　　答案及解析:
7 D8 o* ^4 O' Y　　1.like改为as
- ?8 G/ l4 F% S3 F　　as 作为连词可以用在形容词前，和动词regard或describe搭配，表示“看作，描述成”。
1 x) h# V/ u- v2 T$ g8 f　　2.what改为how
　　这里要表达的是“怎样想”，而不是“想什么”，联系前一句“how things are done around here”也可以帮助发现错误。
　　3.wide改为broad
　　wide和broad容易错用。表示宽度时既可用broad，wide，wide更常用，如：a wide river；a broad river。但是表示具体的物件时只用wide，如 a wide bed，一般不说 a broad bed。 表示生理，概念或范围时，要用broad，如：a broad smile、broad shoulders、a broad meaning。
! D2 Y, J4 f" h- ]3 y+ D　　4.include 改为includes
. R! m0 |9 ?) h　　include 的主语是主句主语 corporate culture，所以应该是第三人称的单数形式。
/ Y+ {  p* r: Y# Q/ A2 G1 ?; a　　5.去掉to
　　address解释为“对某人说话”时是及物动词，无需加介词。
　　6.after改为until
  N, i: m- \% w- r& C; ~' l& R　　根据上下文的逻辑，文章是说，只有当求职者真正在公司工作了几个月后，才能了解它的文化。
  |% d% p$ _  Q% h　　7.去掉the
7 p2 ]) k$ p( C5 y; h2 z9 ^* A　　前文没有提及，这里research是类指，而非特指。
2 `# e+ H; G, W6 S5 u/ k　　8.on改为in
0 W9 k4 N. |) H2 X* q3 i　　这里的介词并不是和动词spend搭配，而是和名词词组work environment一起作状语。
　　9.去掉for
" y' n( h  W1 q% m　　fit作为动词时，如果是及物动词，可以说fit something/somewhere。如果作为形容词，可以说 be fit for something，但是没有fit for 的用法。
* J( @6 ^$ J  j! I4 m1 X  ?　　10.voice前面a
9 s( V( d7 J' {7 \' {　　have a voice in something 的意思是“有权利对某事发表看法”。这个词组中的不定冠词不能省略。
