【解析】

语篇解读：小时候，母亲让我到我们家附近的路上邀请那些找季节性工作的人来我家吃午饭。我还得捡干牛粪生火。看到我一脸的不悦，母亲批评了我一顿。我认识到也许有一天，我会需要这些人的帮助。

1. instructed 考查谓语动词。本空在主语后，空格处需填谓语动词，整篇文章用的是一般过去时，因此应填动词的过去式。

2. The 考查冠词。本空在名词前，填定冠词The，表示特指。

3. cooking 考查非谓语动词。由空格前的and可知，本空与前面的短语“making an open fire outside at midday”并列，作介词of的宾语，因此填cooking。

4. where 考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，先行词为the veranda，关系词在从句中作地点状语，因此填关系副词where。

5. Looking 考查现在分词。本空应填现在分词Looking，作状语，表示伴随状况。母亲直视着我的眼睛，问我为什么因帮助别人而闷闷不乐。

6. when 考查状语从句。根据句意可知，空格处需填连词when，引导时间状语从句，意为“当…的时候”。

7. Despite / Regardless of 考查介词（短语）。结合语境可知，此处填介词Despite“尽管”或介词短语Regardless of“不顾，不管”都可以。

8. saying / and said 考查现在分词。say与mother之间存在主谓关系，应用现在分词作状语，表示伴随状况；或用and said做并列谓语。

9. suddenly 考查副词。空格在动词前，应填副词suddenly作状语，修饰动词。

10. it 考查代词。代词it用作形式主语，代替后面that引导的主语从句。
