【解析】這篇文章主要講了這樣的一個(gè)社會(huì)現(xiàn)象，與過(guò)去的孩子相比，現(xiàn)在的孩子在言語(yǔ)，穿著和表現(xiàn)方面更像成年人。

【1】句意：六年以前，我在紐約市吃午餐，就在那時(shí)，一位女士帶著一個(gè)小男孩坐在我隔壁的桌子旁。所以填when。

【2】Could not help doing是固定用法，意思是情不自禁做某事。

【3】位于句首，且有逗號(hào)與句子分隔，所以需要使用副詞形式。

【4】發(fā)生在過(guò)去的事情，所以用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。

【5】用名詞作賓語(yǔ)。

【6】句意：我和我的朋友們沒(méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)自己很沮喪，直到讀高中。所以填until。

【7】泛指一種變化，所以用不定冠詞。

【8】與過(guò)去的孩子相比，現(xiàn)在的孩子在言語(yǔ)，穿著和表現(xiàn)方面更像成年人。所以填than。

【9】這里含有一個(gè)主語(yǔ)從句，引導(dǎo)詞從句中不作任何成分，但有實(shí)際意義，表示是否，所以填whether。

【10】在一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)中，主語(yǔ)是第三人稱(chēng)單數(shù)，所以謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。
