   This morning I awoke from a wonderful night’s sleep. One of those completely satisfying sleep—difficult to explain, but if you’ve ever had one you’ll know what I’m    36    about.

       No amount of    37    could buy a better night’s sleep. I truly    38   my blessed rest. It was like a gift from heaven. Interesting to think that Bill Gates or any    39    billionaire you can     40   really couldn’t have had a more satisfying, fulfilling night of sleep.

       That started me thinking of other    41   that cost nothing or very little．Like a drink of cold water on a    42   day．Or a warm relaxing    43   when you’re tired．

       What could be better than    44    to your favorite music or watching good movies? These are    45    delights—small pleasures．I hope this doesn’t    46    too silly in today’s rough，loud world．I wonder if the new generation can appreciate some such things．

    We’re told we   47    the latest model car, or TV or computer to be happy，but it’s all a trick, a marketing move．No sooner do we get these things,    48    we’re looking to replace them    49    a newer car, or TV or computer．

This is not to say that money isn't important. Money can help    50   , clothes and house those in need．Money is neither all good nor all bad—it’s just a   51    of life that can be used for good things or abused(滥用).

I suppose having    52    money worries can give a certain peace of mind that   53   a person to have a good night’s rest. But no amount of money can   54    buy that wonderful, particularly restful night’s sleep that I   55   last night.

       More than ever, kids today have given up reading for activities like watching TV, playing video games and surfing the Internet, but recently a new trend (趋势) has been catching on that will hopefully change that.

       In fact, book clubs are becoming more popular among American kids. 11-year-old Kenya Debarros read about singer Lena Horne. “It was just amazing to see a black woman as the star and not just a mammy or a maid,” she says. But did all these kids come enthusiastically (热情地)? No, not exactly.

       “I like book club, uh, I don’t know, but I am just trying it out. My mom didn’t make me, but I just tried it out,” says 16-year-old Antonio Nash.

       And if they’ll try it, the experts say, there are ways to get them to come back. Make it fun, serve pizza, serve chocolate cakes and have door prizes (门票对号奖). It also helps to connect books to the real world. They talk about things that are happening in the community, so they can relate whatever they’ve read in the book to what’s happening now.

       Here they have long talks about the books they have selected, which most kids don’t get to do when they’re in school, and these kids say, in book clubs they’re learning to love books and love reading.

       “I feel like I’m actually in the book and doing what the actual main character is doing,” says 13-year-

-old Justin Woodard.

       16-year-old Antonia McManus says reading gives her a nice break from the day, “Sitting down and reading a book gives me some time to get away from the world, and get my mind straight.”
