　　参考答案及解析:
# T) y- p) J  t: Y% O. u　　1.把saving改为savings
1 b: H4 l7 J7 m5 }+ d2 c6 B7 r　　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。
2 k% q( M; q0 K8 y* f" ~( P# B　　3.把what改为which或者that
: g( R' o! u6 J6 @% Q0 V1 P% N5 W　　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。
! I( b$ N8 S1 n$ v0 ~　　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。
0 ^4 x2 A3 B& c  _  Z　　5.在which前面加上at
, d: Z, e  ]+ K　　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。
" @( {" T9 x1 t. [! D2 P2 Q) X, a　　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。
0 `  ^, @4 N7 a1 Y) Z　　8.把hard改为harder
- [. F1 t/ J9 J! z　　这里存在一个隐含的比较，所以应该用hard的比较级形式。
$ |& z2 Z6 ^. S, \7 U: H2 `8 f$ x　　9.删除more，或者把more改为much
( A: {+ f( y) }　　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。
" q) d5 ~" K) Y/ [5 t1 o) {　　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。
+ L. }1 C* p* P" X　　A large amount of damage ＜has been＞done by the earth quake．
  U9 U9 O& h3 D$ p3 v　　Large amounts of money ＜were＞spent on the bridge．
' E- b( e, G" x　　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
