参考答案及解析:
1将hadused改为used。因为此句是虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反，故条件从句中应使用一般过去时。例如：Manywouldbewiseiftheydidnotthinkthemselveswise.许多人原本会成为聪明人－如果他们不自以为聪明的话。
2将publishing改为published;report和publish时逻辑动宾关系，故应使用publish的过去分词短语来修饰report。例如：Anydiscoverythatwemaymake,howeversmall,willremainacquiredknowledge.任何可能的发现，不管多么微不足道，都将成为知识宝库中的一部分。
3将theirs改为their;
4将among改为between;在两次怀孕期间留出足够的间隔时间，故用between。
5将过去分词excluded改为介词excluding。excluding意为“不包括…”
6将respectably改为respectively;respectively意为“分别地”，符合句子的意思。而respectably意为“可敬的，值得尊敬地”。
7将evidences改为evidence。evidence是不可数名词。
8将ill改为illness。
9将year改为years。
10将lesser改为less
