　　Classic Intention MovementIn social situations, the classic Intention Movement is “the chair-grasp”. Host and guest have been talking for some time, but now the host has an appointment to keep and can get away. His urge __1__to go is held in cheek by his desire not be rude to his guest. If he did __2__not care of his guest’s feelings he would simply get up out of his chair __3__and to announce his departure. This is what his body wants to do, __4__therefore his politeness glues his body to the chair and refuses to let him __5__raise. It is at this point that he performs the chair-grasp Intention __6__Movement. He continues to talk to the guest and listen to him, but leansforward and grasps the arms of the chair as about to push himself upwards. __7__This is the first act he would make if he were rising. If he were not __8__hesitating, it would only last the fraction of the second. He would lean, __9__push, rise, and be up. But now, instead, it lasts much longer. He holds his “readiness-to-rise” post and keeps on holding it. It is as if his __10__body had frozen at the get-ready moment.
! x' z2 p+ T$ R, o答案及解析:
1. 将can改为must根据上下文的意思“主人有一个约会，必须离开”是客观要求，而不是“能不能”或者“可不可以”的问题。
' H# a2 |& i( m/ I2. not后面加todesire 后应该加动词不定式to do something。
0 C& O1 L: \9 w( L3. 将of 改为aboutcare about意思为“对…在意，在乎”，而care of 意思为“转交”
（觉得还可以直接去掉 of，care 本身也有在乎的意思，可是答案不这么写，你怎么看嘞？）4. 删掉and或者to。
$ ]) Y. d' V0 @5. 将therefore 改为 yet或but这两部分之间应是转折的关系。
6. 将raise改为riseraise 是及物动词，后面必须加宾语，而且在此与文章意思不符。rise意为“起身”，“站起来”，符合文义。
7. 在as 和 about之间加上if或者though此处的意思是主人身子往前倾，双手抓着椅子，好像就要站起来一样。as if/ though to do something 意思为“仿佛要做什么事情”。
& C( ^% `+ X- c; }' A. V5 @' T8. 将make改为perform或do此处考查搭配问题，动词make与前面的act不能搭配。
8 a; B& X! x( d1 t9 K9.将the改为aa fraction of a second 意思为非常短暂的时间。
( h" [3 S6 Z5 |6 q7 l10. 将post改为posture
