答案：
1 、將had used 改爲 used。因爲此句是虛擬語氣，表示與現在事實相反，故條件從句中應使用一般過去時。例如：
Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise. 許多人原本會成爲聰明人－如果他們不自以爲聰明的話。
2、 將publishing改爲published；report和publish時邏輯動賓關係，故應使用publish的.過去分詞短語來修飾report。例如：
Any discovery that we may make, however small, will remain acquired knowledge. 任何可能的發現，不管多麼微不足道，都將成爲知識寶庫中的一部分。
3 、將theirs改爲their
4 、將among改爲between在兩次懷孕期間留出足夠的間隔時間，故用between。
5 、將過去分詞excluded改爲介詞excluding。excluding意爲“不包括…”
6、 將respectably改爲respectively，respectively 意爲 “分別地 ”，符合句子的意思。而respectably意爲 “可敬的，值得尊敬地 ”。
7、將evidences改爲evidence。evidence是不可數名詞。
8、將ill改爲illness。
9、將year改爲years。
10、將lesser改爲less
