【解析】

本文讲述了作者在家的时候，为了解除忧虑，找到内心的宁静，在我的花园里劳作的经历。

1.

句意：我已经通过尝试在花园中用特殊的方法找到内心的宁静来解除我的忧虑。

根据上一句中“worried”可知，这里对应上文，分析句子，这里需要其名词形式worry或worries均可，故答案是worry/worries。

2.

句意：我也想要通过做体育锻炼来提高我的健康水平和免疫力。

根据“by doing physical work”可推断，体育锻炼是为了提高健康水平和免疫力，故答案是improve。

3.

句意：这就像在锻炼一样。

根据“Farming requires a lot of physical work. I have to work in the field every day”可推断，这里想要表达的意思是，耕作需要体力劳动，这就像是锻炼一样，do exercise，锻炼，固定短语，故答案是exercise。

4.

句意：我以前从没种过蔬菜，而我从一本手册里学到了该怎么做。

根据“ I learned how to do it from a handbook”可推断，在学习之前从未种过蔬菜，故答案是before。

5.

句意：我3月份开始工作，其中包括除草和耕作土地，这块地之前是一片草坪。

这里which引导的定语从句修饰the land，指这块土地过去是一片草坪。used to do过去常做某事，固定短语，故答案是used。

6.

句意：我做繁重的工作，而我的女朋友负责捡草和石头。

根据常识可知，除草和耕地的工作是重活，而且根据“while”可知，我女朋友做的工作和我做的工作形成了对比，捡草和石头是简单轻松的工作，故再次证实，此处是表达繁重的工作，所以用heavy，又因空前有the，也可以填heaviest。故答案是heavy/heaviest。

7.

句意：她也/经常给我们拍照。

分析句子，这里需要一个副词修饰动词，首字母是a的副词有also/always，符合语境。故答案是also/always。

8.

句意：我们大约花了20天的下午时间，种了不同的蔬菜如卷心菜和花椰菜。

根据前后句可知，花时间种了蔬菜，故空格要表达的是种植的意思，grow种植，spend some time doing sth.花时间做某事，故答案是growing。

9.

句意：在花园里工作的时候，我遇到了许多种类的小植物和动物，包括花、树、青蛙和鸟。

根据句意可知“小植物和动物”包括“花、树、青蛙和鸟”，including包括，现在分词作伴随状语表补充说明，故答案是including。

10.

句意：这整个经历/环境可以使我放松，并感觉与大自然相连。

上文主要讲的是我在花园工作的经历使我内心得到了宁静，故此处填experience；又可以理解为这整个工作环境使我放松，故也可以填environment。故答案是experience/environment。
