【解析】

主旨大意:本文是一篇新闻报道。英国正在发起一项活动，鼓励孩子们每天用半个小时的时间去参加户外活动，让孩子们重新走进大自然去户外玩耍。

1.句意为：通常有400个组织参加。此处修饰一个句子，需用副词。故填Normally。注意句首单词首字母大写。

2.句意为：它表明孩子们应该一天在户外玩耍30分钟。根据全文时态和主语it可知此处应用第三人称单数形式。故填suggests。

3.句意为：据说这是英国同类活动中规模最大的活动。空前是定冠词the，所以此处填形容词最高级。故填biggest。

4.句意为：对于孩子来说回归大自然到户外去玩耍是有益处的。分析句子结构可知，此处需将help改为形容词作表语。故填helpful。

5.句意为：它可以帮助孩子们让他们保持精力充沛和开心。此处指让他们保持精力充沛和开心，动词keep后应用人称代词宾格形式。keep＋人称代词宾格＋形容词，表示某种状态。故填them。

6.句意为：悲伤的事实是，现在孩子们已经失去了和大自然以及外界接触的时间。分析句子结构可知，此处为现在完成时，需填写动词的过去分词形式。故填lost。

7.句意为：让人伤心的事实是如今孩子们已经失去了和自然以及户外接触的时间。并且他们在户外花费的时间越来越少。空处前后两句是并列关系。且连词位于句首，需注意首字母大写。故填And。

8.句意为：关于如何在大自然中获得更多时间的建议包括收集树叶或观察秋天的颜色。根据语境可知此处表示“关于……的建议”。故填on。

9.句意为：这不是第一次“少看屏幕、多锻炼”的信息被提出。空后是序数词。故填the。

10.句意为：20世纪80年代，BBC电视节目采访了很多人关于“为何你不让你的孩子们关掉电视出去玩”的话题。根据In the 1980s可知应用动词一般过去式。故填interviewed。
