17、in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairly 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,
18、 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.
19、As to fears, there are, in 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 faces and mastered.There are a
20、lso 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 histo
21、ry. I find such people, I must say so peculiar 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 girlfriend.No

24、lops their power of memoryC. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid ofD. encourages them not to have strange beliefs4. The authors mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is some misunderstanding about fairy talesC. peopl
25、e try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for childrens fears nowadays5.

26、 teachers of history difficult to teachBIn many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. So the idea that in 20 years time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport resear
27、chers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized, which will mean much sav
28、ing, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.According to Dr. David Davis , who leads the research
29、 team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air , and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. T
30、he car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.By 2010, Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists
31、a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the cars windscreen. And by 2020, cars will travel in convoy, linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road trains”. “The
32、 front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”6.We know from the passage that governments and car manufacturers _A. do not believe the predict
33、ion that no one will own cars by 2020B. are devoted to the technological revolution in car industryC. consider the predictions seriouslyD. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production7. Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2020?The car will speed up out of cont
34、rolWe will own as many cars as we want All cars will be driven by computersCars will produce more pollution than present ones8. The leader of the research team believes that the present car culture will change because_cars play a very important role in daily lifemany societies would stop functioning

40、e and female roles now. One is that both men and women have to stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.The second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.
