解答 In December of 2006，I was the single parent raising my daughter whom was six years old at the time．I didn't have much money，and I wanted to buy a Christmas tree．I took my daughter along with me．As we were choosing a Christmas tree within my budget，my daughter wanted a big tall tree than that planned one．I told my daughter we can't afford a taller tree．Someone must have heard of our conversation．When I went to paying for the tree，the clerk said the customer before me had paid for my tree．I∧shocked．I was very thankful to what the stranger had done for us．That day I promised to me that I would pay it forward．
詳解：
1．the改為a；冠詞錯誤．此處泛指任何一個單身家長，故用不定冠詞．single詞首音素是輔音，故不定冠詞用a．
2．whom改為who；連詞錯誤．此處為定語從句，whom在引導定語從句時，先行詞一般為定語從句中的邏輯賓語．本句先行詞my daughter為下文定語從句的邏輯主語．故用who．
3．and改為but；連詞錯誤．句意為轉折關系，and表示并列關系，故改為but但是，表示轉折關系．
4．big改為bigger；比較級錯誤．根據下文連詞than可知此處表示比較關系，故此處用形容詞比較級作定語．
5．can't改為couldn't；時態錯誤．句意：我告訴我的女兒我們買不起一棵更高的樹．此處情態動詞需要與主句謂語told保持時態一致，也用一般過去時態．can的過去式是could．故改為couldn‘t．
6．去掉of；動詞搭配錯誤．根據后兩句描述可知此處指的是有人聽到了我們的談話．hear of聽說．hear聽見．此處強調的是聽見，故去掉of．
7．paying改為pay；非謂語動詞錯誤．此處to為不定式符號，后面動詞用原形．
8．加was；語態錯誤．根據前一句描述可知我被震驚了．本句主語是動作對象，故用被動語態．句中動作發生在過去，故用一般過去時態．I是第一人稱，故be動詞用am的過去式was．
9．to改為for短語搭配錯誤．句意：我非常感激這個陌生人對我們做的事情．be thankful for因為某事而感激．
10．me改為myself；代詞錯誤．句意：那天我就對自己承諾說，我一定要把這份愛傳遞出去．此處指的是主語本人，故用反身代詞myself我自己．

點評 短文改錯題考查的是語境理解能力和用法基礎知識．常考的知識點有：名詞（單復數錯誤），動詞（時態，語態，搭配，轉換），代詞（指代錯誤），形容詞和副詞（轉換，比較等級），連詞（and，but，or）等．偶爾也會考查邏輯錯誤，如本來用her，卻用了his等等．解題是要注意：以句子為單位，以動詞為中心．看句子要看完整，避免句子前后矛盾的錯誤；找錯誤要以動詞為主，動詞或與動詞有關的錯誤占了改錯的題的重要一部分．
