网友回答
(答案→)trains→ train
解析：
试题分析:每天早晨约翰都会坐火车去上班，他每次都是买一张报纸为了消磨时间。但是一天，他在报上读到了一条重要球赛的报道，报道是如此的精彩而他竟然忘了下车，当他意识到的时候火车已经过了好几站了，于是他上班迟到了。
【小题1】trains→ train。 Every morning John goes to work by trains.固定短语：by train“乘火车”，所以把trains改为train。
【小题2】buy → buys。He always buy a newspaper,本句是讲述他的一贯做法，用一般现在时，根据主谓一致的原则，应该把buy改为buys。
【小题3】it 前加and或把it改为which。 it helps to make the time pass more quickly.根据结构可知此处两个句子中间缺少连词，否则就是定语从句，所以在it前加and，或者把it改为which。
【小题4】on → to。 he turned on the sports page.此处表达的意思是翻到报纸的体育版面，故应该用turn to “翻到”，把on改为to。
【小题5】such → so。The report was such interesting that he forgot to get off at his station. 本句是结果状语从句，从句中修饰形容词interesting应该用so。
【小题6】when→until。He didn’t know it when he saw the sea.此处为not….until句型，指直到他看到大海他才意识到自己坐过站了，把when改为until。
【小题7】wait 后加 a。and had to wait long time for a train to go back。固定短语：“很长时间”应该是 a long time ，故在wait后加a。
【小题8】lately → late。and had to wait long time for a train to go back。lately意思是“最近，近来”，而此处指“迟到，晚”，应该用late，把lately改为late。
【小题9】were→ was。His boss were very angry。根据主谓一致的原则可知，此处用单数谓语动词，答案是把were改为was。
【小题10】much→ more。“Work is much important than football!”根据than判断此处是比较级，而much只是用来修饰比较级，所以把much改为more。
