1. no后面接可数名词用单数或复数均可：接单数：No student is to leave the room. 学生不得离开这个房间。No cigarette is completely harmless. 香烟没有完全无害的。No man is born a genius. 没有人生来就是天才。接复数：No apologies are needed. 不用道歉。No dogs are allowed in the park. 禁止携狗进人公园。No cars are allowed beyond this line. 车辆不得越过此线。no后面接可数名词用单数或复数均可，但比较而言，用单数名词语气更强（含有“没有任何一个”的意味）。2. no 后面也可以接不可数名词：No money was found. 没有找到钱。No news is good news. 没有消息就是好消息。

有认为 a five minutes rest的说法是错误的，宜改为 a five-minute rest 或 five minutes' rest。但事实上，a five minutes rest 之类的用法在阅读中也是可见的。

同意刘冬老师的分析，.caught posing as firefighters and entering properties 是过去分词短语作后置定语，相当于定语从句的省略，即：caught posing as firefighters and entering properties=who were caught posing as firefighters and entering properties另外补充以下类似例句供参考：1. Athletes caught taking drugs should hang their heads in shame. =Athletes who are caught taking drugs should hang their heads in shame. 被査出服用违禁药品的运动员应该感到羞愧。2. The public rarely feels sympathy towards politicians caught behaving badly. =The public rarely feels sympathy towards politicians who are caught behaving badly. 公众很少对行为不端的政客表示同情。3. The university publicly censured the students caught cheating in the exam. =The university publicly censured the students who were caught cheating in the exam.这所大学公开谴责考试作弊的学生。4. The National Basketball Association announced a lifetime ban on players caught dealing in narcotics.= The National Basketball Association announced a lifetime ban on players who were caught dealing in narcotics.美国国家篮球协会宣布，被发现从事毒品交易的球员将被终身禁赛。

1. 两者都可表示“完成”，有时可作为同义词通用。如：The writer has completed [finished] his novel. 这个作家已写完了他的小说。The pupil completed [finished] his homework early in the morning. 这学生一大早把家庭作业做完了。2. complete 除表示一般性的“完成”外，还强调一切完备，没有欠缺的地方，尤其指通过填补失掉或缺陷的部分来配齐或完成(此时不能用 finish 代之）。如：I need one more stamp before my collection is completed. 我再需一张邮票就可以把我的邮票配齐了。She completed her set of dishes by buying the cups and saucers. 她买了些杯碟把她的一套碗盏配齐了。3. finish 在用于下列场合时，一般不用 complete 代替：(1) 后接动名词，表示“结束”或“做完某事”时：Have you not finished speaking? 你还没讲完吗?注：当 finish 之后的动名词带有宾语时，有时可省去动名词(如果意义清楚的话)。如：He has finished (doing) his work. 他把工作做完了。(2) 用作不及物动词，表示“结束”或“完成”时：He didn’t finish in time. 他没有及时完成。The meeting will finish at 3 o’clock. 会议 3 点结束。(3) 用过去分词作表语，表示“准备好了”“做完了”时：At last she is finished too. 最后她也做完了。(4) 表示消极性的完成时：finish a meal 吃完饭 (比较 complete a meal 做好一顿饭)finish a book 读完一本书 (比较 complete a book 写完一本书)

The news is surprising. 这消息很惊人。The man is surprised. 这人很吃惊。是的，上面的第一句也可以用人作主语：The man is surprising. 这个人让人感到很吃惊（可能是指他的言行举止等让人感到吃惊）。又如：The boy is disappointed. 这孩子很失望。The boy is disappointing. 这孩子使人失望。
