　　Middle age has its compensations. Youth is bound hand and foot with the shackles of public opinion. Middle age enjoys freedom.I remember that when i left the school i said to myself: __1__"Hence forward. I can get up when i like and go to bed when i like." That of course was an exaggeration, and i soon found that whenever you have an aim you must sacrifice something of freedom to achieve it. But by the time you have reached middle age you discovered how __2__much freedom it was worth to sacrifice in order to achieve any aim that __3__you have on view. When i was a boy i was tortured by shyness, __4__and middle age has to a great extent brought me a relief of this. I __5__have now no such feeling and i save myself much discomfort. I always hated cold water, but for many years i bath in cold seas because __6__i wanted to be like everybody. __7__It was until quite late in life that i discovered how easy it was __8__to say:"i don't know." i find with middle age no one expects me to walk twenty-five miles, or to play a scratch game of golf, or to dive from a height of thirty feet. This is all to the good and makes life pleasant, but i should no longer care if they do. That is what makes __9__youth unhappy, the vehement anxiety to be like other people, and that is what makes middle age intolerable, the reconciliation with __10__oneself.

　　答案及解析:

　　1.去掉the

　　to leave school 表示“毕业，离开学校”，当中不能加定冠词，否则就表示离开特点的一所学校。

　　2.^discovered--have

　　由by引导的时间状语从句主语一般都用完成体，所以这里应在discovered前加上have。

　　3.worth--worthwhile

　　这句话如果用正常的语序说应该是：it is worth to sacrifice how much freedom in order to achieve any aim……这样看显然worth的用法是错的，应改为worthwhile，原句的意思是：但是当你步入中年时便会发现，为了实现一个目标值得你牺牲多少自由……。

　　4.on--in

　　应该是have something in view表示“看得见……”，所以应改为in view，而不是on view。

　　5.of--from

　　如果名词relief表示“从……得以解脱”时，要用介词from而不是of，如：to seek/find/provide relief from the heat/cold/pain/noise。

　　6.bath--bathed

　　bath是名词，而在这里需要一个动词，bathe是动词，所以应改为bathed。

　　7.everybody^--else

　　everybody就已经包括了说话人自己，所以这里应改为everybody else。

　　8.^until--not

　　中文里的“直到……才……”在英文里就要加上not，变成“not until...that...”，所以要在原文until签名加上not。

　　9.do--did

　　句子i should no longer care if they do用的是虚拟语气，是对现实的不真实的假设，所以用if从句后加did。
