【解析】作者是从England来到Macao。在西方的女子通常是想将自己白色的皮肤变的黑一些，而东方的女女想将皮肤变的更白一些，作者就是在这个差异中发现了其不同，开始在商店中发现别人的议论而不满意，但是经过朋友的解释就明了了。

试题分析：

1.根据上文，可知句意为：没有多少机会在英格兰享受阳光，我的腿很白。前一句也提到英国是一个潮湿和多云的国家，可知填chance 机会。

2.联系下文，可知句意为：大多数妇女花阳光灿烂的日子都试图让皮肤较黑。尽力做某事try to do sth,又有短语花费时间做某事spend doing sth.结合语境可知填trying。

3.联系前文，可知句意为：我已尽力让皮肤变得黑暗但是对于我来说没有效果！Work还有使产生效果之意。但是nothing为不定代词，动词要用单数形式。可知填works.

4.联系下文，可知句意为：当我在一家商店，两个店员一直盯着我的腿的时候，用中文悄悄地互相交谈。修饰动词要用副词。结合语境及所给短语，可知填quietly, 轻声地。

5.联系前文，可知句意为：我开始感到不舒服，问我的朋友，是否我们可以离开。前文提到听到谈话，还要离开，从上下文得知作者的心里是感觉是不舒服的，因此填写为uncomfortable。不舒服的

6.根据上文，可知句意为：我抱怨的店员很不礼貌。句子中的impolite告诉我们作者是在抱怨，并且是过去时，结合语境可知填，complained。抱怨

7.联系下文，可知句意为：事实上，在商店有很多使皮肤更白的美容产品，它们是要花费很多钱。后一句为被动语态，这件事一直发生的，用一般现在时的被动语态，因此答案为spent.  

8.联系前文，可知句意为：它只是表明我们不满意我们所拥的。根据所给短语可知填shows，此处为一般现在时，主语是第三人称，所以谓语动词用单数形式。

9.联系下文，可知句意为：草地会比另一边的更绿。其中蕴含着比较级在里面，因为接下来的一句话更加体现这一点，更重要的是much出现，much可修饰比较级，草的颜色是绿的同时结合语境可知填greener。更绿的。

10.联系前文，可知句意为：如果西方女性认为同样的方式，西方女性不会花那么多钱在美容产品使皮肤变黑，东方女性也不需要使用美容产品使皮肤变白。这两种观点虽然是不同，但是展示的观点却是同样的方式。可知填same.
