【解析】短文大意：怀特先生的侄子为了向叔叔要钱，到史密斯家寻找他，由于之前向叔叔写信告诉他将要来找他，怀特先生也知道侄子找他的原因，就让史密斯夫人撒谎，说他离开去看望自己生病的朋友了。
①句意：我正在寻找我的叔叔怀特先生。根据句子结构可知，此处应该运用现在进行时态，所以答案是looking。
②句意：自两天前他就离开了家。since后跟时间点，翻译成“自……以来”，结合句意可知，答案为since。
③句意：我去他的家，但是他的孩子告诉我，他将呆在这里直到本周结束。根据语境可知，青年人有点不相信史密斯夫人的话。因为他得知他的叔叔周末才回家，所以答案是until。
④句意：但是昨天有人打电话给他，说他的一个朋友病了。be ill生病的意思。时态为过去时态，所以答案是was。
⑤句意：因此他马上坐火车回伦敦去看他的朋友。at once立刻，马上的意思。得知朋友生病，急切的心情。所以答案是at。
⑥句意：他应该让我知道。let sb. do sth.让某人做某事。根据后面的句意：我给他写了一封信说我将过来。可知答案为know，知道的意思。
⑦句意：我给他写了一封信说我将过来。write sb. a letter给某人写信。根据句意及首字母可知，答案为letter。
⑧句意：史密斯夫人看着他离去。动词watch 后跟代词的宾格形式，答案为him，指代那个青年人。
⑨句意：你做的非常棒。副词修饰动词， 根据语境可知，怀特先生对史密斯夫人的做法非常满意，所以答案是well。
⑩句意：当他需要钱的时候，他就到处找我。when引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时态表将来。注意动词用三单形式。所以答案是needs。
