阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

       The night started out ordinarily enough. Jack and Tara, our   36   , were in their small beds surrounded by toy animals. My husband, Pat, and I went to sleep   37  .

          38   after midnight, Jack quietly touched me. “Mommy, I want to stay with you. I promise I won’t take much room.” I shifted   39   to make room. My son soon fell asleep.

       An hour later, Tara cried and I carefully went downstairs. “Mommy, my   40   is all stuffed up(堵住). I can’t really breathe very well. Will you please   41   with me a little while?” Tara doesn’t often get up at night,   42   I decided to be there for her. She soon fell asleep. I returned to my own bed. I was determined to sleep. But to my   43   , I found Jack sleeping on my side of the bed. He looked so   44   that I couldn’t remove him. Quietly and carefully, I lay down between  45   and Jack.

       I did manage to get some sleep   46   I heard Tara’s voice again. I returned to   47  Tara. “Mom, please lie down with me a little bit, I had a bad dream, and I’m so   48  .” “Of course, honey. It was only a dream. Mommy’s here and   49   is okay.” We fell asleep   50   each other’s arms.

       Even in my sleepy state, I thought of   51   these nights of merry-go-round(一连串的繁忙活动)beds will be over. In their place, my twins will be grown.   52   before I’m ready, our children’ rooms will be much too   53   and empty. So it is especially on days when I’m worn out after a night on this mom’s merry-go-round that I remind   54   that these very days and nights are, in fact. “the good old days”, ever so   55  .

Last year, on report card day, my son and a group of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald's. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A's, and Laurie got a cell-phone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPod Nano, and she's only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $10 for each A.”
I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell-phone, and the DVD player?       
I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle disappear before my eyes---no more of those $5 bags of already-peeled organic(施有机肥料的)carrots. No more organic anything!            
I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal achieved by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns(橄榄球底线得分)? What about the orchestra(管弦乐队)? Would first chair pay more than second? I'd be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.
“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that's about it.”
Don't you just hate that? We're all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation. And what about the primary grades? What do these students get? “When the teacher asked if anyone got rewards for good grades, everyone in my class raised their hands and said they got ice cream cones (蛋卷),” said one third-grader.
【小题1】What's the best title for the passage?

A.Tips on Paying Kids for Good Grades
B.New Trends in Paying Kids for Good Grades
C.Good Grades Mean Good Rewards
D.Don't Pay Kids for Good Grades
【小题2】What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably mean?
A.Taking care of my children would influence my work.
B.I would spend less money on my children's good grades.
C.More rewards would be needed as my children grow up.
D.Reducing my children's homework load would cost me a lot.
【小题3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________. 
A.if you buy children pizza as a reward, they will work harder
B.if you pay kids for good grades, they will take it for granted
C.children will not ask for rewards when they enter high school
D.good grades won't help kids make great progress in the future
【小题4】The author takes her neighbor as an example to show _______.
A.pizza is the best way to motivate children
B.it is necessary to reward children for their good grades.
C.getting rewards for good grades is common nowadays
D.rewards are not the only way to motivate children
