    【答案】
    1. excited—exciting:兩者都為形容詞,但意義上有區(qū)別:excited意為“興奮的,激動的,活躍的”,常常表示一種狀態(tài)。exciting意為“令人鼓舞的,令人興奮的”,表示一種性質。此處修飾job,表示job的性質,故用exciting.
    2. 在them和on之前加上over:根據(jù)上下文打的電話,然后邀請他們過來打牌
    3. those—that:代詞,指代career
    4. Since—While/Although/Though等,讓步關系
    5. five—four: 根據(jù)上下文客人的名單應為四個部分,而不是五個部分
    6. 去掉run前面的to,因為前文的動詞為make
    7. present—former:根據(jù)上下文,應為前夫/妻,考試大而不是現(xiàn)任/現(xiàn)在的
    8. secondary—second:前者和primary對應;后者和first對應
    9. might—should:might常表示可以做的事情或者可能發(fā)生的事情,should表示應當做的或發(fā)生的事
    10. between—among: 根據(jù)上下文,為從許多主題中選擇,而不是兩個
