【解析】Michael是一个普通人，他喜欢自己在家里制作节目。一开始很少有人喜欢上他的节目，但是后来他的节目变得受欢迎了，他的名气也大了。但是Michael仍然有自己的梦想，他还会为这个梦想继续努力。

【1】句意：在他14岁的时候，他买了一些录影机，并请求当地的电视台播放他的节目。radio 收音机；video视频；录像机；Internet因特网；television电视。根据文意可知，Michael自己制作了一个节目，再根据下文and his parents _____7_____ the video machines.可知，做这个节目需要有录像机，故应选B。

【2】句意：Michael联系了500个名人，但是其中只有三个同意上他的节目。forgot 忘记；refused拒绝；agreed同意；received收到。根据是上文contacted 500 famous people but only three of them…可知，一开始上Michael节目的客人很少，句中有表示转折的but，下句话提到However, now many wellknown people want to be on his show现在很多名人都想去他的节目。由此可知应选C，agree to do sth.同意做某事。

【3】句意：在2003年，《Michael Essany秀》这个节目是如此的受欢迎以至于E电视网就他的节目制作了一个节目。strange奇怪的；陌生的；popular流行的，受欢迎的；serious严肃的，严重的；bad糟糕的。根据上句话However, now many wellknown people want to be on his show. 和下句话that even the E! network made a show about his show!可知，Michael的节目现在变得很受欢迎。故应选B。

【4】句意：Michael的节目是从他家的起居室录制的。recorded 录制，记录；discovered发现；introduced介绍；played玩，打球。根据文意可知，Michael是制作节目的，因此这里应用“录制”这个词，故应选A。

【5】句意：在节目开始之前，他的父母去机场迎接客人，并使他们舒适。help out 帮助摆脱困境；look after照顾；pick up接某人；ask for请求，要求。根据空后the guests at the airport可知，这里是Michael的父母去机场迎接客人，故应选C。

【6】句意：节目进行的时候，Michael会讲一些笑话，采访客人们，他的父母来管理录影机。on 进行中；off 关闭；离开；up 向上；down向下。上句话是Before the show starts节目开始之前；下句话After Michael finishes the show是节目结束之后，由此我们可以知道这里叙述的是Michael制作节目的过程，因此这里应说“节目进行中”，故选A。

【7】句意：节目进行的时候，Michael会讲一些笑话，采访客人们，他的父母来管理录影机。mend修理；run 经营，管理；sell卖，销售；buy买。根据文意可知，这里讲述了Michael是如何制作节目的，Michael在节目中采访客人，那么只能是由他的父母来帮助他弄录像机，因此这里选B合适。

【8】句意：Michael完成节目的时候，客人们和Michael以及他的家人一起在餐厅吃晚饭。family 家人；audience观众；boss老板；friend朋友。上文Michael's show is _____4_____from the living room of his family's house提到Michael的节目是在他的家里录制的，所以这里是和他的家人一起在餐厅吃饭，故选A。

【9】句意：Michael的名气大了，但是他仍然有计划和目标。falling 落下，降落；disappearing消失；growing生长；长大；dropping降低，滴。根据第一段However, now many wellknown people want to be on his show以及空后的but表示转折可知，Michael现在的名气大了，故应选B。

【10】句意：那是我的梦想，是一个我打算有一天能实现的梦想。advice 建议；dream 梦想；story故事；example例子。根据空前后I would like to be the host of The Tonight Show. ….and it's a dream I intend to realize one day.可知，这是Michael的梦想，故应选B。
