2) she glanced down the list of names. 她由上而下匆匆地看了一下名單。
stare意為“凝視”,它也是一個不及物動詞,其后通常接介詞at才能接賓語。如:
she stared at him in surprise.她驚訝地瞪著他看。
he was staring out to the sea. 他凝目眺望大海。
glare意為“怒視;瞪眼”,也是不及物動詞,其后要接介詞at后才能接賓語。如:
they stood glaring at each other.他們互相怒目而視地站著。
go on to do sth;go on doing sth.;go on with sth. 這三個短語都有繼續做某事的意思,但在含義上有所不同。 go on to do sth.表示“接著做另一件事”,即接下去做與原來不同的一件事; go on doing sth…表示“繼續不停地做某事或間斷后繼續做原來沒有做完的事”; go on with sth.表示“間斷后繼續做原來沒有做完的事”,其后一般接代詞作賓語。通常情況下,go on doing sth.和go on with sth.可互換。例如: after they had read the text,the students went on to do the exercises. 讀完課文后,學生們繼續做練習。 the students went on talking and laughing all the way. 一路上學生們一直有說有笑。 after a rest,we went on with our lesson(=after a rest,we went on having our lesson.). 休息以后,我們繼續上課。

habit, practice, custom, convention這組名詞一般含義為“習慣”。
habit指個人的“習慣”,通常用于表示做事、思考問題或行為舉止的不自覺的方式方法

這證明是我的失敗,因為我不久就回到在電視屏幕前打瞌睡的壞習慣去了。
practice 既可表示個人的也可表示社會的“習慣”,這種“習慣”從性質上看是一種反復不斷的或是有選擇性的行為或者方法

在另一方面,一想到用動物油煎馬鈴薯,你便會作嘔。然而在許多北歐國家里,這是為大家接受的通常習慣。

她慢慢地走進廳堂,并且立刻發現所有的房門都是開著的。但是按照她自己的一般習慣,她在外出前總是把門全部關好的。
custom 具有 habit 和 practice 的一切含義,此外,custom 還包含這樣一層意思:長期而廣泛采用的行為或方法,即風俗習慣,按照某地區人們共同生活及其行為的準則或規范,它不僅有指導意義,而且具有必須遵循的意義
don't be a slave to custom. 不要做風俗習慣的奴隸。
