答案解析：
1. Fly→Flies。当“fly”表示苍蝇时，是可数名词。
2. being→beings。“human being”表示“人类”的意思时是可数名词。
3. instruction→instructions。“instruction”作“产品的说明”时，要用复数形式。
4. family→families。在原句中，此处指美国家庭的总体情况，故应用名词的复数形式。
5. valuable→valuables。此处valuable作名词使用，在句中表示“贵重物品”的意思，应用复数形式。
6. plant→plants。
7. language→languages。
8. language→culture。根据上文可知，文章中没有谈到语言，所涉及的全是文化方面的内容，所以此处应该是指文化才对。
9. progresses→progress。在该句中，“progress”作为不可数名词使用，表示“进步，进展”的意思。
10. female→male。根据上文可知，男人才是养家糊口的人，所以此处应该是male。
1. 删除nature前的定冠词the。当“nature”作“大自然”的意思讲时，是整体概念，前面一般不用冠词。
2. 删去定冠词the。“on second thoughts”为固顶用法，意为“又一想”，中间不加定冠词。
3. town前加the。
4. the→a。DVD作为礼物，显然是多种选择中的一种，故前面用不定冠词a。
5. the→a。该句中，名词前面加上不定冠词表示“又、在”的意思。
6. year前加the。当明确指出某一年时，必须用定冠词，表示“到……年为止”的意思。
7. aid前加the。
8. a→an。
9. a→the。该句明确指出单词是“glass”，是确指，因此应该使用定冠词。
10. great前加a。“a great deal of”是固定搭配，表示“大量的”。
