【解析】这篇短文介绍我英语水平很差，不愿再努力，妈妈告诉我“不去尝试永远做不到”，这让我态度转变，然后英语取得了很大的进步。

【1】考查形容词。句意：我妈妈的表情很失望。此处形容母亲的心情，应该用disappointed形容人。故填disappointed.

【2】考查形容词。句意：我向下凝视，害怕，羞愧，坚定。结合前面afraid, ashamed的形式可知此处应该用形容词determined修饰我的心情。故填determined.

【3】考查副词。句意：不管我怎么努力，英语都不会在我脑子里扎根。此处用however修饰hard，表示无论多么努力放于句首，首字母大写。故填However.

【4】考查非谓语动词。句意：我试过几个小时来提高我的语法,发音和词汇。此处是目的状语，应该用不定式，故填to improve.

【5】考查动词时态。句意：在家长会之后，我妈妈被告知我完全没有兴趣。结合语境可知my mother与tell之间是被动关系，结合时态，应该用一般过去时态。故填was told.

【6】考查副词。句意：我花了整个下午听妈妈告诉我为什么我应该试试。分析句子可知，此处用why引导宾语从句，表示为什么我应该尝试。故填why.

【7】考查介词。句意：这个简单的说法深深地刺入了我的记忆。stick in刺入，是固定短语。故填in.

【8】考查冠词。句意：我的老师热情的微笑，耐心，开朗的态度，还有我对学习的渴望，都足够起作用。make a difference起作用，有影响，是固定搭配。故填a.

【9】考查代词。句意：几天后，我发现自己能用英语进行了完整的对话，甚至正确地使用了成语。主语和宾语一致时，宾语应该用相应的反身代词，故填myself.

【10】考查非谓语动词。句意：几天后，我发现自己用英语进行了完整的对话，甚至正确地使用了成语。and连接having和using，前后形式一致。故填using.
