(1) Grandma told me that if I did my school work well and read a lot, I would be able to floor a handsome young man when I grew up...

(not very sure, need to double check)
我最近發現自己動詞時態上的問題還挺多挺大的,常常困惑。這個可能我原來的也行,你改的也可以。
>> what does "floor" means here? To surprise/impress?
不知道我用的對不對。be floored有“傾倒”的意思,但是主動語態是否還有這個意思我沒查過,我這樣隨意發揮了用也不知道有沒有問題。一會兒去翻字典。
(2) I did my best at school besides reading quite a lot books that wouldn't have helped me with the college entrance exam.
->
I did my best at school, and besides, I read quite a lot books that did not helped me with my college entrance exams.
我想說的是在讀夠了雜書之餘,我盡量把功課學好。是不是下麵這樣好些?
Besides reading quite a lot books that wouldn't have helped me with the college entrance exam, I did my best at school.
(3) And I ended up marrying a guy who is decent looking, though far from even comparable to Song Yu, but has read a wider range of books than I.

你改的好。
(4)I recalled that old saying Grandma had taught me again.
->

你改的好。
(5)is it that all the bookworms are good looking, or that all the good looking people love books?
->
is it true that all the bookworms are good looking, or that all the good looking people love books?
兩種說法意思不完全一樣,我原來的可能也可以?
Thank you!
