Answer 1

分析 短文主要描述了作者改自己的一个坏习惯的过程．

解答 61．actually，考查副词的用法，此处应使用副词修饰动词work．  
62．them，考查代词的用法，应使用人称代词them指代前面提到的my kids． 
63．a，考查冠词的用法，thing是可数名词，因此前面泛指"一件真正重要的事情"应使用冠词a．       
64．when/while/if，考查连词的用法，可以使用表示时间的when或while引导时间状语从句，也可以使用if引导条件状语从句．       
65．nervous，考查形容词的用法，位于be动词后应使用nerve的形容词形式，be  nervous about"对…紧张"．
66．made，考查谓语动词，句子的主语是Knowing I was less patient at some times than others，因此make是谓语动词，短文使用的是一般过去时，因此答案为make的过去式made．
67．that，考查强调句，其构成形式为it is/was…that…，句子强调的是主语，引导词使用that．
68．complaining，考查动名词充当宾语的用法，bear doing sth"忍受做某事"，故答案为动名词形式complaining．
69．which，考查定语从句的引导词，先行词为mantra，引导非限制性定语从句应使用which．
70．from，考查介词的用法，表达"从…角度"使用介词短语from a…angle．
