语篇解读：作者经常在乘坐公共交通工具时让座给别人，认为这样可以影响周围的人，让这种行为迅速传播开来。

1．[解析]考查动词。“who ________(need)it more than I”是定语从句，修饰someone，关系代词who在从句中作主语，所以定语从句中的谓语动词的人称和数应与先行词保持一致，根据主句谓语动词使用一般现在时态可知，从句也应使用一般现在时态，且先行词是第三人称单数，所以定语从句中的谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填needs。

[答案]inspired

6．[解析]考查介词。For example“例如”，是固定搭配，此处举例解释上文提到他们也开始做类似的善意举动，例如，让座给别人或者让自己适应他人。故填for。

[答案]for

7．[解析]考查代词。此处作宾语，与主语指同一个人，用反身代词。故填themselves。

[答案]themselves

[答案] a

10．[解析]考查非谓语动词。To come作表语，表示一次性的，具体的、将要发生的动作。故填to come。
