【分析】
本题是英语语法填空与阅读理解结合的题型，分为两部分：第一部分需根据语境、语法规则填写单词的正确形式；第二部分需结合短文内容完成词义猜测和开放性问答。解题思路：1. 语法填空：先通读短文把握时态（一般过去时为主）、语境，再分析每个空格的词性、固定搭配、时态要求等确定答案；2. 词义猜测：理解划线句子含义，结合上下文逻辑对比选项；3. 开放性问答：围绕短文“校园成长周学做家务”的主题，总结合理观点即可。
【解析】
1. 空格后是名词school，需用形容词性物主代词修饰，we的形容词性物主代词是our，故填our。
2. 全文讲述过去发生的事，用一般过去时，show的过去式是showed，故填showed。
3. 下文用Because回答原因，此处需用疑问词Why提问，故填Why。
