解析

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是王海本来是一个好孩子，但自从给他买了电脑后，他发生了一些变化，变得不再喜欢学习。妈妈知道这个情况后，及时跟王海进行了谈话，王海意识到了自己的错误，答应妈妈以后不会再这样了。
小题1:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：当王海两年前去育才中学的时候，他学习很努力，功课很好。他还积极参加运动。worried 担心的；unusual 不寻常的；active 积极的；nervous紧张的。根据下文he ran to school everyday可知，王海对运动很积极。故选C。
小题2:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：他每天跑步去上学来锻炼身体。body 身体；legs 腿；arms 胳膊；head头。根据句意可知，王海每天跑步上学是为了锻炼身体，故选A。
小题3:考查形容词短语及语境的理解。句意：他的父母对他非常满意，作为生日礼物，他们给他买了一台电脑。surprised at 对……感到惊奇；strict with 对，某人要求严格；angry with 生某人的气；satisfied with对某人感到满意。根据上下文的文意可知，王海表现很好，所以父母对他感到满意，才会给他买电脑。故选D。
小题4:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：然而，事情开始发生变化。他每天不再早起，也不再跑步去上学。get up 起床；put up 张贴，搭建；found 是find 的过去式，意思是发现，找到；took是take的过去式，意思是带走。根据上下文的意思可知，自从有了电脑，王海就不像以前早起了。故应选A。这个句子使用的是句型stop doing sth.停止做某事。
小题5:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：他失去了学习的兴趣。forgot 是forget 的过去式，意思是忘记；lost是lose的过去式，意思是失去，丢失； found 是find的过去式，意思是发现，找到；took是take 的过去式，意思是带走。根据上下文的意思可知，自从有了电脑，王海就发生了一些变化，不再像以前一样爱学习了。故应该是失去了学习的兴趣。故选B。
小题6:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：一天半夜，王海的妈妈发现了这个变化的原因。choice 选择；change 变化，改变；chant 唱歌；chance 机会。根据短文第二段中something began to change可知，从有了电脑后，王海发生了一些变化，而这里王海的妈妈发现了这些变化的原因。故选B。
小题7:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：这对他又坏的影响，必须制止。good 好的；bad 坏的；useful 有用的；useless没用的。根据上文的文意可知，自从有了电脑后，王海早上不再早起，对学习也失去了兴趣，所以这些都是坏影响。故选B。
小题8:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：第二天，妈妈跟王海进行了一次严肃的谈话。serious 严肃的；seriously 严肃地；happy 快乐的；sad伤心的。根据文意可知，王海因为玩电脑而耽误了学习，所以妈妈和他之间的这个谈话是很严肃的，应该用形容词来修饰后面的名词talk，故选A，B选项是副词形式。
小题9:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：妈妈告诉他他还不够坚强能控制自己。strong 强壮的，坚强的；weak 虚弱的；new 新的；young年轻的。根据句意可知，王海还没有自制力，来约束自己，所以应该是还不够坚强。故选A，其他选项不符合文意。
小题10:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：王海很高兴他有一个好妈妈，他答应以后再也不会那样了。print印刷； protect 保护；provide 提供；promise承诺，答应。根据文意可知，经过和妈妈的谈话，王海知道了自己的错误，所以这里应该是答应妈妈再也不那样做了。promise to do sth.答应去做某事。故选D。

While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?

As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
