　　参考答案：
　　1.since改为because或者for
* y+ V  J( F2 B. }! ?, U8 n　　当since表示原因时，它往往出现在句子的开头而非中间。
　　2.And改为But
　　从与上一段的关系看来，这里是转折而不是承接。
　　3.fashionable改为fashion
4 f9 j' K4 p" {# j9 {: L　　fashionable是形容词表示“时尚的，时髦的”，而这里所指的是“时尚产业”，所以应该用它的名词形式。
　　4.woman前加上a或者woman改为women
　　可数名词单数形式前面必须加冠词，因此这里须加上a，或者将woman变成服侍形式表类指。
9 B4 q! J0 |* V3 H% }# {　　5.sophisticating改为sophisticated
) w1 U, f( V, J, g+ P0 J  k　　6.on改为in
　　succeed 与介词in连用，后面加动词ing形式。如：
! m& m) K( t* ]) v7 L5 K　　We have already succeeded in working out ground rules with the Department of Defense.
　　7.of 改为from
6 i5 w) Q$ O* }) A* P' ~　　save sb from doing sth 表示“避免某人做某事”。
　　8.know改为knows
0 p6 [) A& ]. }/ X4 }: X* H3 v　　主语和谓语在形式上须一致，anyone在语义上表达的是单数含义。
　　9.on改为in
　　英语表示穿戴往往用介词in。
　　10.needs改为need
3 ^; t, T- k8 A) P) u: _" ^　　尽管need前用了all来限定，但need所指的是“叫来草坪护理专家”这单一的含义，因此应该用单数，all在这里只是起到强调的作用。
