本文讲述了康纳正等着学校的大门打开时，突然哭了起来。康纳哭的时候，他的同学克里斯蒂安碰巧看了他一眼。克里斯蒂安可能会像大多数孩子一样忽视他，但他没有。这个举动让康纳的一天变得更好。这个画面被放在网上，大家都被感动了。

【1】句意：康纳正等着学校的大门打开时。

根据“when he suddenly started to cry”突然哭了起来，所以前面等待是一个长动作，用be doing，故答案为was waiting。

【2】句意：他希望他的私人助理朱迪能来帮忙，这样他就不会在学校门口哭成那样了。

根据“He wished his personal aide Judy were there to help”此处是wish引导的虚拟语气，应是对现在的虚拟，表示为“他就不会在学校门口哭成那样了”，所以用否定。故答案为would not make。

【3】句意：被诊断为自闭症的儿童在外表和行为上都有很大的不同。

分析句子“Children __3__ (diagnose) with autism can look and act very differently”，主语是his“Children”，谓语动词是“ can look and act ”，所以此处是分词作定语修饰“Children ”；因为儿童和诊断之间是被动关系，所以过去分词，故答案为diagnosed。

【4】句意：有些人很难直视别人的眼睛。

根据have trouble+ doing表示“做……有困难”；结合所给单词，此处应是很难直视别人的眼睛，故答案为looking。

【5】句意：一些有音乐天赋的自闭症儿童甚至有机会被邀请到乐队演奏。

根据have the chance to do sth表示“有机会做什么”；根据“children”和“invite”之间是被动关系，所以此处用被邀请，故答案为to be invited 。

【6】句意：克里斯蒂安可能会像大多数孩子一样忽视他，但他没有。

分析句子“Christian __6__ (may overlook) him like most kids would have, but he didn’t”克里斯蒂安可能会像大多数孩子一样忽视他，但他没有，用might have done表示对过去的推测“可能做”，故答案为might have overlooked。

【7】句意：克里斯蒂安只是伸手抓住康纳的手，让康纳的一天变得更好。

分析句子“Instead, Christian just reached over and grabbed Conner by the hand, __7__ (make) Conner’s day better.”此处应该是“克里斯蒂安只是伸手抓住康纳的手”，这件事情让让康纳的一天变得更好，所以用现在分词，表示主动关系。故答案为making。

【8】句意：今年以前，这两个男孩一直在一起上课，但他们彼此不太了解。

分析句子“The boys ___8___ (be) in classes together before this year”，根据before+过去的时间，此处应用过去完成时，结合所给单词，故答案为had been。

【9】句意：这种关注在社交媒体上迅速传播开来，很多人都被这种善举感动了。

分析句子“many people ___9___ (touch) by this act of kindness. ”此处应该是被感动，本段为一般现在时，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，故答案为are touched。

【10】句意：说些好听的话，把纸巾递给哭泣的人，让他的日子好过一点。

分析句子“…hand a tissue to someone who ___10___ (cry) and make his day better”此处是who引导的定语从句修饰someone，此处表示那时正在哭泣的人，故答案为was crying。
