题目内容
I hear __________ boys in your school like playing football in their spare time, though others prefer basketball.
A. quite a lot B. quite a few C. quite a bit &n mso-bsp; D. quite a little
B。
解析:
由于boys为复数可数名词，所以用a few修饰; 若用a lot，则应改为a lot of。注意：quite a few的意思是“相当多”“不少”，不是“相当少”，如：Quite a few people came to the lecture. 有相当多的人来听讲。We drank quite a lot of wine. 我们喝了不少葡萄酒。
以下是某个英语杂志有关专家对一些读者反映问题的建议：
A. Feel Grateful!
| You say you’re thankful, but then dismiss your mom’s investment as an “obligation”. By today’s economic standards, what she did is virtually miraculous. Tell your mom plainly, over and over again, how grateful you are. I’m sure the complaining will begin to fade. |
B. Tame the beast!
| When one boy discovers his inner caveman, he likes to initiate others into the tribe. Don’t over-worry. Boys will be boys. You and your husband should meet the boy’s parents down the street, suggesting a plan to either tame the wild beasts or limit their time together. |
C. Good effort and goodwill makes it!
| Maybe there was a reason why your buddy was out of work. He’s taking advantage of you and your employer. Remind him how to act on the job. He owes good effort and goodwill if he accepts the pay. Tell him to be quiet or get away. |
D. Calm down!
| Fast vehicles and wild people---sounds like adolescent dreams to me. As some men age, they compensate with bigger, faster toys. But he’s putting you at risk and breaking the law. In a calm moment outside the car, tell him that he is scaring you. Suggest he join a car club, one that promotes safe driving. |
E. Move your line away!
| You say you’re “in the middle”, but I’d say you’re dangerously close to slipping off the edge. There are lots of fish in the sea; why drop your line in waters your friend is still fishing? |
F. Speak out and breathe easily together!
| You are rebuilding a relationship with new trust and affection. If there’s a bad odor left from the old day, you need to clear the air. Mention the problem, and say, “I’m sorry for my part in that argument.” I’ll bet she’ll say the same. |
