There’s a old man in our village calling Old Joe, who is said to be 110 years old. I don’t know whether it is true because of he doesn’t have a birth certificate. All his personal papers are destroyed during World WarⅡ. Sometimes I doubt if he is really that old, and it doesn’t matter. He certainly looks very old, and of course, he is often asked question by people who want to know the secret of long life. Old Joe always answers them like this, “If you offered a cigarette, never accept it; if you are annoyed by someone, never lose his temper; and if you are asked foolishly questions, never answer it!”

 

Answer 1

【答案】

 a 改成an

 calling改成called

 去掉 of

 are改成were

 and改成but

 question改成  questions

 you后面加 are

 his改成your

 foolishly改成foolish

 it改成them

【解析】

试题分析：

 a 改成an（old是元音发音，故用an）

 calling改成called(这个人被成为Old Joe)

 去掉 of(because后面接句子表示原因)

 are改成were（本句是过去时）

 and改成but（上下文之间是转折关系）

 question改成  questions(人们应该问多个问题)

 you后面加 are（本句是被动语态，你被给香烟）

 his改成your（主语是you）

 foolishly改成foolish(用形容词修饰后面的名称question)

 it改成them（指代questions,用复数形式）
