答案解析
文章大意
本文讨论的是英国人对孩子童年时期的过度保护。过多的安全考虑不仅仅限制了孩子的课外活动，而且使越来越多的青少年缺少情感的应变能力、社交能力和自信心。正是我们对孩子的这种风险规避，威胁着孩子的身心健康。当务之急就是要还给孩子足够的空间，让他们自然地学会各种技能。
答案详解
1．collect→collecting词汇错误。这里的collect autumn leaves应该和taking children out on field trips，outdoor activities并列，都是stop的宾语，而stop sb. doing sth.表示“阻止某人做某事”，根据此结构，故用collecting。
2．with→with语法错误。本句的主语是the Depart-ment for Children, Schools and Families(英国儿童、学校和家庭部），aim to这一动作的施动者也是相同的主语，故直接用aim的现在分词形式表示伴随，不需要加介词with。
3．And→But语篇错误。从上下文的语义来判断，句间的逻辑关系应为转折关系。前面一
句说到“我想学校有组织、有成人监督的活动，有总比没有好。”本句刚说“他们真的不好”，前后意思相悖，重在强调后者，故用But。
4．excess→excessive词汇错误。excess作形容词表示“额外的，附加的”，而这里强调
的是学校对孩子的过分保护，健康和安全措施并不是在量上太多，而是强调程度上“过分的，过度的”，故用excessive更合适。
5．∧couple→a词汇错误。couple是名词表示“两个，一对”，前面必须加冠词，而a couple of是固定表达，表示“不确定的小数目”，这里表示“几年前”。
6．Nothing→Something语篇错误。上文讲述的是英国人对青少年的过度保护并不好，使他们缺少情感的应变能力、社交能力和自信心，另外又接着说，英国青少年行为不端名列榜首，下文则是作者对这个问题的分析，认为这是我们的风险规避所致。因此总的来说，英国孩子们的童年是有问题的，故将Nothing改为Something。
7．∧which→of语法错误。括号中的句子是定语从句，先行词是thirty years，而从句的主语正好是the last eight years，两者构成所属关系，应该加介词of，本句意为“30年中的最后8年是用来研究有害的童年”。
8．my→our词汇错误。表面上看本句主语是I，故相应的物主代词应该是my，但是从全文来判断，对孩子的过度保护和风险规避并不是某个人的行为，更不是作者自己的行为，而是整个社会现象，故物主代词用our更合适。
9．threaten→threatens语法错误。本句主语是A comb
ination of，表示“……的结合”，是单数意义的名词短语，故谓动词threaten也要用单数形式。
10．This→It语法错误。本句真正的主语是that we reclaim... to our ancestors，而This不能用作形式主语，应改成It。
