（2011·辽宁卷）完形填空

This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My 36　 Tony,had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His 37 had no reason to be thankful to me either,because the year before, I had 　38 their dear son with a pot of paste(浆糊) and some funny pictures. Instead of 　39　 them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year, 　40 , I decided to let him 41 for himself.

We went into a big shop,but Tony was very particular about 　42 . Although I tried to show him toy after toy,he was not to be　 43 . Then I saw he suddenly became 44 ; he had discovered something he really liked: a large tin dram. I was quite happy too　 45　 I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any 　 46　 for weeks! I led Tony away　 47 , saying that the dram was too expensive.

　 Tony asked for permission to go off　 48　 and I made the most of my chance to sit down end　 49　 my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get　 50　 and got up to look for him. I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked　 51　 her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many　 52

in grey suits. I was just going to call the police for help,when I saw a strange　 53 dressed in strange orange clothes. He was wearing a false beard and had a caveman’s axe(斧子)in one hand,and a space gun in the other. It was, of course,Tony, who informed me 54　 that he was the first　 55　 to fly into space.
