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.

- 1 -

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,

towheaded

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.

24

．

The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ________.

A

．

repeated without any change

B

treated as a joke

C

set in the present

．

According

the

passage,

great

in a realistic setting

B

．

heard for the first time

C

．

repeated too often

Winter-swimming

has

become

popular

in

Beijing.

Three

years

ago,

few

people

would

go

swimming

in

the

city

waters.

But

now

there

is

a

Winter-swimming

Enthusiasts’ Club(

冬泳爱好者协会

)and it has more than 2, 000 members. The oldest is

84 years of age and the youngest is only 7. The members are from all ways of life. They

may be workers, peasants, soldiers, teachers, students....

Though it is now the coldest part of the season and the water temperature in the

city’s

lakes

is

around

0°C,

many

winter

-swimmers

still

swim

in

the

icy

waters,

even

when it is snowing. They enjoy themselves in the lake, while the people by the side of

the lake are wearing heavy clothes.

Why

are

so

many

people

interested

in

winter-swimming?

Because

winter-

swimming can be good for one’s health.

Bei

Sha is

a good example. He is

69

years old,

and he once suffered from

heart

trouble

for

26

years.

After

ten

years

of

winter- swimming

he

is

now

in

good

health.

Scientists are now studying the effects of winter-swimming on health.

32. Among the winter-swimmers the oldest man is ____ years older than the youngest
