　　答案及解析:
6 o* K  x  ]1 {" z  r3 P7 Z　　1.like改为as
' A/ b- }5 w: X2 [$ x) i# e　　as 作为连词可以用在形容词前，和动词regard或describe搭配，表示“看作，描述成”。
# \! [2 \$ B* h　　2.what改为how
　　这里要表达的是“怎样想”，而不是“想什么”，联系前一句“how things are done around here”也可以帮助发现错误。
　　3.wide改为broad
　　wide和broad容易错用。表示宽度时既可用broad，wide，wide更常用，如：a wide river；a broad river。但是表示具体的物件时只用wide，如 a wide bed，一般不说 a broad bed。 表示生理，概念或范围时，要用broad，如：a broad smile、broad shoulders、a broad meaning。
　　4.include 改为includes
; y' W) d8 _8 j3 Y3 [5 ?2 z　　include 的主语是主句主语 corporate culture，所以应该是第三人称的单数形式。
　　5.去掉to
　　address解释为“对某人说话”时是及物动词，无需加介词。
　　6.after改为until
' j0 W$ V& E# S+ S1 }　　根据上下文的逻辑，文章是说，只有当求职者真正在公司工作了几个月后，才能了解它的文化。
　　7.去掉the
7 D# E4 p) x: }3 i  _: y0 L; ]　　前文没有提及，这里research是类指，而非特指。
　　8.on改为in
　　这里的介词并不是和动词spend搭配，而是和名词词组work environment一起作状语。
　　9.去掉for
　　fit作为动词时，如果是及物动词，可以说fit something/somewhere。如果作为形容词，可以说 be fit for something，但是没有fit for 的用法。
! w1 t/ b" n$ ?5 F) K5 }) ?　　10.voice前面a
4 @9 n1 h: V# H( U/ W0 [. o　　have a voice in something 的意思是“有权利对某事发表看法”。这个词组中的不定冠词不能省略。
