分析 本文主要讲述作者的丈夫对家中的清洁女式总是抱怨，最终，在作者的劝说下，给她加了薪，这让她非常吃惊．
解答 61．since 考查连词．主句为"it is （has been）+一段时间"时，since引导的从句通常为一般过去时．
62．times 考查名词．此处time意为"次，回"，是可数名词，前面有several修饰时要用复数形式．
63．satisfaction 考查名词．my是形容词性物主代词，后接名词，动词satisfy的名词是satisfaction．
64．had done 考查动词时态．根据句中before，要用现在完成时态．
65．a 考查冠词．job是可数名词，其前加不定冠词a表示泛指．
66．saying 考查现在分词．I与say之间是主谓关系，用现在分词作状语．
67．paid 考查过去分词．she与pay之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态．
68．finally 考查副词．修饰句子要用副词，形容词final的副词是finally．
69．which 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子，在从句中作主语，用关系代词which．
70．between 考查介词．between的基本意思是"在…之间"，一般说，between指两者之间，其宾语可以是有具体数目的人或物，也可以是用and连接的两个具体的人或物．
