69.D70.B71.C72.A

69．解析：

这是一道主旨题。

文章主要讲述作者退休后开始学习绘画的故事，表面看似乎在讲如何学习绘画。

但是最后一段提到了pianoplayingandreading，并根据“itiswonderfultohavesometimedingwhatIwanttodo”可知作者的目的是讲退休后丰富的生活。

70．解析：

这是一道推理题。

从第一段“perhapsIwastryingtorecoverfromthelossofmyfather,”可知作者想从思念父亲中转移注意力，从而推理出作者十分想念父亲。

71．解析：

这是一道推理题。

从“…foundhiswatercolorstobetheclosesttohowIthoughtgoodwatercolorsshouldlook”作者发现AndrewWyeth的画是最接近作者认为最好水彩画的标准，也就是说作者认为AndrewWyeth的水彩画最好。

72．解析：

这是一道推理题。

根据最后一段“Thereisatimeforeverythinginmyworldanditiswonderfull…”可知作者很享受这种艺术生活。
