A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes,as a rule,to have it retold in almost the same words,but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts.It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book,and,if a parent can produce what,in the actual situation of the time and the child,is an improvement on the printed-text,so much the better.

A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking.To prove the latter,one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not.As to fears,there are,I think,some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story.Often,however,this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true,that giants, witches（女巫）,two-headed dragons,magic carpets,etc.do not exist;and that,instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales,the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history.If I find such people,I must say so strange that I do not know how to argue with them.If their cases were reasonable,the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.

No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

1.In the author's opinion,when is a fairy story more effective?

A. It is treated as a joke.

B. It is set in the present.

C. It is repeated without any change.

D. It is made some changes by the parent.

2.According to the passage,great fear can take place in a child when the story is .

A. heard for the first time B. in a realistic setting

C. repeated too often D. told in a different way

3.What advantage does repeating fairy stories to young children bring?

A. It develops their power of memory.

B. It makes them less fearful.

C. It encourages them not to have strange beliefs.

D. It makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of.

4.Which is one of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales?

A. Fairy tales are not interesting.

B. Fairy tales are full of imagination.

C. Fairy tales just make up the stories which are far from the truth.

D. Fairy tales make teachers of history difficult to teach.

Suddenly another thought went through Kate’s mind like an electric shock. An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master，” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no one else.

In wind and rain she started on her difficult way. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm had not washed this away, but there was no footpath across it. She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper (枕木)to sleeper. With great care she began the dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.

At last -- she never knew how long it had taken her- - she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest. She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express did, many, many lives would be lost.

She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately the station-master was standing outside. “The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh, please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.

The station-master went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.

1.What did Kate decide to do?

A. Stop the express train. B. Check the signal light.

C. Meet the passengers. D. Visit the station-master

2.Which of the following words best describes Kate’s journey

A. Fruitless. B. Boring.

C. Well-planned. D. Risky.

3.Why did the station-master turn pale?

A. He suddenly fell ill. B. He realized the danger.

C. He discovered his mistake. D. He became over-excited.

Many teens in high school want to try out for sports. A lot of them try out because they think it will make them popular or get them more dates. While this may seem like a silly reason, there are lots of other benefits to sports that your children may fail to notice.

With TV, movies, computers and video games becoming more and more popular, it has become so much easier for teens to be by themselves rather than going out with friends. Kids used to go hang out at the mall or drive around town; now they just sit at home. Getting your teens into a sport gives them a chance to go out and spend time with other people socially. While they may not find a new best friend, they will learn how to communicate with one another and work as a team and they’ll find something useful later in life.

More and more kids are becoming overweight. Joining a team sport will help teens get out and get some exercise without feeling pressured to lose weight or get in shape. What’s more, if your teens see that their physical condition is causing them to under-perform, they may be encouraged to do other activities to get healthy. By the time your children reach their teenager year, part of good parenting will be providing them with direction and encouragement and continuing to help them develop a healthy style of living.

These days, it’s becoming harder to show your teenagers that you love and support them. A great way to do this is by showing up to their game, helping them practice, and helping with team fundraisers. These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them.

You may think “but my teen isn’t good enough to make their school team”. There are plenty of other places besides school to play team sports. You can always check out “for-fun” teams. You could look into more unknown sports that you may not have thought of, did you know that bowling is a NCAA team sports If you do a little research, you’re sure to find something your teen will enjoy.

Team sports are a great way for teens to get out of the house, get moving, make friends, and even get a scholarship to college. So why not talk to them about getting into sports today

1.After joining a sport, children may___________.

A. lose weight without any pressure.

B. find little pressure in learning.

C. be forced to do some exercise.

D. be provided with good parenting.

2.What does the under lined word “this” refer to?

A. To help teens develop a healthy lifestyle.

B. To show love to your teens.

C. To enable teens to know more about new places.

D. To motivate teens to get healthy.

3.Why did the author write this passage?

A. To explain some non-competitive sports.

B. To encourage parents to join their children in sports.

C. To introduce the advantages of sports for teens.

D. To stress the importance of teamwork in sports.
