参考答案及解析:

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
