解析：

1. 50前面加of
此行考查的是介词的用法。我们用 a man of+数字 这一结构来表示“一个多少岁的人”。

2. 把that改成what
此行考查的是关联词的用法。观察此行不难看出，动词had suffered from后面的从句是一个宾语从句。然而，that在其引导的宾语从句中并不充当任何句子成分，此句中显然缺少了主语成分。而what在其引导的宾语从句中则可以充当主语。

3. 把seriously改成serious
此行考查的是形容词和副词的区别用法。通过分析，此处显然应该用形容词serious。

4. 把receive改成accept
此行考查的是词义辨析。receive意思是“收到”，而accept意思是“接受”。分析句意可知，这个人是从不轻易地接受挫折，而不是收到挫折。

5. 把a改成an
此行考查的是不定冠词的用法。此处后面的词article显然是以元音音素开头的词，因此，用an而不用a。

6. 把on改成in
此行考查的是介词的用法。表示书报上内容要用介词in，不能用on。

7. 正确

8. with后面加the
此行考查的是定冠词的用法。在same的前面须加定冠词the。

9. 把expensive改成high
此行考查的是习惯用法。在表示某物昂贵时，用expensive，而在表示价钱、价格的昂贵时，要用high，即表示费用的高低。此处属用词不当。

10. 把could改成couldn't
此行考查的是上下文的理解。仔细研读下文，就可以发现，这个人其实付不起这笔费用，所以才琢磨这个医生能不能告诉她还有没有费用低点儿、能够付得起费用的医生。所以，此处的逻辑发生了错误。应该把could改成couldn’t才符合上下文的意思。
