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（出现) 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, 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. I find such people, I must say so peculiar（奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, 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.
The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.A. repeated without any change B. treated as a joke C. made some changes by the parent D. set in the present
According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.A. in a realistic setting B. heard for the first time C. repeated too often D. told in a different way
The advantage claimed（提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.A. makes them less fearful B. develops their power of memory C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.A. fairy stories are still being made up B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales C. people try to modernize old fairy stories D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.A. they are full of imagination B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth C. they are not interesting D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

Have you ever simply wanted to give without expecting anything in return？ It’s 21 to do. Most look for a reward in some way. I know I did, most of the time, but then a TV program of “Oprah” inspired me. She gave everyone in the audience $1,000 to spend on a complete__22__,accompanied by a video camera to _23 what they did with the money.
Two sisters from Georgia 24 from the crowd in my mind---they put their money together to give to “My sister’s House”, a 25 that helps battered（受虐的) women and children. Not only did they 26 their money, but they told everyone in their town about the organization. It was amazing that people were crazy to ring and 27 money, baby clothing, and more.
This story made me realize how often I expect things from others and how 28 I give things in return. I don’t have a thousand dollars to spend on a stranger, but I do have a heart that is full of love and generosity. I now hold doors open for others and 29 at people I don’t know, because a smile is contagious（有感染力的) and I try to bring as much happiness as I can into others’ lives. It’s difficult, but I feel it is really ___30 __.
A. hard B. easy C. simple D. hardly
A. countrymen B. stranger C. acquaintance D. friend
A. show B. record C. learn D. praise
A. stood up B. stood out C. stood by D. stood for
A. room B. house C. village D. shelter
A. spend B. divide C. combine D. separate
A. give B. bring C. donate D. take
A. often B. really C. simply D. rarely
A. sing B. cry C. smile D. laugh
A. rewarding B. awarding C. expecting D. giving -

上课了，老师说：“同学们，这节课我们来讨论一个问题，‘第一’和‘第二’的问题。”同学们都看着老师，一时不明白老师的意图。老师就问同学们：世界上第一高峰是哪座山峰？”大家哄堂大笑，大声回答道：“珠穆朗玛峰！”老师接着追问：“世界第二高峰呢？”这下同学们面面相觑，无人应声。于是老师又接着说道：“同学们，‘第一’和‘第二’究竟有什么不同呢？为什么你们都只记住了第一高峰，而不知道第二高峰呢？”听了老师的话，同学们陷入了沉思。
老师的话给了我们怎样的启示？我们又怎样对待“第一”和“第二”呢？

I was bleeding now. My ears were red, my nose was broken, and the pain of failure was beginning. I had lost. It was over. The match was stopped. The world seemed to stand still for a moment as I looked at who had beaten me. “I’ve lost,” I said in m mind. “The last chance to win and I had lost.” It was the final round of wrestling. It was my last year at camp and I wanted to have an undefeated season. But now, I had lost in the tournament（锦标赛）. My coach came over to help me up. He saw that my nose was broken and realized that the match had to be stopped. He helped me up and I got small applause from my teammates. People on the other team just stared. Coach walked me over to the locker room to work on my nose. “I’ll stop the bleeding,” Coach Matt said. His voice was cold and empty. He had expected me to win—he knew I could have won—but now he saw it was over. I had lost. “Hey, Steve. You did good, man, He, well, he just…” my friend Paul couldn’t find what to say. “Forget it, man.” I said, my nose still bleeding. “Don’t talk or it won’t stop bleeding. Just relax and breath through your mouth.” Coach Matt’s voice was still cold, but warming slowly. He was like a father to me. He had been there through all my years of wrestling, all my wins and losess , all my hopes and dreams—and now he was there, fixing my smashed nose. “This must have happened during that last throw. You fell too much on your face. You should’ve turned and tried to escape. You gotta think more.” Coach Matt began, his voice now warm like an old friend trying to give good advice. “I wanted this so badly.” I said. “Maybe we can get another contest because of the nose. You can still go undefeated! You can still do it…” Paul continued. No, I lost. Nothing was left for me to do this year. This was supposed to be the year—no loses.” I said, cutting him off before he finished. “Steve, you did your best. Come on. Let’s go and get your medal,” Coach said. He looked at me right in the eyes. “You gave it your all. You deserved that trophy（战利品), not the silver medal. You deserve it, but he is getting it. You really won and the whole team is proud.” I walked up to get my medal, my head held high. I shook the hands of the judges and my opponent, took m medal and saw that, in the eyes of everyone, I had really won. No matter what trophy or medal my opponent took home, no matter what. He may have had my trophy, but he could never have my will.
