　　答案和解析:

　　1. 将 no 改为 not

　　2. 将 place 改为 land place是可数名词，作“地方”讲,而land意为“土地，田地”是不可数名词。例如:

　　Solitude is a good place to visit but a poor place to stay.

　　当你偶尔光顾时，独处是一个美妙的境地，但是如果久留，它却是一个糟糕的地方。

　　There is a vacant piece of land near the house; we can build there.

　　3. 将 started 改为 start

　　start应使用不定式，以和前面的find, build一致。

　　4. 将 working 改为 work work应该用第三人称复数，和live一致。另外，family在这里作“家人”讲，是复数。

　　5. 将 anyone 改为 everyone 这里是要用everyone 指每个人，而不是要用anyone泛指。

　　6. 将 but 删除

　　7. 将 before 改为 after

　　根据上下文判断，这里要表达的是二战之后。

　　8. 将 But 改为 And 根据语意，这里要表达的是递进关系，而不是转折关系。例如：

　　When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. And that’s my religion.

　　当我行善事，我感到坦然;当我行恶时，我感到内疚。这就是我的人生之道。

　　9. 将 it 改为 they
