分析 改错题要注意代词，连词以及词性、人称的转化．
做好短文改错题，可以从以下三方面去考虑：1．快速阅读短文，如抓住中心思想，从整体上对短文有个了解． 2．充分运用语言的基础知识，从句型结构、词的变化、词类选择、词的搭配、习惯用法出发，进行分析判断，尽快找出错误在何处． 3．重视整体和语境，从上下文关系中找出表达连接关系或逻辑关系的词或词组，判断是递进关系还是转折关系，是因果关系还是让步关系．

解答 During my second month of nursing school，our professor gives us a pop quiz．I was a careful 
                                                                                gave
student and had easily dealt with the questions until I read the last one："What is the first name of 
               去掉had
the woman who cleans the school？"Surely this was some kind of joke．I had seen a cleaning 
                                                                                                                 the
woman several time．She was tall，dark-haired and in her 50s，and  how could I know her name？I 
                     times                                                            but
handed out my paper，left the last question blank．Before class ended，one student asked if the
           in                leaving
last question would count toward our quiz grade．"Absolute，"said the professor．"In your careers 
                                                                      Absolutely
you∧meet many people．All are significant．They deserve their attention and care，even if all
    will                                                                            your
you do is smile and say'hello'"．I've never forgotten that lesson．I later learned her name was Dorothy．
1．give-gave  全篇回忆刚上护士学校时发生的事，所以应使用一般过去时，故把give改为gave；
2．去掉had  全篇回忆刚上护士学校时发生的事，句子中的谓语都是过去时，没有动作先后，所以不需要用过去完成时，故要删除had；
3．a-the  上文提过的清洁女工，下文再提就是特指，故不用a，应用定冠词the；
4．time-times several修饰可数名词复数，所以把time改为times，此处time意为"次数"，是可数名词；
5．and-but  She was tall，dark-haired and in her 50s与how could I know her name？存在转折而非并列关系，故应用but；
6．out-in  hand in意为"上交"而hand out意为"分发"，做完试卷应该是上交，所以把out改为in；
7．left-leaving  根据句意"我上交了试卷，留下最后一题没做"，I和leave之间是主谓关系，所以用现在分词作状语；
8．absolute-absolutely 在口语中，absolutely可作为答语，意为"当然、绝对"，而absolute为形容词，意为"绝对的、完全的"，没有这种用法；
9．you后加will  该句意为"在你的职业生涯中你会遇到许多人"，且为直接英语，由于当时作者尚在学校学习，所以该句应使用一般将来时；
10．their-your  该句意为"这些人值得你的关注"，所以把their改为your．
