【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是在我們的生活中，能夠妨礙我們自身發(fā)展的人其實(shí)是我們自己。你的生活不會(huì)因?yàn)槟愕睦习遄兞硕淖�，不�?huì)因?yàn)槟愕呐笥炎兞硕淖�，也不�?huì)因?yàn)槟愕墓咀兞硕淖�。只有�?dāng)你自己改變的時(shí)候，你的生活才會(huì)改變。

1.一天，一個(gè)大公司的職員從午飯的休息時(shí)間回來(lái)工作時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)前門(mén)上有一個(gè)告示。break 在這里是一個(gè)名詞，意思是休息。lunch break 指的是午飯的休息時(shí)間。

2.告示上寫(xiě)著：昨天在這個(gè)公司里一直阻礙你們成長(zhǎng)的人去世了。pass away 是一個(gè)固定的短語(yǔ)，意思是去世。根據(jù)下文invite you to join the funeral邀請(qǐng)參加葬禮，可知這里是去世了。

3.我們邀請(qǐng)你參加在體育館里準(zhǔn)備的葬禮。prepare 準(zhǔn)備，是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞。這里要用它的過(guò)去分詞的形式，has been prepared 是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，that 引導(dǎo)的是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾the funeral。

4.剛開(kāi)始時(shí)，聽(tīng)說(shuō)他們的一個(gè)同事去世了，大家都很傷心，但是過(guò)了一會(huì)，他們開(kāi)始好奇，這個(gè)人可能是誰(shuí)。curious 是一個(gè)形容詞，意思是好奇的。因?yàn)椴恢肋@個(gè)人是誰(shuí)，所以大家都很好奇。

5.當(dāng)職員們來(lái)到體育館參加葬禮的時(shí)候，這個(gè)好奇心更厲害了。as 當(dāng)……時(shí)候，隨著，引導(dǎo)一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。隨著參加葬禮這一天的到來(lái)，人們的好奇心越來(lái)越重。

6.職員們一個(gè)一個(gè)地走近棺材。close 近的，在這里是一個(gè)副詞，get close to 接近……。根據(jù)句意也可以用closer ，即比較級(jí)的形式。

7.他們站在棺材旁邊，非常的震驚，都變得沉默了，就好像有個(gè)人觸摸到了他們的靈魂深處。in silence 是一個(gè)固定短語(yǔ)，沉默地。

8.棺材里有一個(gè)鏡子，往里面看的人都能在鏡子里看到自己。himself 他自己，是一個(gè)反身代詞，在這里代指往鏡子里看的人。

9.你自己就是那個(gè)可以影響你的快樂(lè)、你的意識(shí)和你的成功的人。affect 是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，意思是影響。這里作者告訴我們，影響自己發(fā)展的人其實(shí)就是我們自己。

10.當(dāng)你自己改變的時(shí)候，當(dāng)你自己超越了你的信念，當(dāng)你意識(shí)到你就是那個(gè)為自己的生活負(fù)責(zé)的人的時(shí)候，你的生活才會(huì)改變。beyond 超越，是一個(gè)介詞。
