2.get up : If I stay up late tonight, I'll get up late next the morning.
3.stand up : When the teacher calls his name, he stands up and walks toward her. (Past tense would be "What the teacher called his name, he stood up and walked toward her.")

5.pick up : My brother called me to pick him up at the airport. (Correct.)
6.bring up : I was brought up by my fond mother. (Correct, but fond sounds strange. loving would sound more natural. Fond is usually used as a verb, like "My mother was very fond of me".)

8.look up : I will look up for the movies which are now playing in theaters now.
