6、floors”可知应填restaurant，即“饭店”。77a 由固定搭配“sucha/anadj.n.”且helpful为辅音音素开头可知应填a。78too 根据语境，肯定句中表示“也”且放在句尾应用too。79his my grandfather作主语，作为其代词应填his。80from learn from (从学到)是固定短语。【例2】Most of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents, or teachers.Perhaps they _1_ something you didnt like or you fel
