3、s around him. Suddenly Marcus fell backwards off the ladder, with the large woman sitting on him. Marcus landed first — hitting a wall beside the front stairs — and broke the woman’s fall. She fell no more, but he fell another ten feet down the stairs. When the fire officer reached him, Marcus was u

4、nconscious. Within an hour, a doctor told the men that Marcus was nearly brain dead, and would only get worse. Doctors talked of turning off the life-saving machine and asked if the family would like to give away his heart. The answer was “yes”. On January 6, firefighters lifted Marcus’ coffin (棺材

5、) — covered with an American flag — onto a yellow fire engine. Hundreds of firefighters from all over the state joined the procession (行列) through Newmark streets.

17、 let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a way as to have them in fits of laughter.

Among the misspelled wo

53、rds were foce (force), similiar (similar), and acheiving (achieving) etc. Some authors have called one of the mistakes a schoolboy howler and told him he “could do better”. Mr. Knight said, “When I do my blog (博客) I’m usually doing it in a hurry on my phone and sometimes I forget the basic rule of

54、checking my work. Clearly I must try harder.” He was generally a good speller but often had problems while spelling words with two c’s together, such as occurrence. “As schools minister, it’s important that I set an example and live up to the education I had,” added Mr. Knight, who studied at Cambr

55、idge University. He said the public picking him up on the mistakes had been a “helpful reminder (提醒)”. Richard Drax, one of his friends, said, “It’s so easy to have a go especially as there is a jokey side to this. As schools minister he should be setting an example across the country. Maybe he sh

56、ould try to find another job which is not so demanding (苛求的) on his spelling.” Another author Minette Walters said she didn’t want to be picky about the mistakes. She said, “He is a nice man who works very hard and does his best for everyone. But the school report on this would be that he could do

57、 better. I’m not sure the spell check has helped much here.” Author and historian Stuart Morris said, “On one level the message he is sending out is more important. But I think it is right for anybody in a position of authority (權(quán)威) to make an effort to get their basic spelling and grammar right.”
