文章大意：Julie热爱阅读，这得益于她的父母。而热爱阅读让她受益匪浅。
答案：
1.a Julie在她所在城市的一所重点中学长大。不定冠词表泛指。
2.where 在这所中学里，她的父母教授汉语。此处应填关系词引导定语从句;从句部分her parents both taught Chinese不缺少主语、宾语，所以填关系副词;先行词为school，所以填where。
3.were devoted who在此引导定语从句，所以填谓语动词;be devoted to“热爱，致力于”。
4.reading 第一段第一句话“Julie enjoyed reading...”和第二段第一句话“Her interest __5__ reading...”都有提示。
5.in interest后常接介词in。
6.her 她对阅读的兴趣得益于她父母规定她每天只能看半小时电视。
7.herself entertain oneself“自娱自乐”。
8.surprising 修饰物应该用其现在分词形式的形容词surprising。
9.pleasure 由空所在上下文可知，应该填名词形式pleasure。
10.but not only...but(also)...“不但……而且……”。
