【分析】先通读短文把握主旨，再结合时态、固定搭配、词性转换、比较级/最高级、连词等语法知识，逐空分析：1. 根据时间状语twenty years ago用一般过去时；2. 固定搭配introduce oneself；3. 由than判断用比较级；4. such的固定结构such+a+adj+可数名词单数；5. 需形容词与其他形容词并列；6. 修饰动词用副词；7. 固定搭配spend time doing；8. 前后因果关系用连词；9. 并列动词用原形；10. 结合语境用形容词最高级。
【解析】1. 由时间状语twenty years ago可知，此处用一般过去时，teach的过去式为taught；2. introduce oneself是固定搭配，意为“自我介绍”，故填反身代词herself；3. 句中than提示用比较级，much的比较级是more；4. such+a+形容词+可数名词单数是固定结构，good以辅音音素开头，故填a；5. 此处需形容词作表语，与generous、kind-hearted并列，humour的形容词形式是humorous；6. 修饰动词短语made up需用副词，quick的副词是quickly；7. spend time (in) doing sth是固定搭配，故填talking；8. 前后句为因果关系，前果后因，故填连词because；9. 与前面的send并列，主语是we，一般现在时，故用动词原形make；10. 结合语境“拥有这样的朋友是我最幸运的事”，用形容词最高级luckiest。
