　　参考答案及解析:
　　1.把saving改为savings
　　saving表示“节约的”，和其复数形式savings意义不同。savings的意思是“存款，储蓄”。
　　2.在small前面加上a
　　a small amount of 表示“少量的”，冠词不可缺。
　　3.把what改为which或者that
　　amount在此是先行词，后面是一个定语从句，这个从句显然应该由关系代词that或者which引导。
　　4.在hold前面加who
　　先行词people后面是一个定语从句，因此需要有引导词。
　　5.在which前面加上at
　　关系代词which在此引导的同样是一个定语从句，并且在此应该用“介词＋关系代词”这个形式，因为前面的rate往往用于短语at a rate，此处的介词可以提前。
　　6.把facial改为face
　　票面价值应是：face value。
　　7.把Therefore改为However。
　　此处根据上下文来看，表达的是转折的含义，而不是因果关系。
　　8.把hard改为harder
　　这里存在一个隐含的比较，所以应该用hard的比较级形式。
　　9.删除more，或者把more改为much
　　riskier本身已经是比较形式了，再加上more是多余的。把more改为much，表示一种程度也可以。
　　10.把we改为you</p>　　补充：
　　第二题将amount改为amounts也是正确的
　　第四题把hold改为holding也是正确的
　　a small amount of 和small amounts of 用法的区别
　　a large（great，good）amount of ＋不可数名词，谓语动词一般用单数；但（large，great，good）amounts of ＋不可数名词，作主语时，谓语动词要用复数。
　　A large amount of damage ＜has been＞done by the earth quake．
　　Large amounts of money ＜were＞spent on the bridge．
　　这就是为什么第二题也可以把amount改为amounts而第八题不用改amount的原因啦
