On the one hand, the writer has aimed too high 42 children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her ) story. On the other hand, the story seems to be talking 43 the adults isntead of children.The best children’s books are 44 very difficult nor very simple, and meet the needs of the child who hears the story and the adults who 45 it. Sadly, however, there are in fact 46 books like this, so the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not easy to solve. This may be why many of the books condiered as works of children’s literature were in fact written for adults. ― Alice in Wonderland‖ is perhaps one of the examples of this.Children 47 often show the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookstore or a 48 and he would like to choose the books written in a different way. Or just take a look at the most childrten’s cartoons, full of the stories and jokes which are not the same a things we think.Perhaps we parents should stop 49 to get children into accepting our taste in books we read. 50 children and adults are so different that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to think further and talk about more when it comes to the bedtime story.41. A. short B. long C. good D. bad42. A. so that B. in order to C. such that D. such as43.

One is a king on a planet with no other people. Another is a businessman who thinks he owns the stars.In the end, the Prince seems to die. But because he is kind, he pretends that it is only his body that is dying. His mind will travel back to his home on the planet. This saves the pilot from the feeling that there’s no hope.What can the strange story mean ? It seems too hard to understand. But the more you think about the story, the more meaning it has. The people the Prince meets on his travel stand for different kinds of foolishness among people on the earth. Although the Prince dies, his heart is a good one and he is kind.
