【解析】

文章大意：本文是一篇与睡眠有关的短文，讲述了睡眠与健康的关系，不同年龄的人需要不同的睡眠时间，中国青少年学生的睡眠现状以及解决措施等。

【1】句意：每年，世界各地都有一个节日来庆祝良好健康睡眠的重要性——世界睡眠日。由前面的定冠词the，可知此处应填入一个名词，important是形容词“重要的”，与其对应的名词是importance“重要”，故答案填importance。

【2】句意：据说每晚8小时的睡眠时间被认为是平均睡眠时间。由题干可知主语eight hours与动词consider之间存在被动关系，所以应用被动语态，文章时态为一般现在时，时间作主语谓语动词用单数，所以be动词用is，consider的过去分词是considered，故答案填is considered。

【3】句意：然而，去年中国青少年研究中心报道。由last year可知，动词时态用一般过去时，report的过去式为reported，故答案填reported。

【4】句意：大约五分之四的中学生睡眠不足。这里考查分数的表达方法，在英语中一般用基数词表示分数的分子，用序数词表示分数的分母；当分子大于1时，分母要用复数形式，所以五分之四的正确书写是four fifths，故答案填fifths。

【5】句意：对于一些学生来说，他们想早点睡觉，但是他们总是担心他们的学业。keep doing sth.或者keep+形容词，都表示“使…处于某种状态”，故答案填worrying/worried。

【6】句意：他们不能很快入睡。联系上文语境，结合提示词可知此处句意为“他们不能很快入睡。”“入睡”fall asleep，固定词组，前面有情态动词can’t，所以这里用动词原形，故答案填asleep。

【7】句意：为了解决这类问题。根据__7__ (solve) this kind of problem, scientists advise that students should …可知这里应用动词不定式表示目的，故答案填To solve。

【8】句意：科学家建议学生应该少做功课，多睡觉。根据后面的more time to sleep可知此处应表达的是“作更少的功课”，句中暗含比较级，little的比较级为less，故答案填less。

【9】句意：比如白天小睡20分钟。such as意思是“比如”，as是介词后接动词ing形式，故答案填taking。

【10】句意：良好的睡眠习惯也很有帮助。前面有系动词are，后接形容词作表语，help“帮助”，动词，与其对应的形容词是helpful“有帮助的、有益的”，故答案填helpful。
