【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了史密斯先生他经营了几个商店，可是他得了一场大病后，却发现自己特别爱忘事。

1.things句意：当他从医院里出来以后，他发现他非常爱忘事。短语forget things忘记事情，因为thing是可数名词，故用things。

2.for句意：他告诉他的秘书买一些贵重的礼物那天下午带到他的生日聚会上。短语buy sth for sb为某人买某物。故用for。

3.forgot句意：后来他出去吃了很长时间的午饭，回来忘记了所有的关于聚会的事情直到秘书打电话来提醒他。根据he went out for a long lunch,是过去式，所以这里也应该用一般过去时，故用forgot。

4.his句意：后来他出去吃了很长时间的午饭，回来忘记了所有的关于聚会的事情直到秘书打电话来提醒他。根据Then Mr. Smith asked his secretary 可知，是他的秘书，故用his。

5.fast句意：他让他的司机开始以最快的速度。短语as fast as，故用fast。

6.jumped句意：当到达那里的时候，他从车里跳出来。短语jump out of从某地跳出来。故用jumped。

7.good句意：不带帽子去参加聚会时不好的。句式：It is+形容词+to do sth做某事是怎样的。故用good。

8.here句意：告诉她马上把帽子送到这里来。bring sth here把某物带到这里来。故用here。

9.head句意：史密斯摸着他的头，发现司机是对的。根据But you’re wearing your hat可知，这里指帽子在头上。故用head。

10.so句意：因此他说：去打电话告诉她不要让她送帽子来了。因为前后是因果关系。故用so。
