【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者的一个小邻居John由于父母忙于工作没时间做饭，经常去吃快餐，导致体重超标。作者的妈妈多次告诉他们快餐吃多了有害健康，但他们不听，最近一次体检后医生警告John不能再吃快餐了，他妈妈才意识到犯了一个大错误。

1.考查定语从句。本句中主句为John liked fast food very much，故此处lived next door to me要处理成定语从句修饰先行词boy，且先行词在从句中作主语，指人，故应用关系代词who。故boy后添加who。

2.考查形容词。修饰后文不可数名词time应用little，few用于修饰可数名词。故few改为 little。

3.考查介词。句意：所以他们经常带他去吃快餐。表示“带某人做某事”短语为take sb. to do sth.。故eat前添加to。

4.考查连接词。句意：那就是约翰超重的原因。结合句意表示“……的原因”句型为that is why…，后跟结果；that is because…表示“那是因为……”，后跟原因。故 because改为why。

5.考查副词。句意：我的母亲总是告诉他的父母这么多快餐是有害的，但他们忽略了我母亲的建议。此处修饰后文fast food应用短语too much，表示“太多”。故so改为too。

6.考查连词。句意同上。结合语境可知前后文为转折关系，应用连词but。故and改为but。

7.考查副词。修饰后文整个句子应用副词recently，表示“最近”。故Recent改为Recently。

8.考查句意理解。句意：最近，医生警告他不要再吃快餐后，可怜的男孩体检。表示“警告某人不要做某事”短语为warn sb. not to do sth.，已经表示否定，不再需要副词never。故去掉never。

9.考查副词。修饰后文名词mistake应用形容词terrible，表示“可怕的”。故terribly改为terrible。

10.考查介词。句意：现在约翰的妈妈经常来问我妈妈关于如何做健康食品的建议。结合句意表示“……方面的建议”短语为advice on。故in改为on。
