本题主要考查词汇的运用、固定搭配、从句引导词以及被动语态等知识点。解题时需要结合上下文语境、固定短语和句子结构来确定每个空应填的内容。

1. 根据后文“Yet a very young child - or even an animal, such as a pigeon - can learn to recognize faces”可知，这里说的是我们如何能够“认出”其他人，“recognize”有“认出，识别”的意思，所以填“recognize”。
2. “make...different from...”是固定表达，意为“使……与……不同”，这里表示使一张脸与另一张脸不同的特征，所以填“different”。
3. “take...for granted”是固定短语，意思是“认为……理所当然”，这里说我们都把这种识别面孔的能力视为理所当然，所以填“take”。
4. “tell...apart”是固定搭配，意为“区分，辨别”，这里说我们也通过人们的行为来区分他们，所以填“tell”。
5. 根据后文“the way he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that makes that individual different from others”可知，这里说的是当我们谈论某人的“个性”时，“personality”表示“个性，性格”，所以填“personality”。
6. “the way”后面的定语从句，当先行词是“the way”时，定语从句的引导词可以用“that”“in which”或者省略，这里填“in which”。
7. 这里表示“像人类的脸一样，人类的个性也很复杂”，“Like”表示“像……一样”，所以填“Like”。
8. “describe”后面是一个宾语从句，从句中“looked like”缺少宾语，“what”可以在宾语从句中作宾语，所以填“what”。
9. 主语“you”和“ask”之间是被动关系，即“你被要求”，根据语境这里用一般过去时的被动语态，结构是“was/were + 过去分词”，“you”是第二人称，所以用“were”，“ask”的过去分词是“asked”，所以填“were asked”。
10. 根据“kind”“friendly”“warm”等词可知，这里需要一个表示积极性格特点的形容词，“patient”意为“有耐心的”，符合语境，所以填“patient”。
