71、r the blanket. My parents went to hospital to accompany with my sick grandfather so I dont need to wait for them. I felt too frightened because my mind was full of scary thought. After some time passed, I fall asleep at last. At breakfast I told my parents that I had seen last night. My parents were
72、 also frightened and they promised that they would ever leave me at home alone.答案：难项分析：第三处：followingfollowed考查非谓语动词。flash of lightning与follow在逻辑上是被动关系，所以用follow(随着)的过去分词。故把following改为followed。第六处：dontdidnt考查动词的时态。陈述过去的事情用一般过去时，didnt need to do . 结构中need是实意动词。第九处：thatwhat考查宾语从句的连接词。分析句子可知，本句为宾语从句。that I had seen last night为tell 的宾语。连接词在宾语从句中作see的宾语，意为“的事物”，故把that改为what。
