【解析】本文主要讲述了《百万英镑》的故事梗概。

【1】Henry与spot之间是被动关系故用spotted。

【2】由前一句的时态及主语是he可知用wanders。

【3】设空处表泛指且job为辅音音素开头，故用a。

【4】此处表示被动，故用被动语态。所以答案为invited。

【5】a(n) envelope with a bank note in it to him此处为with短语作后置定语。

【6】由设空前后的词可知，设空处为形容词修饰名词，故用secret。

【7】情态动词can后用动词原形。

【8】want to do…，故用to accept。

【9】由逗号前面的them及设空后的charity可知，设空处用形容词性物主代词their。

【10】设空处与feeling构成系表结构，故用surprised。
