67、htening空格处与and 前的interesting为并列成分，同为形容词作宾语补足语，故填frightening。45who/that先行词为“the children”，关系词在从句中作主语，因此用关系代词who/that。46Itit作形式主语，代替真正的主语：动词不定式短语“to find children on Monday”。47to betend to do sth.“倾向于做某事”，因此本空填动词不定式to be。48thankfulbe thankful for“因而感激”。49helps根据语境，本句应用一般现在时态，因主语为“The experience”，故谓语动词

Eventually, Chen Hui, who came from Class 6, Senior 3, took first place.This activity was successful and meaningful. On the one hand, it helps build up the students health; on the other hand, it puts the students persistence and determination to the test.
