Answer 1

小題1:writing
小題2:him
小題3:caught
小題4:was
小題5:life

試題分析：
小題1:本句的意思是“他很難過以至于呆在家了也不寫東西。”without后面應該跟doing結構。所以本題填writing。
小題2:根據后面的because he was such a lazy man可知，本句的意思是“他的妻子對他也不滿意。”此處應該用he的賓格。故填him。
小題3:本句的意思是“在他回家的路上，一則廣告抓住了他的眼球。”本句是過去時，所以應該填caught。
小題4:根據題干，本處應該是he was glad“他很高興”。所以本題填was。
小題5:根據題干，本句的意思是“他的家庭過上了快樂的生活。”故應該用life。
點評：完成本題時首先應該讀懂短文的意思，根據題意選對單詞，然后，應該根據句子的語法及固定用法變化所選詞的適當形式。另外還應注意上下文的關系。做此類題目比較容易犯的錯誤是不注意用詞的適當形式。
