Answer 1

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
