◎供稿：桃 子

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story 1 their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a 2 children’s book. Either the author has1)aimedtoo 3 , so that children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 4 the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children’s books are 5 very difficult nor very simple, and2)satisfythe

6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it.3)Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, 8 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 9 to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as 10 of children’s4)literaturewere in fact written for 11 . “Alice in Wonderland” is perhaps the most5)obviousof this.

Children, left for themselves, often 12 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a 13 and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at the most children’s6)comics,full of the stories and jokes which are the7)rejectionsof teachers and righting-thinking parents.

Perhaps we parents should stop 14 to8)brainwashchildren into accepting our taste in literature. After all, children and adults are so 15 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we'll just have to9)compromiseover the bedtime story.

【语篇解读角】

本文说明了写一本供孩子读的好书并非一件容易的事，并且告诫家长不要一味强迫孩子接受大人的观点，因为孩子和大人在兴趣方面不尽相同。本文具有一定的教育意义。

【答案详析】

1. A。read to somebody 意为“读给某人听”，to后面接动作的对象。

2. D。根据下文可知，存在的困难在于如何把孩子们的书写好。故选 good。

3. C。书中的内容让孩子们无法理解，说明作者的目标定得高。故选 high。

4. C。与前文either对应，这里应用or。“either…or”意义为“要么……要么……”。

5. B。与下半句的nor 对应，这里应用neither。“neither…nor…”意为“既不……也不……”。

6. A。satisfy的宾语除了读故事的成年人以外，当然就是听故事的孩子。故选child。

7. D。孩子听的故事越来越少，家长把讲故事当成读故事。故选reads。

8. C。前后两句形成因果关系，所以应用so引导结果状语从句。

9. B。上文讲好书越来越少，说明去发现好书并非是容易的事。故选easy。

10. D。名词 works 意为“作品”。

11. A。根据后面所举的例子以及文意，现在被认为是孩子们读的作品，实际上是为成年人所写的。故选grown-ups。

12. B。show interest in something 意为“对……感兴趣”。

13. D。孩子们选书的地点一般是书店或图书馆。故选library。

14. C。try to do something 意为“设法做某事”，符合当今社会实际情况，为正确选项。
