【解析】

1.结合上文中的a middle school boy可知，Li Jun是一个上中学的男孩，由此可知对应的形容词性物主代词是his。

2.结合上文中提到的quite easy可知，Li Jun以前觉得在同学面前讲话是一件很简单的事情，但由I was wrong．可知，事实并非如此，故此处用harder表示“在同学面前讲话比和同学玩时说话难多了”。

3.结合上文的描述可推断，当时Li Jun觉得自己像个哑巴，想迅速离开教室。故quickly“快速地”符合题意。

4.结合上文的描述可知，Li Jun觉得当众演讲很难，这是他的“问题”。故problem“问题”符合题意。

5.解答本题时要结合talk about sth．with sb．这一固定搭配。该短语意为“和某人谈论某事”，故介词with符合题意。

6.结合上文提到的can’t speak in public等信息可推断，中国的学校更注重“写”，而不是“说”，故speaking符合题意。

7.结合下文中的speech competitions，English comers and class discussions可推断，这些活动都能提供很多开口说话的机会。故mouths符合题意。

8.设空前提到了“学生们可以参加其中的任何一项活动”，设空后提到了“他还给学生们提出了一些建议”，结合设空前后的句意，经过逻辑分析可推断，所缺的连词是and，此时and表示递进关系。

9.四个选项的含义分别是：play玩；practice练习；write写；watch观察。本段讲的是要抓住开口练习英语的机会，由此可推断符合题意的选项是practice。

10.结合上文提到的make a speech可知，make符合题意，该短语意为“发表演讲”。
