【分析】
本题为英语语法填空题，需结合语境、时态、词性转换、固定搭配及语态等知识点逐一分析。解题思路：先通读短文理解大意，再针对每个空格，根据句子结构、语法规则及上下文逻辑确定答案。
1. 由while引导的时间状语从句，主从句动作同时发生，需用过去进行时；
2. 修饰动词changed，需用副词；
3. 与reading并列作伴随状语，用现在分词；
4. 修饰名词things，需用形容词；
5. 考查固定短语搭配；
6. 前后句为转折关系，需用转折连词；
7. 考查固定短语搭配；
8. 主语text与动词write为被动关系，需用一般过去时的被动语态；
9. 考查固定短语搭配；
10. 主语为第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用单三形式。
【解析】
1. 句意为“当许多美国人度假时，Edward Tian正在开发一款新应用”，while引导的时间状语从句用过去进行时，主句也用过去进行时，主语为单数，故填was working；
2. 此处修饰动词changed，需用surprise的副词形式surprisingly，故填surprisingly；
3. 此处与reading并列作伴随状语，用learn的现在分词形式learning，故填learning；
4. 修饰名词things，需用end的形容词形式endless，意为“无尽的”，故填endless；
5. 固定短语in seconds意为“立刻，马上”，故填seconds；
6. 前句说技术神奇，后句说像潘多拉魔盒，为转折关系，故填But；
7. 固定短语come up with意为“提出”，故填up；
8. 主语text与write为被动关系，动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时的被动语态was written，故填was written；
9. 固定短语a large number of意为“大量的”，故填a；
10. 主语it为第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用单三形式seems，故填seems。
