for是介词，后面跟动名词。
62. which
非限制性定语从句，而且在从句中作opened的宾语，用which而不是that引导。
63. finally
have been acknowledged是谓语，用副词作状语修饰。
64. declared
时态保持一致，一般过去时。
65. to retire
她没有退休计划，动词不定式作plan的定语。
66. have made
持续到说话时，即目前，典型的现在完成时。
67. but
not... but... 不是... 而是...；希望大家熟悉。

69. a
可数名词单数形式。
70. wonderful
Its后面表语，用形容词。
