【答案】 weaker；himself；of；nurses；given；If；a；What；angrily；was chosen
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了一个老人在录用护士时，故意挑起对方的矛盾，通过两人截然不同的反应，从而判断谁适合。
（1）句意：他一天比一天虚弱。weak是形容词，形容词修饰系动词grow，根据day by day可知是比较级weaker，故填 weaker。
（2）句意：因为他不能照顾自己，他决定雇一个护士来照顾他。look after oneself，照顾自己，主语是he，故反身代词是himself，故填 himself。
（3）句意：因为他不能照顾自己，他决定雇一个护士来照顾他。take care of，固定搭配，照顾，故填of 。
（4）句意：一天，老人面试两个护士——Anthony and Peter 。two后是可数名词复习，nurse，是可数名词，故填nurses。
（5）句意：安东尼对你的评价很差。根据助动词has可知此处是现在完成时，故填过去分词，give的过去分词是given，故填given 。
（6）句意：如果安东尼对我有看法，我一定有什么问题。此处是条件状语从句，故是引导词if，如果，故填If。
（7）句意：同时，安东尼给老人端了杯茶回来。cup是名词单数，以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a表示泛指，a cup of，固定搭配，一杯……，故填a。
（8）句意：你对此怎么想？此处是特殊疑问句，think后缺少宾语，故用what提问，故填What。
（9）句意：听到这，安东尼生气地大喊。副词修饰动词shouted，angrily，是副词，生气地，故填angrily。
（10）句意：最后，Peter被录用。根据Peter looked quite common，可知时态是一般过去时，choose与主语Peter是被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是第三人称单数，故助动词是was，choose的过去分词是chosen，故填was chosen。
【点评】考查语法填空，注意调整词性，时态，主谓一致和名词的数等。

She was riding和 suddenly she fell off，可知用when引导时间状语从句，表示就在那时，故填when。
