60、 or a phrase，指“物”，故用关系代词that/which。42facedbe faced with表示“面对”。43themselves由those可知，应用反身代词themselves作宾语。该谚语的意思是“自助者，天助之”。44to workmake efforts to do sth.表示“尽力做某事”。45but句意：有时候我很懒，不想尽力学习，但是我一想起我的格言就会再次精力充沛起来，并全身心投入到我正在做的事情上。根据上下文语境可知此处表示转折，故用but。46todevote oneself to是固定搭配，意为“致力于，专心于”，其中to是介词。47where分析句
61、子结构可知，此处引导地点状语从句，表示“在的地方”，故用where。48confidencewith是介词，故应用confident的名词形式confidence作宾语。49an此处指作者成为一个独立的人，表示“一个”应用不定冠词；又因independent的发音是以元音音素开头的，故用an。50onhave a great effect on.是固定搭配，意为“对有很大的影响”。.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)When Joe left university，he got a good job in a bikes factory.And after he had worke
