1 centers是一个机构名称,类似United StatesUnited Nations. 作为一个机构当然是单数概念,谓语用单数。

2 Boy do we need it. 这是一个感叹句。我们真的太需要充足的睡眠了!其中boy为感叹词,表示an exclamation of wonder, approval, etc., or of displeasure or contempt, etc: boy, is he going to be sorry!. do we need it 为广义的感叹句(即除了whathow引导的感叹句以外的其它形式的感叹句)。也可以不倒装,但倒装则更为强调。例如:"Boy! Did we make friends with the wrong sister!" = "Boy! We made friends with the wrong sister!" 但前者语气更为强烈。
