【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述公交车司机麦克工作勤恳认真，对人友好，并且讲述他一次开公交车的轶事。

1.句意：但是他从来不会上班迟到。

根据后文“He always goes to work early and leaves late.”可知，麦克总是早去晚回，所以他从来不会迟到。故答案为never。

2.句意：所以他每天清洁公交车，让它保持整洁。

根据“he cleans the bus every day”，马克每天做清洁，所以公交车能够保持整洁。故答案为keep。

3.句意：他每天都很开心，每遇到一个乘客就对他说你好。

根据句意可知，马克向乘客说你好作为打招呼的方式；主语是第三人称单数。故答案为says。

4.句意：通常情况下他不会在那里停车，因为没人在这站下车或在车站等待。

根据句意可知，后一句话是前一句话的解释，不停车的原因是没人会在这站下车或上车。故答案为because。

5.句意：但是公交车上一个男人告诉他一个老太太想要上车。

短语on the bus在公交车上，强调坐公交车这个概念，表示出行的交通方式。故答案为on。

6.句意：老太太离车站不远，但是她走得很慢。

根据句意以及后文from提示可知，考查短语far from 离……很远。故答案为far。

7.句意：所以马克大概等了两分钟。

因为老太太离车站不远，可知马克等老太太的时间为两分钟，minute分钟，可数名词。故答案为minutes。

8.句意：然后他帮助她上了公交车。

词组help sb. to do sth.帮助某人做了某事，其中sb.用宾格形式，此处指老太太。故答案为her。
