One of our main arguments is that we in Western countries actually have part to play in causing the __1__ problems of the Third World. Many Third World countries are saddle with immense debt burdens, for __2__ example. They were lent money with low interest rates __3__ in the 1970s, when money flooded into Western banks from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the Third World. The interest rates have then been risen __4__ dramatically. So you have a situation where a country in many cases can’t even repay the interest, letting alone __5__ the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example from what I have come across is a country in West Africa where the consumption, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts, if they are imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. __6__ The peanut is a major source of protein in this you have people go hungry as a result of that. __7__ The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United States to feed our cattle. Those cattle then produced a surplus of milk which we do not know what to do have enough milk, more milk than we can cope with in the Western World. And also that milk __8__ was transformed into dried milk powder and then taken back to this country to help feed children who were? suffering from malnutrition. So that’s the kind of insanely __9__ economic relationship that we have got ourselves in __10__ the Third World.

答案： 1.在part前加上a。詞組have a part to play in…的意思是“有份兒”

le改為saddled。此處為被動語態，應該把動詞變為過去分詞形式。

3.把with改為at。此處介詞與interest rates搭配。

4.刪除been（這裏應該是把risen改為rising，答案應該錯了）。rise是不及物動詞，不用於被動語態。

5.把letting改為let。let alone 意思為“更不用提”。

6.把imported改為exported。下文説花生可以帶來外匯收益，出口才會帶來外匯，所以此處應用exported。

7.把have改為had。上文提到該國禁止本國消費花生這件事用的是過去時。

8.把also改為so。必須把與此相關的幾個句子聯繫在一起理解，上文説：花生出口到英國和美國去餵了牛，而牛又產出了過剩的牛奶，我們不知道怎麼處理這些牛奶。在西方世界，我們的.牛奶夠多了，多得無法處理。本句説：這些牛奶就被製成奶粉拿到該國去餵養那些營養不良的兒童。由此可見本句與上文是因果關係，不能用also來連接。

nely改為insane。此處表達“荒唐的經濟關係”insane修飾的是relationship，而非economic，因此要用形容詞代替。

10.把in改為into。詞組get in 雖然也可以表達“ 進入，陷入”，但是in為副詞，後面不能跟地點，所以應該改為into
