【解析】短文大意：懷特先生的侄子為了向叔叔要錢，到史密斯家尋找他，由于之前向叔叔寫信告訴他將要來找他，懷特先生也知道侄子找他的原因，就讓史密斯夫人撒謊，說他離開去看望自己生病的朋友了。
①句意：我正在尋找我的叔叔懷特先生。根據句子結構可知，此處應該運用現在進行時態(tài)，所以答案是looking。
②句意：自兩天前他就離開了家。since后跟時間點，翻譯成“自……以來”，結合句意可知，答案為since。
③句意：我去他的家，但是他的孩子告訴我，他將呆在這里直到本周結束。根據語境可知，青年人有點不相信史密斯夫人的話。因為他得知他的叔叔周末才回家，所以答案是until。
④句意：但是昨天有人打電話給他，說他的一個朋友病了。be ill生病的意思。時態(tài)為過去時態(tài)，所以答案是was。
⑤句意：因此他馬上坐火車回倫敦去看他的朋友。at once立刻，馬上的意思。得知朋友生病，急切的心情。所以答案是at。
⑥句意：他應該讓我知道。let sb. do sth.讓某人做某事。根據后面的句意：我給他寫了一封信說我將過來�？芍�答案為know，知道的意思。
⑦句意：我給他寫了一封信說我將過來。write sb. a letter給某人寫信。根據句意及首字母可知，答案為letter。
⑧句意：史密斯夫人看著他離去。動詞watch 后跟代詞的賓格形式，答案為him，指代那個青年人。
⑨句意：你做的非常棒。副詞修飾動詞， 根據語境可知，懷特先生對史密斯夫人的做法非常滿意，所以答案是well。
⑩句意：當他需要錢的時候，他就到處找我。when引導的時間狀語從句用一般現在時態(tài)表將來。注意動詞用三單形式。所以答案是needs。
