【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了无法平衡工作和家庭的作者偶遇了自己父亲的一位病人，从他那里得知了父亲告诉他的人生感悟—要多花时间和家人相处。

1.考查名词。句意：在办公室我有三个新项目，在家里我有一个年幼的儿子，他长得很快而且需要我。分析可知，所填空之前有数词three作限定词，应用名词复数。故填projects。

2.考查形容词。句意：我很困惑，不知道如何处理工作和家庭之间的关系，直到有一天，在我去芝加哥出差的时候，我遇到了家里的老朋友丹，他曾经是我父亲的病人。分析可知，所填空之前有系动词was，因此需要形容词作表语。所给词“puzzle”, 动词，意为“使……困惑”，其用来修饰人的形容词形式为puzzled。故填puzzled。

3.考查介词和固定结构。句意：我很困惑，不知道如何处理工作和家庭之间的关系，直到有一天，在我去芝加哥出差的时候，我遇到了家里的老朋友丹，他曾经是我父亲的病人。分析可知，所填空之后为名词短语作宾语，因此应填介词，且与之前的came搭配构成固定结构。come across，意为“偶然遇到”，符合句意。故填across。

4.考查定语从句。句意：我很困惑，不知道如何处理工作和家庭之间的关系，直到有一天，在我去芝加哥出差的时候，我遇到了家里的老朋友丹，他曾经是我父亲的病人。分析可知，“___4___ was once a patient of my father's”应为之前名词短语“an old family friend Dan”的非限制性定语从句，先行词在从句中作主语。故填who。

5.考查强调句。句意：是我父亲帮助他战胜了癌症。分析可知，将句中的“was”“that”删掉后，句子结构完整，即：my father helped him go through the cancer。因此考查强调句结构：It is/was+被强调部分+that+其他。“___5___ was my father that helped him go through the cancer.”强调主语“my father”。故填It。

6.考查固定结构和动词不定式。句意：当丹知道他得了癌症时，他很沮丧，想要放弃，但我的父亲，他的医生，鼓励他继续与癌症作斗争。分析可知，want to do sth., 意为“想要做某事”。故填to give。

7.考查固定结构和动名词。句意：当丹知道他得了癌症时，他很沮丧，想要放弃，但我的父亲，他的医生，鼓励他继续与癌症作斗争。分析可知，go on doing sth.， 意为“继续做某事”。故填fighting。

8.考查冠词。句意：你有美好的生活和三个可爱的孩子。分析可知，life名词，意为“生活”，属于不可数名词，但之前有描绘性定语“wonderful”存在，可以转化为可数名词，wonderful是以辅音音素开头的词，所以使用不定冠词a。故填a。

9.考查连词。句意：想想看，你就会知道生命是值得奋斗的。分析可知，前后句为并列顺承关系，应用连词and连接。故填and。

10.考查副词。句意：他的话打动了我，我突然意识到家庭是世界上最重要的。分析可知，所填空应为副词修饰动词“realized”，作状语。故填suddenly。
