. l' R& B3 S- h# Z　　参考答案及解析:
　　1.将on改为by。
　　“by the way”作“根据……方式”讲。
9 }& |) U, I( c6 A6 A- T* S$ E8 J) D　　2. 将unaware改为aware
5 i* n4 ?4 b7 Z6 z& a) a( P　　根据下文中的“Such a person never bump into other people”判断，这种人不会“目中无人”。
) z: z; f# k* A2 `% Y3 s2 p/ Q　　3. 将as改为than
3 e" e7 D' V& V/ g; k7 ~　　“more + adj/of + n + than”是固定搭配。
　　4. 将it改为which
　　which在此引导一个非限制性定语从句，which在从句中作主语，需要注意的是，在从句中he said是插入语。
8 }% L2 ~. T" {# z0 |, H8 q( k　　5. 将at改为in
* Z9 ?& y+ Z; v+ @　　名词the country前要用介词in。
8 a$ ?& v# c+ N, @" a; P　　6. 将hasn’t改为hadn’t
　　根据上下文我们可以看出这里需要使用过去完成时。
　　7. 将American改为Arab。根据上文，我们可以看出，这里讲述的是赴“阿拉伯”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事，而不是赴“美国”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事。
' b9 P3 E, M$ u, M6 p2 R　　8. 将as 改为like
0 H" W7 G2 p4 \　　介词as意思为“作为”，like意思为“像”。
　　9. 将falls改为fell
　　这里要使用一般过去时。
* l* ?) T# a" p" M4 [9 ]6 N* E　　10. 将第一个of删掉。
; {5 |! R* W/ Z! i  n　　say作为及物动词，后面可直接跟名词作宾语。
