【答案与解析】
1. basket→baskets。用可数名词复数形式表示类别。2. 去掉 that。此处表示泛指。3. which前 加in或者将which 改为where。关系副词在定语从句中作状语,修饰 are kept。4. and→but 5. much→more。even修饰比较级,此处even more surprised意为"更加惊讶"。 6. few前加a或few改为some。从下文看,在垃圾箱周围站着一些孩子,所以此处表示肯定意义。 7. came→went 8. run→running。用现在分词作saw的宾语补足语,表示当时的情景"小老鼠正跑来跑去"。9. 此行无错。 10. 在interested前加more构成比较级。
