【解析】
第一处： 删去at。aged为形容词，其后可直接跟数字表示"……岁"。
第二处： 在fun后加of。make fun of"取笑"为固定搭配，用于被动时，不能去掉of。
第三处： them→him。此处表示的是对他来说，一切似乎都是不可能的。故应改为him。
第四处： failure→failures。此处failure是可数名词，表示"失败的事";再根据前面的"many"可知应用其复数形式。
第五处： That→What。分析句子结构可知，What在句中引导主语从句，且在从句中作主语。注意：that引导名词性从句时，在从句中不充当句子成分。
第六处： get→got。由前文的"completed university education and"可知，此处也应用一般过去时。
第七处： asking→asked。ask与其逻辑主语he之间是动宾关系，故应使用过去分词形式。此处是状语从句的省略，相当于When he was asked...。
第八处： a→the。the key to..."……的关键"，为固定用法。
第九处： health→healthy。此处应用形容词作表语。
第十处： have→has。句子的主语为Dick故谓语动词应用第三人称单数。
