　　参考答案及解析:
4 \: t; I% J6 T2 i　　1.将on改为by。
　　“by the way”作“根据……方式”讲。
6 ~0 C/ G+ e2 k, p) R/ V+ n- j　　2. 将unaware改为aware
　　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”。
　　3. 将as改为than
　　“more + adj/of + n + than”是固定搭配。
　　4. 将it改为which
! j3 |6 k- d& F; |* K' x: {3 O　　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。
　　5. 将at改为in
　　名词the country前要用介词in。
　　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。
1 n# P6 c, H8 E2 }% T# N1 g8 I　　8. 将as 改为like
2 s" @7 R/ M" \, W1 U　　介词as意思为“作为”，like意思为“像”。
　　9. 将falls改为fell
& [0 M9 u" M: E/ ^　　这里要使用一般过去时。
. ~$ f3 L# H# w- l. F! c  G　　10. 将第一个of删掉。
; I# m& L; I4 B　　say作为及物动词，后面可直接跟名词作宾语。
