【解析】

本文为记叙文。这篇短文中主要记述了作者小时候的一件事。也正是因为这件事，才让作者后来成为了一名受人欢迎的音乐家。

1.考查固定用法。句意：14岁的时候，我决定（通过）帮米勒先生割花园里的草，赚点零花钱。by doing sth，为固定用法，意为“通过….，凭借…”。故填helping。

2.考查副词。句意：工作了一个星期后，Miller先生说他没有钱给我，这使我大为吃惊。分析句子可知，本句中的great用于修饰动词surprise，修饰动词要用副词形式，故填greatly。

3.考查固定用法。句意：我和他争吵后我生气地回家了。in+名词相当于形容词或副词。本句中的angry在句子与介词in一起作状语修饰动词go home，所以用in anger,意为“生气地”（相当于angrily）,因此填anger。

4.考查代词。句意：我父母告诉我不要生Miller先生的气，因为他遇到了困难。根据语境可知，是Miller先生（他）遇到了困难，所以要用代词he，故填he。

5.考查固定用法。句意：然后我妈妈打电话给Miller先生，他们在电话里谈了些事情。on the phone=by phone，有the,前面就要用on, 没有the，故本空填 the。

6.考查副词。句意：几天后，我母亲叫我回到Miller先生的花园帮忙，因为他太虚弱了。Later意为“以后，过后”，故填later。

7.考查固定搭配。句意：因为他太虚弱了，不能照看他的花园。Too…to…为固定搭配，意为“太….而不能…”，故填to look。

8.考查连词。句意：当我回去的时候，Miller先生说：“对不起，我没有钱，但我可以为你做点事。”分析句意可知两句前后意思是转折的，故填but。

9.考查谓语动词。句意：我对它很感兴趣，我忘记了钱，愉快地完成了工作。本文玉要讲述过去发生的事，forget在句中作谓语，用一般过去时，所以答案是forgot。

10.考查名词。本空前被形容词最高级修饰，形容词修饰名词，分析句子可知本空在句子作主语，所以填名词Singers。
