(答案→)so--but
解析：文章讲述了作者买字典的事情。作者回到家后发现，字典缺了几页，而且印错的地方有很多。作者去换字典，却得到了店员的冷酷对待。
【小题1】根据“several page of the dictionary had been missing”可知，前后表示转折含义，故把so改成but。
【小题2】several修饰可数名词的复数形式，故把page改成pages。
【小题3】everywhere到处，是副词，不能加宾语，句意是：字典中到处都是错误，故在everywhere后加介词in。
【小题4】修饰动词affected，应该用副词，故把serious改成seriously。
【小题5】特指前面提到的事物，应该用定冠词the。故把a改成the。
【小题6】to one’s surprise令某人惊讶的是，one’s后加名词，故把surprised改成surprise。
【小题7】根据句首的Last week可知，文章用的是一般过去时，故把turn改成turned。
【小题8】It goes without saying that...，it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的主语从句，从句a high standard of service is needed in today’s society不缺少成分，that引导名词性从句无意义，故把what改成that。
【小题9】businessmen fail to achieve this standard商人未能达到这个标准，句子完整，故把are去掉。
【小题10】sth needs doing sth= sth needs to be done某事需要被做。故把improve改成improving。
