【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)展的人其實是我們自己。你的生活不會因為你的老板變了而改變，不會因為你的朋友變了而改變，也不會因為你的公司變了而改變。只有當(dāng)你自己改變的時候，你的生活才會改變。

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

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

3.我們邀請你參加在體育館里準(zhǔn)備的葬禮。prepare 準(zhǔn)備，是一個動詞。這里要用它的過去分詞的形式，has been prepared 是現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)，that 引導(dǎo)的是定語從句，修飾the funeral。

4.剛開始時，聽說他們的一個同事去世了，大家都很傷心，但是過了一會，他們開始好奇，這個人可能是誰。curious 是一個形容詞，意思是好奇的。因為不知道這個人是誰，所以大家都很好奇。

5.當(dāng)職員們來到體育館參加葬禮的時候，這個好奇心更厲害了。as 當(dāng)……時候，隨著，引導(dǎo)一個時間狀語從句。隨著參加葬禮這一天的到來，人們的好奇心越來越重。

6.職員們一個一個地走近棺材。close 近的，在這里是一個副詞，get close to 接近……。根據(jù)句意也可以用closer ，即比較級的形式。

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

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

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

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

考點：閱讀填空。
