Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story 1 their children. And they must have 2 how difficult it is to write a 3 children’s book. Either the author has aimed too 4 ,so that children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 5 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are 6 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 7 who hears the story and the adult who 8 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 9 books like this, 10 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 11 to solve.
This may be why many of the books regarded as 12 of children’s literature were in fact written for 13 .“Alice in Wonderland”is perhaps the most 14 of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 15 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 16 and he will 17 willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 18 of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 19 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 20 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.

My sisters and I had cherished fine dreams of a home in the city, but when the Alcott family found itself in a small house at the South End with not a tree in sight, only a back yard to play in, and no money to buy any of the splendors before us, we children all rebelled and longed for the country again.
Anna soon found little pupils, and trudged away each morning to her daily task, pausing at the corner to wave her hand to me in answer to my salute with the duster. My father went to his classes at his room downstairs, mother to her all-absorbing poor, the little girls to school, and I, Louisa, was left to keep house, feeling like a caged seagull as I washed dishes and cooked in the basement kitchen where my prospect was limited to procession of muddy boots.
Good drill, but very hard, and my only consolation comfort was the evening reunion when all met with such varied reports of the day’s adventures, we could not fail to find both amusement and instruction.
Father brought news from the upper world, and the wise, good people who adorned it； mother, usually much dilapidated because she would give away her clothes, with sad tales of suffering and sin from the darker side of life； gentle Anna a modest account of her success as a teacher, for even at seventeen her sweet nature won all who knew her, and her patience quelled the most rebellious pupil.
My reports were usually a mixture of the tragic and the comic, and the children poured their small joys and woes into the family bosom where comfort and sympathy were always to be found.

Being not far from the sea, London is famous for its fogs. The worst of them happened on December 4,1952. All movements in the town came to a stop. It was almost impossible to drive or to ride in anything. The streets which led to the center were filled with buses that moved two miles an hour, soon the whole traffic was stopped. Being left by their drivers, the buses and cars stood empty in the streets. Many who usually traveled by bus took the underground. But there were so many people there that the gates to the underground had to be closed. Being caught in the fog people felt their way along their walls of houses with one hand, while they put out the other in front of them so as not to knock against something or somebody.

Buying insurance is a way in which people can protect themselves against large losses. Protection against fire is one kind of insurance. Large numbers of people pay small sums of money to an insurance company. Although thousands of people have paid for fire insurance, only a few will lose their homes by fire. The insurance company will pay for these homes out of the small sums of money it had collected.
The first modern fire insurance company was formed in London in the 1740s. A great fire had just destroyed most of the city and people wanted protection against further losses. The first company grew rapidly. Some other companies were founded in other areas.
Benjamin Franklin helped form the first fire insurance company in America in 1752, and then a new kind of insurance for farmers was suggested. The new insurance would provide protection against the loss of crops from storms.
Later on another new insurance company was started in America. This company, which offered life insurance, collected small sums of money regularly from many different men. If a man died, his family was given a large sum of money.
Over the years, insurance companies have offered new kinds of insurance protection. The new kinds of insurance cover from such accidents as car and plane crashes. Today, most people have some kind of insurance.

While it is impossible to live completely free of stress（压力）, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cannot be avoided. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
Try Physical Activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try to let off the pressure through exercise of physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve（减轻）your anxiety and worry and help you to relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.
Share Your Stress
It helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you get a better view of what is troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might look for professional help from a psychologist（心理学家）or a doctor. Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.
Take Care of Yourself
You should make every effort to fit well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep very well, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress keeps repeatedly getting you to sleep badly, you should visit a doctor.
Make Time for Yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment(娱乐). Don’t forget that play can be just as important to your overall well-being(健康)as work. You need a break from your daily routine(惯例) just to relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
Make a List of the Things You Need to Do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that there’s so much to do, and not enough time. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important task at first.
Go Ahead and Cry
A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief(减轻)of your anxiety(负担)—it might even help you avoid a headache or other physical effect of anxiety or stress.
9. What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To have more people cry out.
B. To help solve the problem of stress.
C. To release his or her working pressure.
D. To reduce his or her anxiety.
10. Physical activity can help people release stress in that .
A. only your body movement can help you relax
B. your body and mind can work together in releasing stress
C. your mind can work better to free you from anxiety
D. it can always play an important part in reducing nervousness
11. What is the similar thing between“Share Your Stress”and“Go Ahead and Cry”?
A. They both need physical movement.
B. They both help you let out your feelings.
C. They can help you live an orderly life.
D. They both require mental relaxation.
12. The sentence “Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything.”is close to the meaning of .
A. Quietness wins time B. Practice makes perfect
C. Strike while the iron is hot D. More hurry, less speed

On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple received a very special telephone call. It was only a 20-second call but it was very important. The Hardens’ 15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before. On Christmas Eve she rang them.
“I’m phoning to wish a happy Christmas,”she said.“I love you.”
Ronals and Edwine Harden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called“Alive and Well”.The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have run away from home.
Young people can phone“Alive and Well”and leave a message for their parents. The telephones are answered by answering machines, so no one can speak to the child or make him return home. Parents of run-away children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home, so children do not want to tell their parents where they are. Through“Alive and Well”they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses.
The Hardens and their helpers write down the tape-recorded telephone messages and connect the address given. Many of the 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London.
