    答案:
    1.將creating改為create
    help 后面一般接(to)do sth
    2.將it改為them
    Spend的賓語實際上是rising wages,為復(fù)數(shù),所以應(yīng)該用代詞them。
    3.Detroit前加a
    Shop是可數(shù)名詞,所以前面要有限定詞。
    4.將live改為lived
    講述的是福特16歲的時候的事情。
    5.將of 改為for
    The reason for…是 固定搭配,表示……的原因。
    6.將unless改為if
    通過邏輯分析,句子意思是,如果他們能在福特的工廠工作,他們就能買得起他的汽車—這是一個良性循環(huán)。
    7.將have改為had
    “到1927年截止”,這里必須是用過去完成時。
    8.將第二個to改為than
    這是一個“more…than”的結(jié)構(gòu)。意思是“沒有人比愛迪生給福特的激勵更大”。
    9.將turning改為turn,或者在turning后加上point
    10.powering改為powered
    power 作為動詞,意思是“給……提供動力”,所以這里應(yīng)該用被動的過去分詞。
