【分析】
解题时需结合上下文语境、时间状语、固定搭配及语法规则（时态、词性转换等）确定每个空的答案：1. 根据过去时间状语确定动词时态；2. 根据并列关系选择连词；3. 修饰动词短语用副词；4. 运用固定搭配enjoy oneself；5. 依据主语单三确定动词形式；6. 运用固定短语cheer sb up；7. 名词复数形式；8. 运用spend time doing结构；9. even修饰形容词比较级；10. 根据从句时态确定主句将来时。
【解析】
1. 由时间状语从句“when we entered the middle school”（过去的动作）可知，主句用一般过去时，故填became；
2. “understanding”和“dealing with difficult problems”是并列的动名词短语，表并列关系，故填and；
3. 此处修饰介词短语“about helping each other”，需用副词，real的副词形式是really，故填really；
4. 固定搭配“enjoy oneself”表示“玩得开心”，主语是we，对应反身代词ourselves，故填ourselves；
5. 主语“my teacher”是第三人称单数，且句子为一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式says，故填says；
6. 固定短语“cheer sb up”表示“使某人振作”，故填up；
7. difficulty此处指“困难的事”，是可数名词，表泛指时用复数形式difficulties，故填difficulties；
8. 固定搭配“spend time (in) doing sth”表示“花费时间做某事”，故填discussing；
9. even用于修饰形容词比较级，good的比较级是better，故填better；
10. “no matter what”引导让步状语从句，从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时，故填will be。
