【分析】补全对话需结合上下文的问答逻辑和话题连贯性，先根据答句的句式特征（如时态、答语开头）确定问句类型，再匹配对应话题的选项。第68空后答语是现在进行时，对应询问正在做什么的问句；第69空后答语以Yes开头，对应一般疑问句；第70空需对前文的马拉松话题作出回应；第71空需回答时间类问题；第72空需结合后文的“Good idea”确定提议类句子。
【解析】68. Stella的答语用现在进行时说明正在做的事，因此Peter的问句是询问“你正在做什么？”，对应选项E，故选E；69. Stella的答语以Yes开头，说明前文是一般疑问句，内容围绕是否经常跑步，对应选项B，故选B；70. Peter前文称赞Stella跑马拉松很厉害，此处需对这件事作出回应，对应选项A，故选A；71. Peter询问马拉松的时间，答语需是日期，对应选项C，故选C；72. Stella提到需要更多练习，后文Peter回应“好主意”，说明此处是提议一起练习跑步，对应选项D，故选D。
【答案】68.E 69.B 70.A 71.C 72.D

首先通读短文，明确三个国家（韩国、阿根廷、南非）的生日传统，再依次完成各任务：Task A需将人物与对应国家的生日传统配对；Task B需根据原文细节判断正误；Task C需提炼短文主旨选标题；Task D为开放性问题，结合自身实际回答即可。

Task A：根据短文，韩国（Republic of Korea）生日传统是喝海带汤，对应插图B；阿根廷（Argentina）生日会拉耳朵，对应插图C；南非（South Africa）21岁生日会收到特殊钥匙，对应插图A，故73填B，74填C，75填A。
Task B：76题原文提到韩国喝海带汤是为了带来好运和健康，并非感谢父亲，故判断为F；77题原文说明阿根廷拉耳朵是生日带来好运的方式，不是坏运气，故判断为F；78题Danny来自南非，21岁生日会收到特殊钥匙，故判断为T。
Task C：短文核心是不同国家有不同生日传统，但核心目的一致（带来好运和健康），对应选项A，故选A。
