　　參考答案及解析：

　　1.把for改為of。與fear搭配的介詞通常是of，表示對…的恐懼。

　　2.在no matter后面加上how

　　3.在studied前面加上has。本文的基調(diào)是一般現(xiàn)在時，此句的主語也是現(xiàn)在時，定語從句介紹Roberts做過的研究項目，所以用現(xiàn)在完成時比較合適。

　　4.把associations改為associates。本句的意思是：一項對高齡心臟病人的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，有兩個或者兩個以上親密伙伴陪同的病人在一年危險期的幸存幾率是完全無人陪伴的病人的兩倍。

　　5.在poison前面加上a。不定冠詞修飾不可數(shù)名詞，該名詞后面再加上定語成分對該詞進(jìn)一步說明。

　　6.刪除been

　　7.把sure改為surely

　　8.把but改為and。本句與上一段最后一句在結(jié)構(gòu)(just as)上相似，在意義上是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，不應(yīng)該用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞銜接，用and合適。

　　9.把his改為their。此處的代詞應(yīng)該代替the oldest old， the oldest old 表示一類人可以用單數(shù)也可以用復(fù)數(shù)，但是下文提到這些年事極高的老人都用了復(fù)數(shù)，所以此處也要改為復(fù)數(shù)，使上下文一致。

　　10.把in改為at。詞組at every turn意思為“時時，經(jīng)常”。
