【4】changed

【5】surprise

【解析】本文介绍了好事再小也是有意义的，这些小事能让世界变成一个更好的地方。Murray发现她的学生做了好事后，班里变化很大，都开始自觉地去做好事。

【1】句意：这些善意的行为似乎非常小。主语these acts of kindness是复数形式，故谓语用复数形式，故为seem。

【2】句意：但是第一中学的学生知道如此小的行为也能使世界成为一个更好的地方。修饰small acts，故用形容词such。

【3】句意：这所学校的八年级的学生，从3月31日到4月4日参加随机的善意行为。from……to……“从……到……”，故此处为from。

【4】句意：我相信世界通过这些小事被改变。根据But students at No.1 Middle School know that s___2___ small acts make the world a better place.可知小事也能改变世界，此处表示被动，故用过去分词changed。

【5】句意：经过一周，令她惊讶的是，Murray也看见了她班里的巨大变化。To one’s surprise令某人惊讶的是，故此处为名词surprise。

【6】句意：在那之前，她总是需要要求她的学生离开教室之前把椅子推进去或者关上灯。根据to push the chairs in or turn off the lights before they leave the classroom.可知离开教室前需要关灯或把椅子推进去的，应是学生，故此处为students。

【7】句意：现在，学生们独自做这些事。by oneself独立的，主语the students是复数，故对应的反身代词是themselves。

【8】句意：另一个学生Eliza更多称赞其他人。修饰单数名词student，故用another。

【9】句意：Murray决定每周继续做至少一件好事。at least至少，故此处为least。

【10】句意：她相信她的行为能鼓励其他人。主语she是第三人称单数，故谓语用第三人称单数，故为believes。
