Susan’s family was terrible poor. One Christmas Eve, Susan’s father saw that Susan had used piece of gold wrapping paper to decorate a shoe-box, where is so precious to their family, and she put it under the Christmas tree. The next morning, Susan takes the box to her dad and said, “This is for you, dad!” But if he opened it, he found it was empty. “Why do you give me an empty boxes? Don’t you know the gold wrapping paper is such expensive to us?” Her dad said angrily. Susan cried, said, “Dad, it isn’t empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all foil.” Hearing of this, the dad felt regretful, he held Susan in his arms but said “Sorry, my dear, I love you!”.

Answer

1. terrible→terribly 2. piece前加a 3. where→which 4. takes→took 5. if→when 6. boxes→box 7. such→so 8. said→said或在said前加and 9. of去掉 10. but→and

【解析】第一处：修饰形容词用副词，故把terrible改为terribly。

第二处：根据语境可知，此处表示Susan用一张包装纸装饰盒子。a piece of paper一张纸，故在piece前加a。

第三处：此处为非限定性定语从句，从句缺主语，先行词是a shoe-box，指物，用关系代词which。

第四处：根据文章的时态可以判定用一般过去时，故把takes改为took。

第五处：根据语境可知，此处表达当他打开盒子时，连接词用when表示“当……时”，故把if改为when。

第六处：句意：你为什么给我一个空盒子？一个盒子用单数。

第七处：修饰形容词expensive要用so，不能用such，such修饰名词。

第八处：Susan cried，有谓语，无连词，所以可以加连词，表并列动作，也可以变成非谓语。

第九处：hear是及物动词，表示“听到……”用hear就可以，不用加of。

第十处：他抱住Susan说对不起，是并列关系，不是转折关系。
