　　第十七篇： Error Correction (15 minutes)

　　Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, heis fed, looked after and loved, what he may do, It is --71--improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in turn. In addition, --72--life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interesting for older people because --73--they are too well-known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. [JP+2]His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains:

　　He is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks old --74--people do; he is continually being told not to do things,or being punished for that he has done wrong. --75--

　　His life is therefore ��not perfectly happy.��--76--

　　When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities.

　　He can not longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortable. If he spends most of his time playing about in --77--the way that he used to as a child, he will suffer hungry. --78-- And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, therefore, --79--he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health,he can have the great happiness of seeing himself making --80--steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society.

　　答案：

　　71.what改為whatever。whatever引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，相當(dāng)于no matter what，意思是“無(wú)論什么”，“不管什么”，whatever在從句中作賓語(yǔ)。��

　　72.turn改為return。短語(yǔ)in turn表示“輪流地; 挨個(gè), 依次; 反過(guò)來(lái)”，而在這里是指孩子對(duì)父母的回報(bào)。��

　　73.interesting改為interest。在形容詞性物主代詞their的后面應(yīng)跟名詞性成分。��

　　74.do改為 are。與前面的is相對(duì)應(yīng)。��

　　75.that改為what。that引導(dǎo)的是定語(yǔ)從句，在本句中應(yīng)該使用關(guān)系代詞what，相當(dāng)于the thing/ things that。��

　　76.not改為no。固定搭配的副詞短語(yǔ)“no longer”��

　　77.comfortable改為comfortably。修飾動(dòng)詞live應(yīng)為副詞而不是形容詞。��

　　78.suffer改為go或become或be�；虬裩ungry改為hunger。��

　　79.therefore改為however。此處的條件狀語(yǔ)從句表示轉(zhuǎn)折。��

　　80.making 改為 make。��
