Several years ago, we began construction on a new church building. In the beginning, the workmen dug a big pit in the ground and then they began to pour footings.

3.lying--laying.lying是lie的-ing分词，而lie的意思是“平躺”或“说谎”，都和原文的意思及搭配不符。

4.affectation--affection.前者是“不自然”，后者是“感情，慈爱”。physical affection的意思是“通过身体语言表现出来的慈爱”。

5.are--were.文中的you指的是孩子的父母，已经为人父母的人被养大成人的过程中应该是在过去的时间。所以这里应该用过去时态。

6.need--\\.“so+代动词do+somebody”这个结构已经替代了前面句子的谓语，是一个动词性替代，做简短反应，这里加一个动词need是多余的。

7.the--\\.be in charge 意思是“主管，控制”，这里是说孩子们有时候试图成为控制者。如果说in one's charge或者in the charge of somebody，意思则是被某人看管。 8.Since--While/Although/Though.这里要理解主从句的逻辑关系，从句是说小孩子也没有意识到自己的控制欲，主句说他实际上确实有控制欲，两者不是因果关系，而是让
