Fairy tale(童话) fiction or not?

One hot debate topic from I Can I Bibi (《奇葩说》) has become popular on Weibo: Should parents tell their children that fairy tales are fake(假的)? Some people think we shouldn’t. Fairy tales give kids hope and teach life lessons. But others think that children need the ability to distinguish (区分) real from fake, and this role is best played by their parents. What’s your opinion?

YES

Hu Enqi, 16

There is no doubt that the world of fairy tales is beautiful, but the real world is cruel (残酷的). If children are always deep in fairy tales, they might not adjust(调节) themselves to society. That’s why there are so many “giant babies” in society. It is parents’ duty to tell children that beauty and darkness are coexistent(共存的). They need to be stronger to adapt to (适应) society.

Li Ziyi, 16

It’s important to tell kids the wisdom in fairy tales, not whether or not they’re fake. If I’m a parent, I will tell my kids: “Dear, the Queen’s poisoned apple is fake, but in our daily lives, fake apples may be many other seductions (诱惑) that you need to be careful of.” Fairy tales can never solve all problems. After all, dangers are always present in both fairy tales and reality (现实).

NO

Yuan Siyi, 16

Not every fairy tale is fake — they’re from our lives. The essence (本质) of fairy tales is to teach children the most basic truths based on the real world. The content of fairy tales is not meaningless. Parents could look on them as partners to children when they grow up. Children will understand the truth step by step.

Hu Pei, 16

As a kid bathed in fairy tales, I don’t want to be told that they are fake. Fairy tales get kids to read, help shape their world outlook, encourage their imaginations and give them entertainment. Even if parents tell the kids the cruel reality, they may miss the point. Instead, they may be filled with fear of the future and the world, which is not our purpose.

1.According to the passage, “the giant babies” are ___________.

A.those babies who can’t grow up B.those babies who are big in shape

C.those adults who can adapt to society well D.those adults who can’t distinguish real from fake

2.According to Li Ziyi, ___________.

A.we shouldn’t tell children fairy tales are fake

B.some fairy tales have wisdom while others don’t

C.there are many dangers in different shapes in reality

D.“poisoned apples” needn’t be afraid of because they are fake

3.From the passage, we can know _________.

A.in fairy tales everything is beautiful and good

B.fairy tales can give kids hope and teach life lessons

C.fairy tales have nothing to do with the real world

D.fairy tales mainly need to tell kids cruelty of reality

Nowadays, it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals (目标) that we set for ourselves. Luckily, we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and GetAbstract to provide abstracts (梗概) of a text. Abstracts are useful tools, especially for students, but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you, you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original (原来的) text of yourself.

I recently finished reading a thick book of W. Somerset Maugham's collected short stories. It took me around ten years to get through. Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read; Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me very bored most of the time. Reading a book, whether it is good or bad, is a formative (建设性的) experience. There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read. But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort.

Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it, I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia (怀旧之情) and pride. I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf. When I step back and look at the books on my shelf, it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived.

Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end, but reading the actual (真正的) book is something much richer. Reading, like anything else in life, is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination (目的地).

1.What does the writer mainly want to say?

A. Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature.

B. Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading.

C. Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages.

D. The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading.

2.What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph?

A. He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories.

B. A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him.

C. He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books.

D. He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book.

3.In the third paragraph the writer ___________ his main point of view (主要观点).

A. explains the meaning of B. provides further support for

C. makes a conclusion of D. offers an opposite example for

Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers， even adults， people make their friends based on proximity （邻近） more than anything else． Even in a college classroom，the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests． It's the people they really sit next to．Clearly，who stands to you has the greatest influence on you．As Jim Rohn has widely said． "You are average （平均） of five people you spend the most time with．"

Over the past ten months， I've paid Ryan， it Famous writer of several bestselling books， to help with the book I'm writing． Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are． For example， every time I send him a drab （草稿）， he shows me how it could be 10 times better，and he holds me to that standard．

It's because that I don't know what I don't know． Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful．

Like Ryan，my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have．He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers．He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years．Richard always performs at high levels，and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection （反映） on him． It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure （压力） to help me make great progress in organizing author training．

In a word，you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential．Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change．If you don't change your environment， your progress will be very slow． Who you stay with has huge importance． You can't ignore this．

1.Why did the writer quote （引用） Jim Rohn's words in Paragraph 1？

A.To support the writer's opinion． B.To introduce the writer's best friend．

C.To show Jim Rohn's working ability． D.To prove Jim Rohn is a great person．

2.Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3？

A.It's not that my workmates' abilities are low．

B.It's not that my working ability was born low．

C.It's not that' e friends based on proximity．

D.It's not that I've paid Ryan to help me with my book．

3.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to （指代）？

A.The writer's performance． B.Jim Rohn's famous saying．

C.Richard's different experience． D.Richard's strictness with the writer．

4.The writer mainly wants to tell us that　　　 　．

A.we can improve our working abilities by ourselves

B.we must pay attention to our talent and potential

C.we'd better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levels

D.we should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests

FUN WITH COOKIE

Paul: “I have been working for this company for ten years, however they chose the new guy for promotion (升职) over me.”

Julia: “Well, that’s just the way the cookie breaks into pieces.”

This is an informal expression that means bad things happen in life and there is nothing you can really do to prevent it. It’s not worth getting sad; you should just try and accept it calmly.

Of course in the UK we would generally use the word “biscuit” instead of cookie when talking about those hard baked, sweet, flat cakes which are so popularly eaten with a cup of tea. Cookie is originally a Dutch term meaning little cake and has spread to the United States because of immigration (移民) from Holland.

Also in the US we can find “fortune cookies” which are usually served with Chinese food. However they are almost unknown in mainland China and were invented in California by Asian immigrants. They are crisp cookies with pieces of paper inside, on which are written clever sayings, prophecies (预言) or words of wisdom.

A Cookie in computing is a collection of information which is used by websites to know users who have visited the site before. They are stored on your computer when you use the Internet, and also you will find the websites you used easily.

A cookie can also be a person. A tough cookie is unemotional (冷漠的) and a hard businessman while a smart cookie is sharp, clever and not easily fooled.

Biscuit and cookie is just one example of the difference between British and American words.
