　　He can not longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortable. If he spends most of his time playing about in __7__ the way that he used to as a child, he will suffer hungry. __8__ And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, therefore, __9__ he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health,he can have the great happiness of seeing himself making __10__ steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society.

　　答案：

　　1.what改为whatever。whatever引导让步状语从句，相当于no matter what，意思是“无论什么”，“不管什么”，whatever在从句中作宾语。

　　2.turn改为return。短语in turn表示“轮流地; 挨个, 依次; 反过来”，而在这里是指孩子对父母的回报。

　　3.interesting改为interest。在形容词性物主代词their的后面应跟名词性成分。

　　4.第一个do改为 are。与前面的is相对应。

　　5.that改为what。that引导的'是定语从句，在本句中应该使用关系代词what，相当于the thing/ things that。

　　6.not改为no。固定搭配的副词短语“no longer”

　　7.comfortable改为comfortably。修饰动词live应为副词而不是形容词。

　　8.suffer改为go或become或be。或把hungry改为hunger。

　　9.therefore改为however。此处的条件状语从句表示转折。

　　10.making 改为 make。
