　　答案及解析：
# ]/ W6 ^5 R( j　　1.that--who
: [/ c/ z& T; O6 E　　that从句修饰的是the average American，而且它是一个非限定性定语从句，而that无法引导一个非限定性定语从句，所以应把that改为who。
6 L( {! t" S7 z! `' J  Z　　2.adults^--who
/ e  P4 T+ l$ ]' o　　found后接的从句中主要的动词应该是said，而不是try to shed pounds，所以应该在were前面加上who构成定语从句修饰overweight adults。
　　3.expending--expenditure
, Y( u, c4 \. ?" \- P5 _4 V  J1 J　　由于caloric是形容词，表示“属于或者关于卡的”，它后面不能接动词的-ing形式，而且expending和charts的关系也不成立，所以应该改为名词expenditure。
+ h0 }7 N7 n" z5 c- b/ T6 C　　4.work^--off
$ N) i+ N' E3 V6 _5 _! H7 L　　work off有消耗之意，符合文义。
　　5.in--by(直接把in 去掉也可以吧？)
　　in itself 表示“本身，本质上”，而我们都知道锻炼是一减肥的好方法，只是不能仅靠锻炼，还需配之以适当的饮食控制，所以应该把in itself换成by itself，表示“单独”。
　　6.the(program)--/
! m3 h& o. \) k( t9 I6 t3 G# X　　在用作同位语表示独一无二的职位的名词之前，通常用零冠词。
　　7.Therefore--Still/Neverthless
　　根据上下文，这里要表达的关系是让步，不是因果。
　　8.diet--dieted
　　这里叙述的是过去的一项研究。
3 X& T- R3 L" X( z# p7 [+ W2 l　　9.assumed--assuming
　　assume和you的关系应是主动的，所以应改为assuming。
% H& C5 e% J8 p7 [　　10.takein--intake
　　take in 表示“摄入，吸收”，它的名词形式不是take in，而是 intake。
