At night, Central Park "was full of hundreds of people who slept on the grass. Babies cried in the darkness, men’s deep voices【B8】______, and a woman let out a(n) 【B9】______high laugh beside the lake." It was still hot in the park, and it was crowded, but the【B10】______of the space made the heat easier to【B11】______.

New York buildings, Iiebling complained, were now "twenty degrees colder in summer than in winter, when they are【B17】______to the needs of a woman who is going to shed a mink coat the【B18】______she gets inside, and is wearing nothing much underneath it."
Nowadays, air-conditioners are cheap and【B19】______. And yet there are still summer days like these— days when it’s【B20】______hot that the heat is almost all you can think about.
