【解析】

主旨大意:本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个男孩自己做家务的故事。妈妈生病卧床休息，爸爸工作又忙，因此他承担了做家务的活。通过做家务，他体会到了妈妈平时为家里付出的太多了。

1.句意为：直到我的妈妈病了，我才知道自己有这么大用处。根据句意及空后单词mum可知，此处应填形容词性物主代词。故填my。

2.句意为：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.句意为：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保持一致。且根据时间状语every day可知，此处用一般现在时。故填returns。

4.句意为：这一次，我不得不________星期都得依靠我自己了。根据语境可知此处表示整个周，结合首字母提示可知应填whole。

5.句意为：我被提供了做家务的机会。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.句意为：我一放学回家就要自己做饭。根据语境可知作者做了多次饭，故此处应用名词复数，故填meals。

7.句意为：我妈妈一直做饭很快，________我总要花好长时间。根据句意可知，此处前后两句之间为转折关系。故填but。

8.句意为：到周末，我真的很累。此处需用副词修饰形容词tired。故填really。

9.句意为：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。

10.句意为：________ 这次我知道了妈妈为我们家做了多少。根据语境可知此处表示“通过”，结合首字母提示可知应填through。
