　　参考答案及解析:
　　1.在which前加in，或将which改为where
　　在这里which引导限制性从句，修饰先行词the society。in which 在从句中作状语，当然也可以用关系副词where引导定语从句，并在从句中作状语，例如：
　　Money is a bottomless sea, in which honor, conscience, and truth may be drowned.
$ ^! b0 D$ ]" n: @' E　　2.将as 改为than
! i/ A+ g3 u& n　　3.将So改为But或者However或者Nevertheless。
　　因为这里上下文是转折关系。
　　4.将about去掉
7 ^9 O/ e: U& `/ p! w2 N, x　　因为explain是及物动词。
/ o& C% W* l* i2 N" @/ b　　5.将you改为they
　　6.将like改为as
　　因为such as 是固定搭配。
　　7.将takes改为gives
6 R5 H4 s6 @& S# W5 [　　give rise to表示“引起，导致”之意。
: Q  Y+ d- `) e　　8.将differ改为 distinguish
9 Z3 X  M1 p1 [! u0 D　　牵着表示“有区别”。后者表示“区分，找出……的差别。
& _  g2 n6 F, d& K　　9.将others改为other
　　这样the other就和上文的one构成固定搭配，表示在两个中“一个……；另外一个……”
) Q0 i  B# ~% c: F: ?0 H# v　　10.将harmful改为harmless，只有这样才可以表达上下文的对比关系。
