【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了著名的动物行为学家：凯文·理查德森，他许多年和狮子生活在一起，成了狮子家庭的一员。他从不担心靠近狮子的危险。现在他就自己的经历制作了记录片：白色的狮子。

1.am reading 句意：现在，我在读一本关于凯文·理查德森的文章。由副词now可以推测出表示正在发生的动作，用现在进行时态，故填：am reading。

2.2】living句意：他是一位在动物保护区几十年和狮子住在一起的南非动物行为学家。spend some time doing sth花多长时间做某事，后跟动名词形式，故填：living。

3.3】is considered/has been considered句意：他跟狮子创立了如此深的爱和信任，以致于他被看作狮子家庭的一员。主语he是谓语动词consider的承受者，用被动语态。故填：is considered/has been considered。

4.4】worries句意：凯文从不担心靠近狮子的危险。不担心是他的习惯，表示经常性、习惯性的动作，用一般现在时态。故填：worries.

5.5】has made句意：到目前为止，他就自己的经历制作了记录片。so far表示到目前为止，强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果，用现在完成时态，故填：has made.

6.6】faced/had faced句意：他的电影《白色的狮子》，讲述了一只特别的狮子虽然面临了许多问题，但还是幸存下来的故事。表示在狮子幸存下来前发生的动作，用一般过去时强调动作，用过去完成时强调过去某时以前发生的动作或存在的状态。故填：faced/had faced。
