Last year in my high school child-development class, each student had to take the “ Think-It-Over” baby home for a night to get a taste of parenthood.

It was a Friday  36  when my turn came to take the 10-pound plastic doll home. The doll really did look like a  37  baby from a distance. I decided to name him Tyler.

My friends and I went out for 38 that night. As it was rather cold, I decided to  39 Tyler in a blanket and carry him in that way. When I walked into the restaurant, I noted some very   40  looks and quiet a few raised eyebrows. My friends and I decided to  41 the whole situation. I stood in the corner,  42 to rock Tyler to sleep while my friends kept looking into the  43 and said, “Oh, how lovely!” I couldn’t help but  44.

第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

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．

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.
