【解析】
1. 由时间状语"One winter"可知，句子用一般过去时，become的过去式为became，故填became；
2. 此处为"so+形容词+that从句"结构，表"如此……以至于……"，符合语境，故填so；
3. feel为系动词，后接形容词作表语，luck的形容词形式为lucky，故填lucky；
4. 固定搭配share sth with sb意为"和某人分享某物"，故填with；
5. 全文讲述过去发生的事，用一般过去时，disagree的过去式为disagreed，故填disagreed；
6. 故事发生在过去，happen的过去式为happened，故填happened；
7. 固定搭配by oneself意为"独自"，主语为a poor woman，对应反身代词herself，故填herself；
8. hour是以元音音素开头的可数名词单数，表"一个"时用an，故填an；
9. 由句中than可知，需用形容词excited的比较级more excited，故填more excited；
10. 此处修饰动词短语cared about，需用true的副词形式truly，故填truly。
