答案和解析：

本文作者講述了家里因看電視而引起的問題。

86. 去掉much。作者現在根本就不看電視了。

87. 去掉was。used to do sth. 意為“過去常常做……”，而be used to doing sth 則表示“習慣于做……”。

88. watch 改為 watching。 watching在此句中作主語。

89. Unfortunate 改為 Unfortunately。此處要求用副詞，作狀語。

90. among 改為 in。此處my family為“我的家庭”，因此，不用 among。

91. the 改為 one。one與下一行的 another構成“一個……另一個”。

92. am 改為was。全文都是敘述過去的事情。

93. a lot 后加of。a lot不能直接修飾名詞。 

94. 正確。

95. someone 改為everyone / everybody。從全文語義來看，應為“每一個人”。
