阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
“Be proud of what you do,” my father told me.
When I was 15, I got a summer job in a hospital. I was told that one of my
61. (duty) would be sweeping floors. I smiled and remembered Dad's words.
Although my job might be simple, it made me feel 62. (excite). I treated it as a 63. (challenging) because it was my first job. I learnt to be on time and tried to do everything well. In return, I was treated with respect by doctors, nurses and 64. (patient). Each morning I imagined that the dirty dishes would make patients even sicker 65. I didn't wash them clean. After having breakfast, I started 66. (clean) toilets. Even though I was tired, I wanted the job to be done 67. (good). People would say, “That young boy really does a good job.” That gave me a sense of pride.
Working in the hospital taught me that taking pride 68. one's job is important. It does not matter whether the job is sweeping floors or managing 69. large company. Through every job I have ever had, my father's words have always stayed with me. I have swept floors and been a manager. I think Dad would be proud of 70. (I).

61. duties 62. excited 63. challenge 64. patients 65. if 66. to clean 67. well 68. in 69. a 70. me
解析:61. one of+可数名词复数,表示"……之一"。 62.根据系动词feel,可知后面要跟形容词,故用-ed结尾的形容词表示人的状态。 63.不定冠词a修饰名词,故此处填单数名词challenge。 64.跟doctors,nurses保持形态并列一致,故用名词复数patients。 65. if意为"如果,假如",引导条件状语从句。 66. start to do sth开始做某事。固定用法。 67.修饰动词do,要用副词well。 68. take pride in为……感到自豪。 69.单词large发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a,表示泛指。 70.介词of后用人称代词宾格形式me。

【分析】
这是英语短文填空题型，解题时需结合语境、语法规则、固定搭配及词性转换完成填空。具体思路：1. 看到“one of”结构，需用可数名词复数；2. 系动词“feel”后接描述人的感受的-ed形容词；3. 不定冠词“a”后接单数名词；4. 并列成分需保持形式一致，前面为复数名词时此处也用复数；5. 分析从句逻辑，确定条件状语从句的连词；6. 掌握“start to do sth”的固定用法；7. 修饰动词需用副词；8. 牢记固定短语“take pride in”；9. 辅音音素开头的单数可数名词前用不定冠词“a”；10. 介词后用人称代词宾格。
【解析】
61. “one of+可数名词复数”表示“……之一”，故填duties；62. “feel”是系动词，后接描述人感受的-ed形容词，故填excited；63. 不定冠词“a”后需接单数名词，故填challenge；64. 此处与“doctors, nurses”并列，需用名词复数，故填patients；65. 分析语境为条件状语从句，用连词if（如果），故填if；66. “start to do sth”是固定搭配，意为“开始做某事”，故填to clean；67. 此处修饰动词“done”，需用副词，故填well；68. “take pride in”是固定短语，意为“为……感到自豪”，故填in；69. “large”发音以辅音音素开头，泛指“一个大公司”，用不定冠词a，故填a；70. 介词“of”后需用人称代词宾格，故填me。

61. duties 62. excited 63. challenge 64. patients 65. if 66. to clean 67. well 68. in 69. a 70. me

The Importance of Plants
We all know plants are very important to humans, animals and the environment. Now, let me introduce the importance of plants to you.
First of all, for people, plants can meet our basic needs. We can get a lot of food from plants. Some plants can be used to make medicine and clothing. They are also important for animals. Many animals live in forests and feed on plants. Finally, trees and other plants help clean the air, so we can breathe the fresh air every day. They can also cover the soil to stop the wind and water from carrying the soil away.
In a word, plants are so important for us. We should protect plants and try our best to grow more of them.
