【解析】

本文讲述了作者把自己在麦当劳中帮助他人的这个事情作为他毕业前的最后一个课题。

1.句意：我被要求去跟三个人微笑，记录下他们的反应。

根据Recently, my college degree has just been completed. The last project was called “Smile”，可知，最后一个课题是要求作者去跟三个人微笑，固定搭配ask sb to do sth要求某人做某事，而主语I和谓语动词ask之间是被动关系，所以要用被动语态。故答案为asked。

2.句意：我是一个很友好的人，总是微笑着对每个人说你好。

空格后person是名词，所以空格处用形容词作定语。根据always smile at everyone and say hello anyway“总是对每个人微笑着说你好”，可知，空格所在句子表示“我是一个友好的人”，所以空格处填friendly。故答案为friendly。

3.句意：我正在排队的时候，突然周围的人都开始后退。

when引导的是时间状语从句。根据As I turned around to see what was happening, an unpleasant body smell came to my nose, and two poor men stood just behind me“当我转过身看看发生了什么的时候，一股难闻的体臭飘进了我的鼻子，两个穷人就站在我后面”，可知，空格处表示“当我正在排队的时候，周围的人突然都开始后退”，所以空格处填suddenly。故答案为suddenly。

4.句意：当我转过身看看发生了什么的时候，一股难闻的体臭飘进了我的鼻子，两个穷人就站在我的后面。

空格前my是形容词性物主代词，后接名词。根据an unpleasant body smell，可知，难闻的味道是飘进了我的鼻子里。故答案为nose。

5.句意：当我看着站在我身边的那位蓝眼睛的绅士时，他笑了。

根据two poor men stood just behind me“两位穷人就站在我后面”，可知，空格处表示“在我旁边”，固定搭配close to sb “靠近某人”。故答案为close。

6.句意：第二个男人笨手笨脚地摸索着。

固定搭配fumble with 笨手笨脚地，所以空格处填with。故答案为with。

7.句意：因为那是他们所能负担起的。

could是情态动词，后接动词原形。根据he counted the few coins that he had“他数着他仅有的几个硬币”，可知，只有咖啡是他们所能负担起的，所以空格处填afford。故答案为afford。

8.句意：就在那时，我注意到餐厅里所有的眼睛都盯着我。

I是主语，所以空格处填谓语动词。根据空格后all eyes in the restaurant were set on me“餐厅里的所有眼睛都盯着我”，可知，空格处表示“注意”。整段都是在描述过去发生的事情，所以用动词的过去式noticed。故答案为noticed。

9.句意：我笑了笑，向服务员又要了两份餐，并将他们给了这两个男人。

根据句意，可知，“我”又跟服务员额外点了两份餐，固定搭配：基数词+more 表示“再……，又……”，所以空格处填more。故答案为more。

10.句意：我交了我的课题，并在班级里分享了这个故事。

We是人称代词主格，在句中作主语，所以空格处填动词作谓语。根据everyone that heard the story in the classroom“班级里每个人都听到了这个故事”，可知，空格处所在句子表示“我在班级里分享了这个故事”，表示过去发生的动作，用动词的一般过去时，所以空格处填shared。故答案为shared。
