I thought it was great. (改为否定句)
I ________ think it was great.
It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework, 41 newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see 42 do taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful 43 she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked 44 she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:
I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite 45 . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world 46 you, and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as 47 you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to 48 . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 71 and now he is good at 49 tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.
