【解析】短文大意：Brian不擅长在众人面前发言。一天，他被邀请去一个教堂做演讲，他的妹妹Ann安慰他要放松自己，不要紧张。虽然在演讲当天，也发生点意外，但他还是坚持完成了自己的演讲，他说自己从来没有像那样成功过。现在他再也不害羞了。
【1】句意：一天，他被邀请去一个教堂做演讲。句子主语he为谓语动词的逻辑主语，表被动关系。根据one day可知句子时态为一般过去时，所以此处要用一般过去时的被动语态。故答案为was invited。
【2】句意：他的小妹妹Ann知道他很紧张，所以就试图让他保持冷静。两者进行比较时用形容词的比较级，younger sister 妹妹。
【3】句意：别担心，一切将会很好的。这里演讲来没有发生，因此要用一般将来时。答案为will be／is going to be 。
【4】句意：幸运的是他受伤不严重并且及时赶到了教堂。根据上下文可知，这里用一般过去时态来陈述过去发生过的事情。故答案为arrived。
【5】句意：当他站起来的时候，他的大衣缠在了椅子上。根据句中的by the time从句可判断，过去的过去用过去完成时态，答案为had become。
【6】句意：许多人认为他会跑出去，但是他继续他的演讲。根据上文中的句子“Many people thought he would run”判断，此处用过去时态讲述当时发生的事情，答案为went。
【7】句意：突然，人们看到不寻常的东西从他的鼻子里流出来。see sth./sb.doing sth.“看见某物/某人正在做某事”的意思， running是现在分词表示正在进行的动作。故答案为running。
【8】句意：当他看到血的时候，他停止了演讲。stop doing sth. 意思是“停止正在做的事”，符合当时的情形，故答案为speaking。
【9】句意：但是他仍然试图完成他的演讲。try to do sth. 尽力做某事，故答案为to finish。
【10】句意：他说自己从来没有像那样成功过。由于动词succeed发生在said以前，表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。答案为had never succeeded。
