【解析】

试题分析：通过本文考查了学生对一些英语语法的理解和应用。如固定搭配，形容词副词的区别，名词的用法等。

【1】worse 考查比较级。根据后面as they get older可知，这里指的是“变的更差”，所以需要bad的比较级worse。

【2】problems 考查名词复数。这里问题不止一个，所以需用复数形式。

【3】asleep 考查短语。fall asleep“入睡”，为动词短语。

【4】surprising 考查动词。形容事物用现在分词转化成的形容词。

【5】unhappy 考查词义。这里指的是感到不高兴和紧张的学生，所以需用happy的反义词unhappy。

【6】following 考查名词。following表示“接下来的”，为形容词，所以这里需用形容词修饰名词thing。

【7】Using 考查动名词。这里是动名词作主语，所以需将use改为using。

【8】it 考查代词。这里用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式to sleep。

【9】to go 考查动词不定式。get up to do sth起床做某事，所以这里需用动词不定式。

【10】before 考查副词。这里指的是在睡觉前。
