【解析】这篇短文讲述的是Harvey先生在公交车上差点错拿了一位女士的雨伞，第二天当他拿着自己在商店修好的八把雨伞，坐公交车又碰到了那位女士的时候，被那个女士更加的当成是小偷了。

【1】句意：Harvey的妻子对他说：“有八个雨伞，但是都坏了。”根据下文“I’ll take them all lo the umbrella shop and have them repaired,” Harvey said.，Harvey说要把雨伞拿去修理一下，由此可知，雨伞都坏了，broken坏的，是一个形容词。

【2】句意：Harvey说：“我要把所有的雨伞都拿到店里修理一下，他们太好了不能扔掉。”throw away是一个固定短语，扔掉。根据Harvey的话可以知道，他想把伞修理一下，因此他不想把伞扔掉。句中使用了too…to do sth.太…以至于不能…，故这里填动词原形。

【3】句意：Harvey拿着八把雨伞去了商店，把他们留在了那里。根据下文The next day he collected the umbrellas from the umbrella shop可知，Harvey把伞留在了商店里，第二天去拿的。leave留下，全文使用的是过去时态，故这里填过去式left。

【4】句意：店主说：“他们明天才能修好。”ready准备好的，根据文意可知，雨伞要放在店里一天，第二天才能准备好，也就是修好。因此根据句意填ready。

【5】句意：那个晚上Harvey像往常一样乘坐公交车从办公室回家。as usual 是一个固定短语，意思是“像往常一样”，也符合句意，故填usual。

【6】句意：她有一把雨伞放在座位之间的地面上。根据文意That evening Harvey went home from the office by bus可知，Harvey在公交车上遇见了一位女士，所以雨伞应该放在座位中间，seat座位，名词，根据空前的between可知，这里应填名词的复数形式seats。

【7】句意：请原谅我错拿了你的雨伞。mistake错误，是一个名词。这里by mistake是固定短语，错误地，由于差错所致。根据文意可知，Harvey并不是故意想要偷拿那个女士的雨伞，只是粗心导致错误，故这里填mistake。

【8】句意：当他坐下的时候，一个声音从背后传来：“你今天很成功啊。”voice声音，是一个名词。根据后面…said. “You have certainly had a s___9___ day!”可知，这里是Harvey后面有一个人在说话voice指人的声音。

【9】句意：当他坐下的时候，一个声音从背后传来：“你今天很成功啊。”根据上一段的描述可知，Harvey错拿了那位女士的雨伞，那位女士却以为Harvey是想要偷她的伞。因此这里当她看到Harvey拿着这么多雨伞的时候，她以为这是Harvey成功地偷的。空后的day是名词，这里应填形容词successful。

【10】句意：他转过身来，看到了前一天他差点拿错伞的那位女士。around在周围，四处。这里turn around是固定短语，转身。根据上文a v___8___ behind said. “You have certainly had a s___9___ day!”可知，声音是从Harvey的背后传来，所以这里他应转身看是谁，故填around。
