【分析】
本题为英语词汇形式填空题，需结合句子结构、固定搭配、时态、词性变化等知识点解题。先通读短文理解主旨，再逐个分析空格：
1. 空格前为be动词，需形容词作表语，括号内help是动词，转换为形容词helpful；
2. 固定搭配think of doing sth（of为介词，后接动名词），故talk变talking；
3. 描述过去的经历，用一般过去时，regret的过去式为regretted；
4. 时间状语since then（从那时起）是现在完成时标志，主语为I，故用have realized；
5. 固定搭配encourage sb to do sth（鼓励某人做某事），故communicate变to communicate；
6. 固定搭配make decisions（做决定），需用名词复数，decide的名词是decision，复数为decisions；
7. 空格处修饰动词make，需用副词，certain的副词是certainly；
8. 句中表“最重要的”，用形容词最高级结构the + 形容词最高级，故填the most important；
9. 空格处作主语，需用名词，silent的名词是silence；
10. 祈使句以动词原形开头，句首首字母大写，故填Try。
