【解析】

试题分析：文章主要讲解了如何使我们的话更有礼貌。

【1】examines 考查动词。It做主语，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式，故填examines。

【2】to help考查动词不定式。Be used to do sth。表示“被用来做某事”，故填to help。

【3】better考查比较级。根据后面rather than可知此处需用good的比较级形式better，说明说Would you do this?” 要比“Do this!”好得多，故选better。

【4】that考查关系代词。That在此处引导主语从句，故填that。

【5】Saying考查现在分词。现在分词位于句首表示主动关系，故填Saying。

【6】with考查介词。Disagree with sth.表示“不同意某事”，固定搭配。故填with。

【7】mistaken考查形容词。形容词mistaken用来修饰主语you，但是我觉得你错了，故填mistaken。

【8】the考查冠词。此处用冠词the表示特指，特指一个国家的习俗，故填the。

【9】cultures考查名词。此处culture应该用复数表示“其他国家的文化”，故填cultures。

【10】will be考查将来时。此处if引导条件句，主句需要用一般将来时，表示“他们将更不可能惹怒别人”，故填will be。
