61. them。考查代词。设空处作宾语，指代people，表示“他们”，故填them。
62. a。考查冠词。as a child 意为“小时候”。
63. making。考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。enjoy doing sth. 意为“喜欢做某事”。
64. began。考查一般过去时。设空处所在句意为“Arrieta在波多黎各圣心大学上学时，在附近一家咖啡馆开始进行演出”，设空处表示的动作发生在过去，故填began。
65. asked。考查过去分词作状语的用法。由Arrieta said可知，ask与Arrieta之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填asked。
66. to have。考查不定式作主语的用法。It takes sb. +时间+ to do sth.是固定句型，表示“做某事用了某人多长时间”。此句型中，It是形式主语，to have his own show, Raymond and Friends是真正的主语。
67. which / that。考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰hospital，且在从句中作主语，故填which / that。
68. ages。考查名词复数。设空处作宾语，表示“年龄”，由设空处前的all可知，此处应用名词复数形式，故填ages。
69. is。考查主谓一致。动词-ing形式短语作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。由主句的时态可知，此处描述现在的情况，应用一般现在时，故填is。
70. or。考查连词。设空处所在句意为“不管是通过喜剧还是做善事”，故填or。whether ... or ... 意为“不管……还是……”。
