【解析】

试题分析：本文记叙了我14岁的弟弟约翰买下一件黑色羊毛大衣，接下的几个礼拜，约翰有了转变，他变得更有礼貌，更周到，更赏心悦目。是衣服改变了他吗？不是，真正改变约翰的是他自己的态度，如果你把自己看做绅士或者淑女，你就可以成为那样的。

1.1】结合下文but John’s face was shining with joy.可知上文意思是什么也没说，故选nothing

2.2】考查词组：be popular with受…欢迎

5.5】结合下文可知本句话意思是孩子们觉得你的外套怎么样？选How

6.6】考查动名词：start calling开始叫他

7.7】根据下文He became more polite及下文描述，可知本句意思是他身上发生了一些好的事情，填happened

8.8】考查动词：他愿意帮助老人过马路，用cross

9.9】考查介词：like a gentleman像个绅士，

10.10】联系上文可知约翰的变化是因为自己的态度：because
