短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。
I was shopping at the local supermarket which I selected some eggs and a package of bacon. As I put the items in the front of the cashier, a drunken man stand behind me watched. While the cashier is packing up the things, the drunken man calm stated, “You must be single.” I was a bit surprised so I indeed didn’t have a boyfriend. I looked at the things I bought and saw something particularly unusual that could have indicated my personal situation. I became extremely curious and said, “What did you know that?” A drunken man replied, “Because you’re ugly.” I became speechless. How stupid was to question a drunken man!

答案

小题1:which →where
小题2:in the front→去掉the
小题3:stand→standing
小题4:is→was
小题5:calm→calmly
小题6:so→because
小题7:something →nothing
小题8:What→How
小题9:A→The
小题10:How stupid∧ was→I

解析

试题分析：本文叙述了作者去超市买东西，在付款时遇到了一个醉汉，他给作者说作者是单身，作者感到奇怪，买的东西看不出自己是单身，于是她就问醉汉为什么，他说因为她很丑。最后作者认为自己是多么傻呀问醉汉这样的问题。
小题1:考查定语从句。这里是定语从句，先行词是supermarket ，where在从句中作状语，不缺主语和宾语，故不能用which而用where.
小题2:考查介词短语。in the front of表示在某物内部的前面；in front of sb表示在某人的前面,故去掉the.
小题3:考查非谓语动词。因为整个句子有谓语动词watched ，这里a drunken man 与stand之间是主动关系，故用standing…来作定语。
小题4:考查动词。根据从句stated的时态，用的是过去式，从句的动作也是发生在过去，故用was.
小题5:考查副词。calm是形容词；calmly是副词，来修饰动词。
小题6:考查连词。so表示前因后果；because表示后为原因。
小题7:考查代词。something表示某事；nothing表示没有事。根据句意应用nothing.
小题8:考查疑问词。what在句中一般作主语或宾语，而这里不缺主语或宾语，how可以作状语，故用how.
小题9:考查冠词。a表示泛指；the表示特指，这里再次提到的醉汉，是特指。
小题10:考查感叹句。感叹句的结构是How+形容词+主语+谓语+其他。这里缺少主语，根据上下文可知应是I.
点评：文中考查了非谓语动词，形容词、副词、代词及动词等的用法及意义，需要考生有扎实的基础知识。需要会分析复杂的句子结构进而判断用改词的什么形式。还要求考生必须能够正确理解短文的意思，注意上下文的语境。

Five steps to better handwriting
Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it’s time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them?   1  Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier.   2  Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index (食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡).   3  Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure (压力)
4  That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don’t hold the pencil too tightly.
5
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pen better.

A．Play games

B．Ask for more advice

C．So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”.

D．You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.

E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

An allowance（零花钱）is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decision. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.
How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not a right amount. Actually amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.
To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work out a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures(花费) such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these bills,” Says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”
Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peer’s can feel left out.
It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten, her

mother gave her $1, 75% of which for bus fare and lunch. “If you lose your money,” Brooke’s mother told her, “you walk home.”

One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. “Mom made me walk home.” recalled Stephens, now a financial planner. “ At first I was angry, but I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”

Experts advise that an allowance not be tied directly to child’s daily chores（日常家务）.

Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home that can develop his or her initiative.

Children are great. However, being a parent to a child can be very challenging. In your child’s preschool years he is sure to test you to see what he can and can’t get away with. Ensuring your child behaves himself is easier said than done. But you can minimize(最小化)frustrations and enjoy every moment you have with your child by the following.
Spend quality time with your child. Try putting off some work to spend time with your child. Play with him or read him a book. By spending quality time with him every day you are letting your child know that you are concerned about him.
State your rules in black and white. At first, it may be tough for you to carry them out just because of your child’s too much crying, and you have to give in to him at times. But in the long term, by sticking to your rules, you are letting your child know what behaviour you will and will not bear.
Punishment should be avoided if possible. It will deeply affect your child’s physical and mental health. It you want to correct his mis behavior, do it in a friendly way.
You children copy their parents’ behavior. If you are trying to teach your child to always be kind to others, your behavior needs to suggest that. By being on your best behavior in front of your child you will set a wonderful example to him. Your child will only be this age once. Allow your child to make his own decisions. Let him make mistakes sometimes so he will learn to be more responsible for his actions.
Another thing that you have to remember is to let your child understand that his actions always affect other people and his misbehavior is not the solution to his problem.
By following those above, you are on your way to having a well-behaved child and getting along well with him.

Title: How to raise 1._______
I. Difficulty
