答案解析：

61. resting

spend some time doing sth.是固定搭配，表示"花费时间做某事"，因此这里要填rest的动名词形式resting。

62. a

model是可数名词，这里表示“一个模特”，所以需要填入不定冠词a。

63. was told 根据句意，Sarah被告知她可能会成为英国的新超级名模，应使用一般过去时的被动语态，所以填入was told 。

64. who/that 这里是一个定语从句，先行词是Sarah，关系代词在从句中作主语，指人，可以用who或者that。

65. to prove

want to do sth. 想要做某事，这里表示Sarah想要证明她不仅有美貌还有智慧，所以填入不定式to prove。

66. education 这里指的是Sarah想要继续她的教育，所以填入名词education。

67. invitations

several后面需要接复数名词，invitation的复数形式是invitations。

68. in

go to university to get a degree in...表示在某个领域获得学位，所以填入介词in。

69. comes 根据句意，Sarah认为学校应该是首要的，所以使用一般现在时态，主语school是第三人称单数，所以填入comes。

70. certainly 这里需要一个副词来修饰fun，表示肯定的意思，所以填入certainly。
