答案：
1 、将had used 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：
Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise. 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：
Any discovery that we may make, however small, will remain acquired knowledge. 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
