0 z& c# [0 p3 e* f) O- ~0 \本句的主语the modern footballer也就是view的逻辑主语，两者之间为被动关系。
% j8 x. H5 N7 a" p2. inaccurate -%26gt; accurate
) p2 g* ^, B* @/ j+ l根据上下文，显然inaccurate使句意前后矛盾，若目标不正确，就不可能score a goal。故应该把inaccurate改为accurate。
3. enjoys前加he
这是由一个条件状语从句引导的复合句。但主句只有谓语动词enjoys，缺少主语，因此要步上主语。根据从句的his aim可推断应该加上主语he。

even if 表示“即使”，后接分句。本句的大意是说压力让人们发生了变化，一是生活方式，二是身体。此处只能用even“甚至”来引导their bodies，表示递进。

% Q2 A6 V$ H: B- Bthis immensely long formative period of hunting for food是名词短语，when 后面不能接名词及其短语作时间状语，故when使用不当，根据句子的意思应该改为after。
