2. 检查主谓一致。
若谓语动词的时态和语态正确,要注意检查该动词在人称和数上是否一致。
3. 检查指代是否一致。

Our clothes are a thing can affect our moods. Wear colorful clothes shows and affects our feelings. When we're sadly, we will wear dark clothes. So when happy, we often choose to wear brightly-colored clothes. Our choice of color shows what we are feeling. Suppose we are felt sad, if we wear black we may begin to feel worse. However, if we wear green, red and yellow we may feel good. Orange makes us more happier, white makes we helpful, and so on. So remember, if you are not feeling your best, you can try out some clothes of different colors. If one color has not effect on your feelings, maybe another will.

March 16th is World Sleep Day. This year's slogan* is “Breathe* Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits* of good and healthy sleep.21cnjy.com
Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
But many students don't get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don't get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can't fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
These sleeping problems greatly affect* people's lives. Experts* have shown that lack* of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed*.
Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters*. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she'd said again, “it's for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional*”. But she lived “on the surface*”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive*me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded* and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
( ) 37. The writer began to love her mother's desk _______.
A. after Mother died B. before she became a writer
C. when she was a child D. when Mother gave it to her
( ) 38. The passage shows that _____.
A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C. mother cared much about her daughter in words
D. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
( ) 39. The word “gulf” in the paragraph four means ______.
A. deep understanding between the old and the young
B. different ideas between the mother and the daughter
C. free talks between mother and daughter
D. part of the sea going far in land
( ) 40. What's the best title of the passage?
A. My Letter to Mother B. Mother and Children
C. My Mother's Desk D. Talks between Mother and Me
