解析：

(1)	刚刚放学回家，我被眼前的一幕震惊(shocked)得目瞪口呆。
(2)	由下文的finding Mother in tears可知此处应填crying。
(3)	在发现母亲伤心流泪时我所表现的尴尬和震惊证明了我对母亲肩负的压力了解得是多么的少(little)。
(4)	母亲在自我安慰：我想我们大家都会失败。something前省略了介词in。
(5)	sense“觉察到”；realise“意识到”。
(6)	arrival“到来；到达”。
(7)	我伸出手抱住了母亲，她那时完全崩溃(broke)了。她把脸俯在我的肩上，抽泣起来。
(8)	我知道我在做我应该做的事和我能做的事，那已经足够了。
(9)	双手抱着母亲，故此处应是抚摸着母亲的背部(back)。
(10)	根据上文的表述可知母亲精神难以控制，也会崩溃。
(11)	although引导的让步状语从句，表示“尽管；即使”的意思。
(12)	然而(yet)母亲像我一样也有别的东西：恐惧、内心的痛苦(hurt)和失败。
(13)	seek“寻找；搜索”。我曾无数次的从母亲怀里寻找安慰。
(14)	the radio station offered为定语从句，修饰salary。
(15)	因为发生了这件事情之后，每次晚上经过母亲的房间听到她在打字都会有一种不一样的感触。
