Question

翻译一篇完形填空，问题在下面

One hot night last July when our new baby wouldn’t or couldn’t sleep, I _31__ everything I could think of: a warm bottle, songs, gentle rocking. Nothing would make him go to sleep. Guessing that I had a long __32__ ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, thinking that watching the late movie was the best way to kill off the __33__ until early morning. To my __34_, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby __35_ right now and his little eyes were fixed brightly on the screen. Not to waste a chance for __36__, I then walked out of the room quietly, __37__ him to watch Mickey Mouse. My wife and I heard __38__ of the baby that night, and the next morning, when we went into his room, I __39__ him still watching TV himself. I found something for us to think over in my baby’s behavior（行为）. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, __40_ he took no notice of them. When we _41_ to him, he did not feel __42_. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watching TV. After this experience with the __43_, however, I have reached a conclusion（结论）， “Let them watch it! If television is much more __44__ to children than books, __45__ should we fight it? Let them watch all they want!”

去年七月的一个炎热夜晚，我们家的小宝宝不想睡，或者说，热得睡不着。我试了一切能想到的办法：暖瓶、唱催眠曲、轻轻摇晃。可是小少爷说什么也不肯睡。我猜想肯定还得折腾很长时间，就搬了一台便携电视到儿子的房间里，想着看看深夜电影来打发时间、好熬到明早。令我吃惊的是，电视一打开，宝宝就不哭不闹了，小眼睛紧紧盯着电视屏幕。终于得享片刻安静，我便悄悄走出了房间，留下儿子在那儿看米老鼠。那天晚上，我和老婆再也没有听到宝宝的哭闹声。第二天一早，当我们走进他的房间时，发现他还在独自看电视。我从宝宝的行为上发现了我们应该思考的东西。我跟老婆给儿子几本书做实验，结果他对书毫不理睬。当我们教他说话的时候，他并不感到有趣。其实在学校里也是一样。我们发现学生们不喜欢看书，他们轻视看书、还嘲笑我们这些教书的人。他们想做的只有看电视。不过，有了这次经历，我就得出了一个结论：“让他们看去吧！假如电视对孩子们来说比书还有趣，那么我们为什么要执意反对呢？让他们自由选择爱看的东西去！”
