Common mistakes
She peaked at the answer.She peeked at the answer.
句意是‘她偷看答案’，动词应为 peek（偷看），过去式是 peeked。Peaked 作形容词时意思是‘有尖顶的’或‘憔悴的’，没有‘偷看’的意思。
The advertisement peaked my interest.The advertisement piqued my interest.
表示‘激起（兴趣、好奇心）’的动词是 pique，不是 peak。Peaked 只有‘有尖顶的’‘憔悴的’或‘达到顶峰’等意思，不能表达‘激起’，所以应改为 piqued。
