1．heard 考查时态。根据语境以及just可判断，此处用一般过去时heard。 2．for 考查介词。look for是固定搭配，意思是“寻找”。 3．but 考查连词。此处前后语意存在转折关系，故用but。
4．laying/to lay 考查非谓语动词。start doing/to do sth．“开始做某事”。 5．a 考查冠词。choice是可数名词，故用不定冠词a。
6．news 考查名词。根据语境可知，此处指的是前面提到的news。
7．losing 考查非谓语动词。此处用v．-ing形式losing作后置定语，修饰people。 8．really 考查词性转换。此处用副词really修饰谓语动词。
9．fired 考查非谓语动词。get fired意思是“被解雇”，此处get是系动词。 10．no 考查副词。此处意思是“我目前并不知道”，故用no。 Ⅴ．短文改错 Dear Sir，

Yours sincerely， Ann
