答案：
1.把frightened改为frightening。frightened是“受到惊吓的”，表明心理状态，而frightening表示“令人害怕的”，表示事物性质。
2.把appear改为disappear。“当你住在摩天大厦的三十层里”，可以推测这里要表达的是归属感的消失，而不是产生归属感。
3.把Strange改为Strangely。Strangely enough，是固定短语，经常用作插入语，意思是“说也奇怪，最奇怪的是”。
4.在say前面加上don’t。此处说的是，现在住在同一层楼的人甚至见面都不打招呼。
5.把keep改为keeps。in that 引导的句子主语应该是 a sense，故谓语应为单数。本句的意思是，农村生活与这种隔绝孤立的生活不同，因为一种归属感把小村里的居民联系在一起。
6.把so 改为but/yet。上文提到了乡村生活的`好处，下文是转折，要用but或者yet。
7.把for改为on。“去远征”应该用go on a expedition，而go for 的意思是“去找，努力获取，拥护”。
8.把peaceful改为peace。of 后面不应该用形容词，所以应该改为peace。这里需要注意的是quiet既是名词又是形容词，不要被迷惑。
9.把their改为its。此处的代词应该指代上文的 the city。
10.删除leaving后面的for，或者把for改为from。leave表示“离开某地”，而leave for表示“离开某地去另外一个地方”，for后面接的是目的地。本句说的是离开城市，搬到乡村，所以for是多余的。
