A 70-year old man decided to take part in 70 different sports on his 70 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 70 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.

81_______

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 bad 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.

78. When interviewed the old man was going to have his 70 birthday, wasn't he?

   _______, ______________.

79. What did the old man keep doing so many different sports for?

He kept doing this for _______ and _______.

80. What does the underlined part “Perseverance paid off." mean?

It means ________________________________________________________.

81. What question may the reporter ask in the blank?

The question may be like this, “___________________________________.”
