【解析】

主旨大意：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者由于妈妈生病需要卧床休息，爸爸工作又忙，因此他承担了所有家务。通过做家务，他体会到了妈妈平时为家里付出得太多了。
1. 句意：直到我的妈妈病了，我才知道自己在家里有这么大用处。根据空后名词mum可知，此处应填形容词性物主代词。故填my。
2. 句意：医生说她需要卧床好好休息。have a good rest好好休息，为固定搭配。故填a。
3. 句意：我爸爸在一家餐馆工作并且每天很晚回家。此处and连接的两个动词时态应保持一致。且根据every day可知，此处用一般现在时。故填returns。
4. 句意：这一次，我整个星期都得________我自己了。空前是短语have to 不得不，为固定搭配，所以此处填动词原形。depend on依赖，为固定搭配。故填depend。
5. 句意：我有了做家务的机会。provide与I之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用被动语态。故填provided。
6. 句意：做晚饭对妈妈来说一直很快，________我却要花好长时间。根据句意可知，此处前后两句之间为转折关系，故填but。
7. 句意：晚饭后，我洗餐盘。根据常识可知盘子不止一个，故填dishes。
8. 句意：我________晚上才开始做作业。not...until...直到……才，为固定搭配。故填until。
9. 句意：到周末，我真的很累。此处需用副词修饰形容词tired，故填really。
10. 句意：我妈妈这周感觉好多了。根据上下文和句意可知，此处指妈妈这周比之前感觉好多了，用形容词比较级，故填better。
