My Personal Adventure
In 1965, as a young teacher, I led 30 boys to Arctic Norway. Working independently with the three crew in small groups, they climbed all the peaks within an area of around 100 square miles. By the end of our journey, it (1)_________ (prove) that 16 to 19-year-olds were extremely capable of serious adventures.
I then spent six years in Wales running an outdoor centre for the city of Oxford. All 15 secondary schools sent thirty 14-year-olds for a two-week course, and in the process the students (2)_________ (give) a hard time from time to time. They grew up from the challenges.
I (3)_________ (inspire) by creating what became the National Association for Outdoor Education, writing booklets and lecturing as far away as Australia on the values of adventure for the young. I felt sure that if these young people were the citizens of tomorrow, then the future of society was bright indeed.
My final 20 years (4)_________ (spend) in England before I retired, training students to become adventure teachers. During that period of time, the training (5)_________ (focus) on the 5 to 11-year-olds. I felt sure this age group was too young for serious adventures. I was wrong. Within six years' of time, students from my one-year international course in adventure enjoyed a lot of community projects and some of them even had the chance to participate in some well-known world-class matches.

答案：
(1) had proved
(2) were given
(3) was inspired
(4) were spent
(5) focused
解析：
(1) "By the end of our journey"（到旅程结束时）为过去的时间点，主句动作发生在之前，用过去完成时“had proved”；
(2) students与give之间为被动关系，且描述过去事件，用一般过去时被动语态“were given”；
(3) I与inspire之间为被动关系，用一般过去时被动语态“was inspired”；
(4) "My final 20 years"与spend之间为被动关系，用一般过去时被动语态“were spent”；
(5) 描述过去的培训重点，用一般过去时主动语态“focused”。
