【解析】這篇短文給我們講述的是Adam Braun先生建立了一個組織，在世界各地建立學(xué)校，讓每個孩子都能有上學(xué)的機(jī)會。

【1】句意：它的目的是確保所有的孩子都能有機(jī)會學(xué)習(xí)得更好。chance機(jī)會，是一個名詞，根據(jù)下文We live in a world in which every child can have a chance to get a good education, because we have everything necessary already.可知，Braun先生想讓每個孩子都有上學(xué)的機(jī)會。因此這里填chance。

【2】句意：在2014年這個組織每90個小時就在某地方建立一個新的學(xué)校。built是build的過去式，根據(jù)文意可知，Braun先生建立的組織是在世界各地建立學(xué)校，讓每個孩子都有上學(xué)的機(jī)會。句中In 2014是一個過去的時間，故這里填過去式built。

【3】句意：他在印度參觀，這時在大街上一個小男孩叫住他，給他要錢。ask問，要求，這里ask for要求得到某物，是一個固定短語。根據(jù)文意可知，這里描述的是過去的事情，因此應(yīng)填過去式asked。

【4】句意：Braun先生問這個小孩如果他能擁有世界上的任何東西，那么他想要什么。what什么，引導(dǎo)一個賓語從句，在從句中作want的賓語。

【5】句意：所以我把我的鉛筆給了他，他非常的開心、興奮。happy開心的，快樂的，是一個形容詞。根據(jù)上文His answer was ‘a(chǎn) pencil’. So I gave him my pencil…可知，這個男孩想要一支鉛筆，Braun先生把自己的鉛筆給了他，所以他非常的開心，故填happy，和后面的形容詞excited是并列的。

【6】句意：我意識到他以前從來沒有上過學(xué)，那也是世界上57，000，000孩子們面對的現(xiàn)實。school學(xué)校，是一個名詞。根據(jù)上文的內(nèi)容可知，那個男孩在大街上要錢，再根據(jù)下文Braun先生籌集錢建學(xué)�？芍�，這個男孩沒有上過學(xué)，故應(yīng)先school。

【7】句意：Adam Braun畢業(yè)后開始從事金融的工作，但是他從來沒有忘記那個男孩以及他意識到的問題。never從不，從來沒有，是一個否定的意思。根據(jù)下文We are a___8___ to educate every child. So I promised to help create that world可知，Braun先生沒有忘記他意識到的事情，他想給孩子們建立學(xué)校，讓他們都能上學(xué)。故填never。

【8】句意：我們能夠教育每個孩子。able能，會，這里be able to是固定短語，能，會。

【9】句意：Braun先生為他的項目籌集錢。raise籌集，是一個動詞�？涨�has是助動詞，這句話使用的是現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，故這里填過去分詞raised。

【10】句意：從那以后，他的組織出錢在老撾和加納的農(nóng)村建立了200多個學(xué)校。since自從，這里since then是一個固定短語，從那以后。
