【答案】
【小题1】have→has
【小题2】weren’t→wasn’t
【小题3】works→work
【小题4】are→is
【小题5】has→have
【解析】
【小题1】主语是furniture，furniture是不可数名词，故谓语动词要用单数形式，故把have改为has。
【小题2】主语是news，是不可数名词，故谓语动词要用单数形式，故把were改为was。
【小题3】who works in this company是定语从句，先行词是people，people表示复数意义，根据定语从句中谓语动词的单复数与先行词保持一致，故要把works改为work。
【小题4】主语是The airport custodial staff，staff是集体名词，根据句意，如果不加薪就要罢工，是全体罢工，是把所有职员看成一个整体，故staff在这里是单数意义，故要把are改为is。
【小题5】police表示复数意义，虽然没有单数形式，但谓语动词要用复数。
