其中AS IT DID 怎么理解。

Answer 1

这是新概念3里的经典句型啊~ 前面要用一句概述 as it did是用来衔接例子的，不能去掉~
比如：
The Internet can benefit peole in may ways, as it did in the case of lilywishing who found the solution to her problem through the Internet.
当然具体形式还要根据人称变化 比如 as they/he/she did...
新概念3有很多好句型呢~ 值得好好学一下~

Answer 5

Such is human nature,that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.this can give rise to curious situations.as it did in the case of alfred bloggs who worked as a dustman for ellesmere corporation.
全句话意思可翻译为：
人性即是如此——很多人常常甘愿牺牲更高的薪水而去追求当白领的特权。这会导致奇怪现象的出现，这正如在埃尔斯米尔公司作清洁工的 Alfred Bloggs 的事例所反映的情形相似。
as it did 正如...所反映/昭示的那样
