　　【答案】

　　1.under——upon/on.footing是“地基”的意思，一般來(lái)說(shuō)，整幢建筑物怎么可能在地基之下呢?所以，介詞under應(yīng)該改成upon或on.

　　2.with——in.in a similar way 意思是“以一種相似的方式”，way表示方式時(shí)通常和介詞in搭配。

　　3.lying——laying.lying是lie的-ing分詞，而lie的意思是“平躺”或“說(shuō)謊”，都和原文的意思及搭配不符。

　　4.affectation——affection.前者是“不自然”，后者是“感情，慈愛(ài)”。physical affection的意思是“通過(guò)身體語(yǔ)言表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的慈愛(ài)”。 5.are——were.文中的you指的是孩子的父母，已經(jīng)為人父母的人被養(yǎng)大成人的過(guò)程中應(yīng)該是在過(guò)去的時(shí)間。所以這里應(yīng)該用過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)。

　　6.need——\.“so+代動(dòng)詞do+somebody”這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)已經(jīng)替代了前面句子的謂語(yǔ)，是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞性替代，做簡(jiǎn)短反應(yīng)，這里加一個(gè)動(dòng)詞need是多余的。

　　7.the——\.be in charge 意思是“主管，控制”，這里是說(shuō)孩子們有時(shí)候試圖成為控制者。如果說(shuō)in one's charge或者in the charge of somebody，意思則是被某人看管。

　　8.Since——While/Although/Though.這里要理解主從句的邏輯關(guān)系，從句是說(shuō)小孩子也沒(méi)有意識(shí)到自己的控制欲，主句說(shuō)他實(shí)際上確實(shí)有控制欲，兩者不是因果關(guān)系，而是讓步關(guān)系。

　　9.permit^——this. permit是及物動(dòng)詞，熱切不能直接以動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語(yǔ)，必須有名詞或代詞作賓語(yǔ)，所以要加一個(gè)代詞this用于指代前文所述內(nèi)容。

　　10.the——others指“別人”，沒(méi)有數(shù)量范圍的限定;the others指“其他的人”，有數(shù)量范圍的限定。這里只是泛指“別人”，所以不應(yīng)該加定冠詞。
