【解析】

本文讲述了乔治由于记错了妻子教给自己的英语句子，而产生与美国总统奥巴马之间一段幽默的对话的故事。

【1】题意：乔治是一个非洲国家的首领。根据冠词an和后文的country可知本题应填元音音素开头的形容词，作定语修饰country，故本空将Africa变为形容词形式African。

【2】题意：他决定去学习些英语单词，为了他可能用英语会见美国总统奥巴马。decide to do为固定短语，意为“决定去做某事”，结合语境及本文时态，故填decided。

【3】题意：所以他向他的妻子寻求帮助，因为他懂一点英语。ask for help为固定短语，意为“向某人寻求帮助”，根据语境，本题故填help。

【4】题意：但是妻子告诉他：“当你遇见奥巴马总统时仅用英语“你好吗”来向他打招呼。”根据前文So he asked his wife for …，故此处应是妻子告诉他，故填wife。

【5】题意：当你遇见奥巴马总统时仅用英语“你好吗”来向他打招呼。根据语境“和他他招呼”，故应是遇见奥巴马总统时，故填meet。

【6】题意：他可能会回答“我很好”，这时你只需要回答“我也是”。How are you? 的答语通常为Me, too. 或 I’m fine, too. 根据本句语境及所给词汇，指能填Me。

【7】题意：当飞机降落在机场，乔治有一点紧张，他对微笑着的奥巴马说“你是谁？”根据本句语境，飞机已经降落在机场，故填airport。

【8】题意：脸上依然带着微笑，他回答说“我是米歇尔奥巴马的丈夫。”根据本句语境及still“仍然”，可知乔治脸上依然带着微笑，故填介词with，表示“具有，带有”。

【9】题意：并且看看总统的妻子米歇尔，也正笑得甜蜜。根据前文To his reply, George answered back without a moment “Me, too” 可知回答“Me, too”与看米歇尔的动作接连发生的，故填and表示并列关系。

【10】题意：并且看看总统的妻子米歇尔，也正笑得甜蜜。本句中smiling为现在分词形式，意为“正微笑着”，要用副词修饰，故填sweetly。
