　　One of our main arguments is that we in Western countries actually have part to play in causing the __1__ problems of the Third World. Many Third World　countries are saddle with immense debt burdens, for __2__ example. They were lent money with low interest rates __3__ in the 1970s, when money flooded into Western banks from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the Third World. The interest rates have then been risen __4__ dramatically. So you have a situation where a country in many cases can’t even repay the interest, letting alone __5__ the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example from what I have come across is a country in West Africa where the consumption, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts, if they are imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. __6__ The peanut is a major source of protein in this country.So you have people go hungry as a result of that. __7__ The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United States to feed our cattle. Those cattle then produced a surplus of milk which we do not know what to do with.We have enough milk, more milk than we can cope with in the Western World. And also that milk __8__ was transformed into dried milk powder and then taken back to this country to help feed children who were  suffering from malnutrition. So that’s the kind of insanely __9__ economic relationship that we have got ourselves in __10__ the Third World.
: i5 B+ e$ [  F　　答案：
　　1.在part前加上a。词组have a part to play in…的意思是“有份儿”
3 w5 f1 W. E& {5 q  _5 o! l　　2.saddle改为saddled。此处为被动语态，应该把动词变为过去分词形式。
　　3.把with改为at。此处介词与interest rates搭配。
- c- \2 b! o  g　　4.删除been（这里应该是把risen改为rising，答案应该错了）。rise是不及物动词，不用于被动语态。
1 v% y- h; _. k$ {* i, K　　5.把letting改为let。let alone 意思为“更不用提”。
　　6.把imported改为exported。下文说花生可以带来外汇收益，出口才会带来外汇，所以此处应用exported。
　　7.把have改为had。上文提到该国禁止本国消费花生这件事用的是过去时。
　　8.把also改为so。必须把与此相关的几个句子联系在一起理解，上文说：花生出口到英国和美国去喂了牛，而牛又产出了过剩的牛奶，我们不知道怎么处理这些牛奶。在西方世界，我们的牛奶够多了，多得无法处理。本句说：这些牛奶就被制成奶粉拿到该国去喂养那些营养不良的儿童。由此可见本句与上文是因果关系，不能用also来连接。
　　9.insanely改为insane。此处表达“荒唐的经济关系”insane修饰的是relationship，而非economic，因此要用形容词代替。
　　10.把in改为into。词组get in 虽然也可以表达“ 进入，陷入”，但是in为副词，后面不能跟地点，所以应该改为into
