去掉yet。
去掉were。
3.在early前加上an。
4.将us改为ourselves。
5.将helplessly改为helpless。
6.将swimming改为swim。
7.将treat改为treated。
8.此行无错。
9.将other改为others。
10.将when改为since。
解析:
1. 此题考查词汇用法。前面已有表示“仍然,还”意思的still,再则yet表示“仍然,还”意思时,通常用于否定句。故应去掉yet。
2. 此题考查词汇用法。leave在这里表示的是“离开”的意思,根据句意,应去掉were,因为没有被动意义。
3. 此题考查冠词和名词的用法。age 是可数名词,而且前面还有形容词early,故应在early前加上an。
4. 此题考查代词用法。将us改为ourselves,by ourselves我们独自地/单独地,没有别人帮助的。
5. 此题考查并列情况。将helplessly改为形容词形式helpless,使其与lonely并列,共同作felt的表语。
6. 此题考查并列情况。将swimming改为原形swim,使其与play和go并列,共同与would一起作并列谓语。
7. 此题考查时态用法。将treat改为treated,使其与上下文中动词发生的时间及形式一致。
8. 此行无错。
9. 此题考查代词用法。根据句意,这里指的是“其他的许多人”,故应将other改为others。
10. 此题考查连词用法。It is/was/has been+一段时间+since…表示“从……已经多长时间了”,故应将when改为since。

Most people who travel from China to the US find that,despite having studied English for years,they have to “re—learn” it upon arriving.
Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here.To truly be part of the “melting pot”,fluency(流利)in English is not enough.You need an accent to stand out.
When I first came to the US for graduate school,1 was a nervous foreigner.I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”.To talk like an American became one of my goals.
During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA),my students complained(抱怨) they could not understand me.I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA.It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (情绪、举动):“Oh,no! Not another international TA,and not that accent again!’’
So I imitated(模仿)the way native speakers talk and,over time,I made such good progress that American friends started to praise my English as having “almost no accent’’.I took this as a sign of my success.Ever since.people have often mistaken me for someone from many places:the Midwest,the West Coast,China,Japan,South Korea.Most frequently,people think I am from California.
Suddenly,conformity (一致) was no longer a praise:If I talk like an American,am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent,do I also lose my cultural identity? Am I denying(否认)my past by being absorbed into(沉浸于)a new culture?
Now I realize that a person’s accent is a permanent(永久的)record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience and exposure to different cultures.
As a fourth-year student in the US,I am no longer a nervous foreigner.My nervousness has been replaced by a desire to hold on to my cultural origins.Now I consciously(有意识地)add some Chinese “accent” when I speak.I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am.
