【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者在一次学校演出的准备过程中，因台词记不熟而被调换角色，因此情绪低落。在陪同妈妈散步时，作者看到蒲公英虽平凡但是有独特之处，由此激发作者积极向上的心态。

1.句意：当我在五年级时，我被选为出演学校话剧中的公主。根据定冠词the和单数名词grade可知此处用序数词，表示顺序，five的序数词是fifth，故填fifth。

2.句意：虽然我没有告诉妈妈那天发生了什么，但是她感觉到了我的不开心，问我是否想在院子里散散步。结合语境可知，前后句之间的句意上是“虽然……但是……”的让步关系，属于though引导的让步状语从句，句首首字母大写，故填Though。

3.句意：我们穿过草地看到蒲公英出现了，就像一个画家用点点金色触动了我们的树林和田野。根据“the grass”并结合语境可知，此处是从内部穿过草地，through表示“从……内部穿过”故填through。

4.句意：我妈妈认真地看着我。此处需要副词修饰动词短语look at，serious的副词是seriously，故填seriously。

5.句意：是的，每朵花都在以它自己的方式闪耀。此处需要形容词作定语修饰way，形容词性物主代词在句子中可起到形容词的作用，it的形容词性物主代词是its,故填its。

6.句意：她已经猜到了我的痛苦，我哭了起来，告诉了她实情。此处需要名词作动词told的宾语，true的名词是truth，不可数名词，故填truth。

7.句意：她还提醒我，我是多么喜欢大声给她读故事。结合语境，此处指的是喜爱的程度，对程度提问，用how much，故填much。

8.句意：我感觉比以前好多了。much是比较级的修饰词，than是标志词，good的比较级是better，形容词作表语，故填better。

9.句意：接下来的几个星期，我学会了以这个角色为荣。结合语境可知，妈妈用蒲公英激励我并告诉我每个人都会以自己的方式闪耀，由此推断，此处表示的是我学会了以这个角色为傲，take pride in“以……为傲”，固定短语，故填pride。

10.句意：演出前几分钟，我的老师向我走来。根据下文“After the play”可推断，此处指的是演出前几分钟，before“在……之前”，故填before。
