解析：
本题考查七年级英语核心词汇与语法应用，逐空解析如下：
1. 主语He是第三人称单数，全文时态为一般现在时，谓语动词meet要变为第三人称单数形式meets。
2. 固定搭配want to do sth. 意为“想要做某事”，因此填不定式to help。
3. 此处表示“一所中学”，middle以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。
4. 固定表达the first day of school意为“上学的第一天”，序数词first后接可数名词单数，填day。
5. 前文提到Jimmy不想让别人发现自己的秘密，后文说数学老师最终知道了他的秘密，前后是转折关系，句首首字母大写，填But。
6. 此处位于be动词are后作表语，需要把名词friend变为形容词friendly，意为“友好的”。
7. 此处修饰动词say，需要把形容词happy变为副词happily，意为“开心地”。
8. 固定搭配make sth. for sb. 意为“为某人制作某物”，填介词for。
9. 固定搭配for the first time意为“第一次”，要把基数词one变为序数词first。
10. 此处修饰名词life，需要把人称代词I变为形容词性物主代词my，意为“我的”。
