解析

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是在我们的生活中，能够妨碍我们自身发展的人其实是我们自己。你的生活不会因为你的老板变了而改变，不会因为你的朋友变了而改变，也不会因为你的公司变了而改变。只有当你自己改变的时候，你的生活才会改变。
小题1:句意：一天，一个大公司的职员从午饭的休息时间回来工作时，发现前门上有一个告示。break 在这里是一个名词，意思是休息。lunch break 指的是午饭的休息时间。
小题2:句意：告示上写着：昨天在这个公司里一直阻碍你们成长的人去世了。pass away 是一个固定的短语，意思是去世。根据下文invite you to join the funeral邀请参加葬礼，可知这里是去世了。
小题3:句意：我们邀请你参加在体育馆里准备的葬礼。prepare 准备，是一个动词。这里要用它的过去分词的形式，has been prepared 是现在完成时的被动语态，that 引导的是定语从句，修饰the funeral。
小题4:句意：刚开始时，听说他们的一个同事去世了，大家都很伤心，但是过了一会，他们开始好奇，这个人可能是谁。curious 是一个形容词，意思是好奇的。因为不知道这个人是谁，所以大家都很好奇。
小题5:句意：当职员们来到体育馆参加葬礼的时候，这个好奇心更厉害了。as 当……时候，随着，引导一个时间状语从句。随着参加葬礼这一天的到来，人们的好奇心越来越重。
小题6:句意：职员们一个一个地走近棺材。close 近的，在这里是一个副词，get close to 接近……。根据句意也可以用closer ，即比较级的形式。
小题7:句意：他们站在棺材旁边，非常的震惊，都变得沉默了，就好像有个人触摸到了他们的灵魂深处。in silence 是一个固定短语，沉默地。
小题8:句意：棺材里有一个镜子，往里面看的人都能在镜子里看到自己。himself 他自己，是一个反身代词，在这里代指往镜子里看的人。
小题9:句意：你自己就是那个可以影响你的快乐、你的意识和你的成功的人。affect 是一个动词，意思是影响。这里作者告诉我们，影响自己发展的人其实就是我们自己。
小题10:句意：当你自己改变的时候，当你自己超越了你的信念，当你意识到你就是那个为自己的生活负责的人的时候，你的生活才会改变。beyond 超越，是一个介词。
