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 bo ok.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 are6 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy 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 Wonerland ” is perhaps the most 14 of this.
Children ,left for themselves, often 15 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a 16 and he will 17 willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at the 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 the bedtime story.

As the bus came near the Mile, a 5 suddenly rang out “ 6 !This is your driver speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your papers down. All of you.” The 7 came down. “Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go 8 .”

In the 19th century, Charles Dickens, the English novelist, wrote excitedly of a carriage, pulled along by a team of horses, that could 1 more than twenty miles of road 2 sixty minutes. To us in the twenty-first century, in which man is able to move and communicate so rapidly, the 3 of the carriage seems nothing at all. Planes fly many hundreds of miles in an hour. And even without 4 ,we can, by wireless or telephone, communicate within 5 with people on the other side of the 6 .
The benefits of the these increased speeds are countless. Businessmen say travelling from Europe to America can 7 much time, for the journey that would once have taken weeks 8 now, by air, only
twenty-four hours. Members of one family separated from each other by long 9 can have talks with each other by telephone as 10 as if they were sitting in the same room.
Not all the effects of speed, 11 , are beneficial. People who are in the 12 of using a motor car 13 they want to move half a mile become lazy and 14 the power of enjoying an active 15 . Those who travel through a country at eighty miles an hour do not 16 much of the life to that country as they 17 .They become 18 anxious about moving quickly from one 19 to another that they are 20 able to relax and enjoy a happy journey.

Education is not an end but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children 1 for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life. 2 we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to 3 a system of education which will really prepare children for life.
In many modern countries it has 4 been accepted that ,by free education for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid – one can solve 5 of society and build a 6 nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not 7 : we find in such countries 8 people with university degrees than 9 jobs for them to do Because of their degrees, they refuse to do 10 “low” work.
But we have only to think 11 to understand that the wok of a completely uneducated 12 is far more important than 13 : we can live 14 education, but we 15 if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the 16 away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are. 17 because everyone is ashamed to do such work ,the scientists have to waste much of their
time doing 18 .
In fact, 19 we say that all of us must be educated to fit 20 for life, it means that we must be educated 21 that each of us can do whatever job 22 him, and that we can realize that all jobs are 23 to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed to do one’s work, or to laugh at 24 .Only such a type of education can be 25 valuable to society.

Czech is one of the countries with the most acid rains and large areas of 10 are made
only 11 dead trees.
Is there 12 that can be done about acid rain? Mr Cook says: “The rain13 of acid rain is 14 power stations to install filters that 15 the acid getting out into the air. Here in Britain, the only 16 that has been taken is that the chimneys are built 17 so that the pollution is more spread.” If the petrol used in motor vehicles 18 lead-free ,then it would be possible to filter waste air which are a 19 cause of pollution, But the filter equipment cannot work 20 the lead is removed.
