(答案→)later
解析：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了“我”的一次坐车经历：在公交车上遇到一个好像是弱智的人，其他人都躲开了，而“我”走近了他，和他聊起来，一路上“我”俩都很高兴。
【小题1】later 考查副词的用法。我离开得较早因为那天晚些时候我有个约会。
【小题2】till/until 考查状语从句的连接词。我的朋友一直陪我直到公共汽车来。
【小题3】sitting/sit 考查动词的用法。notice sb doing/do sth.意为“注意到某人正在做某事/做了某事”。
【小题4】was pretending 考查动词的时态。由giving it a voice可知用过去进行时。
【小题5】mentally 考查副词的用法。此处disabled是形容词，用副词修饰。
【小题6】whom 考查定语从句的关系词。此处he was trying to talk to 是定语从句，people是先行词，whom作介词to的宾语。
【小题7】they 考查代词的用法。他们走开然后坐在我的旁边。
【小题8】on 考查词组的用法。此处考查词组on one’s own (＝alone)。
【小题9】an 考查冠词的用法。amazing是以元音音素开头，故用an。
【小题10】both 考查代词的用法。由上文 We had … amazing conversation可知“我们俩”都很高兴。
