【分析】
这篇短文围绕童年记忆里的圆桌展开，解题时需结合语境和语法规则逐一分析每个空：
1. 第1空：get together的目的是吃晚饭，需用不定式表目的，所以填to have；
2. 第2空：前文已提到a round table，再次特指这个圆桌，要用定冠词the；
3. 第3空：修饰动词added，形容词happy要变为副词形式happily；
4. 第4空：前半句说“看起来更拥挤”，后半句说“感觉彼此更亲近”，是转折关系，用连词but；
5. 第5空：make是使役动词，结构为make sb do sth，所以填动词原形feel；
6. 第6空：指代前文的grandpa的座位，用形容词性物主代词his；
7. 第7空：our表示“我们的”，对应的家是多个，所以用名词复数homes；
8. 第8空：different后接可数名词复数，culture变为cultures；
9. 第9空：of是介词，后面接动名词形式，look变为looking；
10. 第10空：与前文的was、后文的will always be呼应，体现过去、现在、将来的延续，用一般现在时is。

4. but：前后句存在转折关系，“看起来拥挤”和“感觉亲近”形成对比，用转折连词“but”；
5. feel：使役动词“make”的用法为“make sb do sth”，所以填动词原形“feel”；
6. his：指代前文的“grandpa”，表示“他的座位”，用形容词性物主代词“his”；
7. homes：“our”表示多个个体的所属，对应的“家”要用复数形式“homes”；
