Answer 1

分析 作者在一次乘车时遇到一位好心的司机，他给作者讲述了自己小时候因家庭贫困而辍学的经历，鼓励作者要好好学习，珍惜在校的时光．然而真正体现出司机美德的事情是当作者发现自己把手机落到出租车里时司机感人的表现．

解答 61．caught；考查动词的语态，分析句子成分可知the taxis 与动词应是被动关系，故用过去分词caught与前面的are构成被动语态．
62．Unfortunately；考查副词，结合上下文分析可知作者因贫困而辍学是件不幸的事情，故用副词Unfortunately．
63．an；考查冠词，at an early age是一个固定搭配，意为"年纪还小时，在早年"．
64．to work；考查动词不定式，encourage sb to do sth 是固定搭配，意为"鼓励某人做某事"．
65．was；考查主谓一致，句子的主语是从句what really impressed me next，又因动作发生在过去，故动词用was．
66．left；考查动词的时态，本文讲述的是过去发生的事情，故此处用一般过去时left．
67．praying；考查分词作状语，句子的主语 I 与动词pray存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式作伴随状语．
68．expecting；考查动词的时态，从后句and that he would gladly return my phone可知司机愿意归还作者的手机，所以他是一直在等着作者去联系他，故用expecting与前面的 had been 构成过去完成进行时．
69．earlier；考查副词的比较级，结合上下文分析此处意为"在那天早些时候我下车的地方"，故用比较级形式earlier表示"早些时候"．
70．qualities；考查名词的单复数，quality表示"品质，品格"时多用复数形式，此处又有one of 限定范围，故用复数qualities
