参考答案：
1. 去掉much。因为看电视应为watch television。表示经常看电视应为watch television very often。
2. 去掉was。 因为be used to后接动名词doing sth.,意思是“习惯于做某事”。used to do sth．意思是“过去经常做某事”。这里的意思是过去经常看电视，所以应用used to watch it every night。
3. watch → watching。因为and连接的是两个并列句。watching TV为动名词短语作主语。
4. Unfortunate → Unfortunately。副词作状语。例如：Luckily, I got the ticket。
5. among → in。in my family是固定用法。among的意思是“在……中间”。 如：among the students.
6. the → one。从下一行的another得知，此处是one … another ... 固定搭配。
7. am → was。从整个文章的时态可知，要用一般过去时，而不能用一般现在时。
8. a lot 后加of。 a lot of time意思是“许多时间”。
9. 正确。
10. someone → everyone或everybody。根据句意，应为现在家里的每个人都读书而不看电视了。
