【解析】

【1】An 考察冠詞。文意是一位老的建筑者準備退休了，elderly 是以元音字母開頭的，所以用冠詞an。

【2】employer 考察名詞。文意是他告訴他的雇傭者他將離開建造的房子，和他的妻子過舒適的日子。

【3】to leave 考察不定式。Plan to do something是固定搭配，表示“計劃做某事”。

【4】but 考察轉折連詞。文意是他可能會錯過現(xiàn)金支付，但他還是想退休，前后是轉折關系，所以應用but。

【5】was 考察時態(tài)。文意是老板看到自己的員工要走，感到很惋惜。文中時態(tài)是過去式，前后時態(tài)要保持一致，所以要用過去式。

【6】personal 考察形容詞。文意是老板詢問他是否能建造一棟個人非常喜歡的房子，personal修飾favor。

【7】it 考察代詞。文意是很明顯他的心思已經不再工作上了。It is easy to do something 是固定搭配，表示“做某事很簡單”。

【8】carelessly 考察副詞。文意是他建造的時候心不在焉，并且用的材料也不是優(yōu)質的。carelessly修飾的是動詞built。

【9】unfortunate 考察形容詞。他采用了一種很不好大方法去結束自己的工作生涯。unfortunate修飾名詞way。

【10】and考察連詞。當他完成這份工作的時候，他的老板來了，并把鑰匙交到了建造者的手中，前后是并列關系，所以要用and。

【11】to 考察不定式。文意是把鑰匙教導建造者的手中。

【12】shocked 考察被動語態(tài)。文意是我震驚了。

【13】What 考察引導詞。What a shame!中what引導的感嘆句，表示“多么羞愧啊”。

【14】had known考察時態(tài)。文意是如果他早就知道建造的房子是給自己的，他做的可能就會完全不一樣。如果他早就知道建造房子這件事發(fā)生在過去的過去，所以要用過去完成時態(tài)。

【15】had built考察時態(tài)。文意是他住在他從沒有建造的的房子里。

【16】So考察連詞。文意前后是因果關系。

【17】putting考察動名詞。often是一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)的標志性詞語。

【18】that/which/ \考察引導詞。that/which/ \引導的定于從句修飾house。

【19】yourself考察反身代詞。文意是假設你自己本身是建筑師。

【20】Therefore考察連詞。你今天的生活是昨天的態(tài)度和選擇，所以，要明明智。文意前后是因果關系。
