格，先判断空格所需的词性、人称、时态等属性，再对提示词做对应正确变形；
2. 无提示词的空格，结合语境判断需要填写的虚词类型，再结合固定搭配、语法规则推导答案。
比如看到介词for后要接指代主语自身的代词就想到反身代词，看到时间标志so far立刻对应现在完成时的用法，一步步推导就能得出所有正确答案。
【解析】
1. 此处表达“他为自己写了一副对联”，介词for后指代主语he自身，需要用反身代词，him的反身代词是himself，故填himself。
2. 此处泛指第一次提到的“一位老人”，old发音以元音音素开头，要用不定冠词，句首首字母大写，故填An。
3. 句中出现现在完成时的典型时间标志词So far，结构为have/has+动词过去分词，主语是I，助动词用have，read的过去分词不变，故填have read。
4. 形容词性物主代词their后面需要接名词，动词mean对应的名词是meaning，此处指代多个难词的含义，要用复数形式，故填meanings。
5. 此处是固定搭配full of confidence，意为“充满信心”，缺少介词of，故填of。
6. 此处作系动词became的表语，修饰人Su Shi，表达“感到惊讶的”，要用-ed结尾的形容词surprised，故填surprised。
7. 本句是定语从句，先行词是指物的many more things，关系代词在从句中作learn的宾语，可以用that或者which，故填that/which。
8. 此处修饰动词wanted，需要用副词作状语，形容词simple的副词形式是simply，故填simply。
9. 句中and连接两个并列的谓语动词，前面的smiled是一般过去时，动词leave也要用过去式，故填left。
10. 句中出现比较级标志词than，且even常用来修饰比较级，副词hard的比较级是harder，故填harder。
【答案】
1. himself
2. An
3. have read
4. meanings
5. of
6. surprised
7. that/which
8. simply
9. left
10. harder

Dear Tom,
I hope this email finds you well. I'm glad to hear you're crazy about Chinese traditional culture, especially calligraphy.

I love it deeply not only because of its perfect artistic value, but also because it conveys the peace and elegance of traditional Chinese culture. Every time I appreciate it, I feel calm and inspired. I hope you can feel its beauty too.
