On the other end of the l___67___ was Abhay’s, a 23-year-old brother, Sukhmeet, a volunteer teaching assistant. His class was at a middle school there. The conversation started with teen’s small talk-asking each other about TV shows, music and school life. But as the teens grew more comfortable, the chat turned s___68___ , such as families issues, stories of social problems. Some kids shared how hopeless they felt, for they could do n___69___ about the danger or threat caused by the climate change.

Answer the questions （12分）根据短文内容完整回答下列问题。A 70-year-old man decided to take part in 70 different sports on his 70th birthday. He did quite a good job. When asked why, he said it was simply to have some fun. He had played sport as a youngster and never stopped. Here is what the old man said to a reporter about his doing sports that year. What was the sport you tried first? Shortly after my 70th birthday, I tried paddle-boarding. Family members were greatly entertained watching me first try to get on the board, then stand on the board and finally fall into the water before trying all over again. The lesson I learned was “Perseverance paid off”. Eventually I stood, I balanced and I paddled. It was an early success. Then I started to teach myself the basics of figure skating. They made it look so easy on the screen. But trying a simple spin （快速旋转） left me falling down on the ice, my elbow and knee hurting. I refused to give up. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. In this case, I learned the skills of the sport-enough to do a very short program-and performed it for my family and anyone else who happened to be around at the community club. Besides the fashionable sports, were there any regular sports among your list?There were some individual sports I took turns to do during the day: running, jumping, walking. For track, I built my own high jump and hurdles. 4 Sure. My family’s support was essential. My wife photographed every event for me to check later. My three sons were always ready for a game, like beach volleyball. The game brought the whole family together. Definitely you had fun. What else kept you doing such a variety of sports?There were some health advantages, too. Over the longer term came the realization that dreams are important, regardless of how unbelievable they might seem. As we age, our hopes and dreams may change, but one should never let them disappear. 74. When interviewed, the old man was going to have his 70th birthday, wasn’t he? _______________, _________________________.75. What did the old man keep doing so many different sports for?He kept doing this for ______________ and ______________.76. What does the underlined part “Perseverance paid off. “mean?It means ______________.77. What question may the reporter ask in the blank?The question may be like this, “______________”.78. List at least two things the family did for the old man when he was exercising.______________________________________________79. What do you think of the old man? Why?______________________________________________VII. Writing （作文）：（共20分）80.
