本题为英语语篇填空题，需结合固定句型、固定搭配、语法规则及上下文语境完成填空。1空需用so构成so...that句型；2空需表达因果关系，结合结构用Because；3空考查be afraid to do sth的固定搭配；4空考查share sth with sb的固定搭配；5空由than提示用形容词比较级。
【解析】
1. 固定句型so...that意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句，符合语境“我如此粗心，以至于把水倒在爸爸的新手表上”，故填so。
2. 此处需表达“因为水”，Because of是固定短语，后接名词短语the water，句首首字母大写，故填Because。
3. 固定搭配be afraid to do sth意为“害怕做某事”，符合语境“我害怕告诉他真相”，故填to。
4. 固定搭配share sth with sb意为“和某人分享某物”，符合语境“我和最好的朋友分享问题”，故填with。
5. 由句中than可知需用形容词比较级，important是多音节形容词，比较级为more important，符合语境“没有什么比家人的爱和信任更重要”，故填more。
