　　答案和解析:
3 J1 M6 y! T) o- a5 j  z　　1.so--because
　　第一句话里两个分句之间的关系应该是主句为结果，从句为原因，所以so改为because。
　　2.as--like
0 J+ y# Q. k+ ?, h4 V9 ~　　当as做介词使用时往往表示“作为，当作”，而这里的意思是“像……”，所以应改为like，因为当like作介词用时，表示“像……”。
3 A  n% X0 R% n) _　　3.tired--tiring
( e8 k+ m0 E$ e. _/ q" t' m　　tired形容人，表示“累了”，如果说某物使人累，应用tiring。
　　4.too--to
　　这里amount应和介词to组成词组表示“达到（多少）”，如：That plan will never amount to anything.
　　5.liberal--liberating
　　liberal的含义是“自由的，解放的，大方的”，含义不贴切，应换成liberating，意思是“将（某人）解放了的”。
$ K( D2 [% c& N" c　　6.Nevertheless--Similary/Likewise
　　这里上下句的关系式并列的，平行的，不能用nevertheless引导，应换成Similarly或者Likewise。
8 x/ Y: Y# ]7 M7 A6 Q: o! M9 y　　7.to--with
3 ~: a1 d$ j* ~; F8 l( [; x1 \　　compare...to...的意思是“将……比作……”，有比喻的含义，人这里是“把……和……相比较”。
　　8.complex--complicated
5 E9 {( E' r# i5 \+ J; _9 M　　complex的意思是“（由于有许多关联部分组成，所以某结构）很复杂”。
　　9.any--no
　　由于后面有but，所以这里应把any换成no，表示“无论如何不能……”。
8 D( V7 _8 U4 e6 z5 U: U　　10.^emphasize--and; emphasize--emphasizing
　　emphasize分句和foster分句如果是并列的话，应该加上一个连词，不能仅用逗号连接，或者把emphasize变成-ing形式构成分句修饰foster分句。
