1．every改为nobody；考查代词，根据句意"没有人想到他们玩的这个游戏会在当地报纸上报导"得知应该用nobody．
2．去掉themselves；考查定语从句，这里they played是一个省略关系代词的定语从句，关系代词作play的宾语，所以去掉themselves．
3．are改为were；考查动词时态，短文讲的是发生了的事情，所以要用过去时．
4．year改为years；考查名词复数，五岁的正确表达是：five years old．
5．in改为by；考查介词，by accident是固定短语，意为"偶然"．
6．open前面加to；考查动词不定式，ask sb to do 是固定用法意为"让某人干某事"．
7．such改为so；考查such和so的区别，such是形容词，后跟名词；so是副词，后跟形容词，bad是形容词，所以这里用so．
8．cry改为crying；考查stop的用法，stop doing意为停止正在做的事情．
9．the改为a；考查冠词，这里泛指一张邮票，所以用a．
10．laughing改为laughter；考查固定短语搭配，burst into laughter是固定短语，意为"突然大笑"．

点评 短文改错首先要快速阅读短文，了解短文的中心思想，然后分析句子成分，弄清句式结构关系，再运用基础语言知识找出短文中的错误加以修改．
