【分析】
这道题是情景对话补全题，解题思路如下：首先通读完整对话，明确对话主题是父子二人围绕耐克创始人菲尔·奈特的人生经历展开交流。接下来先梳理5个备选句子的含义，再逐空结合上下文的逻辑线索匹配答案：第一空需要承上启下开启话题，第二空根据后文的时间类答句反推是询问时间的问句，第三空要补充对应时间段的相关经历，第四空对应why引导的原因问句要找because开头的回答，第五空要和后文指代的it形成呼应，最后开放性拓展部分结合自己熟悉的将兴趣发展为事业的名人，填充符合逻辑的内容即可。
【解析】
1. 第1空：前文Joe得知爸爸刚读完菲尔·奈特的自传《Shoe Dog》，后文准备提问他和运动相关的喜好，A选项"Let's start with his passion."可以自然承上启下，开启相关话题，因此选A。
2. 第2空：后文爸爸的答句是"When he was in high school."，是对时间信息的回应，C选项"When did his interest in running start?"是询问跑步兴趣起始时间的特殊疑问句，和答句完全匹配，因此选C。
3. 第3空：前文提到他高中时期就对跑步产生兴趣，后文提到他还为校报撰写大量体育采访内容，D选项"He joined running competitions for many times"是补充他高中阶段参与跑步相关的经历，上下文逻辑连贯，因此选D。
4. 第4空：前文问句是"Why did he decide to sell sports shoes?"，用疑问词why询问原因，E选项"Because he wanted to do something related to sports"用because引导回应原因，完全符合问答逻辑，因此选E。
5. 第5空：前文提到他创立耐克初期遇到了很多挑战，后文爸爸回应"Yes, and it always helps."，B选项"But I believe passion helped"中的passion正好对应后文指代的it，逻辑通顺，因此选B。
6*. 该部分为开放性拓展题，填入符合逻辑、表达通顺的内容即可。
