Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales, like “True love can overcome anything.” and “Even a frog can turn into a prince". However, at a certain age, we start to learn new things about life, especially that love doesn't always win, and that a frog is just a frog..

“Fairy tales have always been with us because they are the stories of our lives in their simplest form.” wrote US author Laura Packer on the National Storytelling Network website. “They are stories of love and loss, desire and death, riches and ruin.”

Fairy tales are all about reality (现实). But if children only see just one side of reality, adults usually see the other.

For example, in the 2014 film Maleficent, we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the eyes of the evil(邪恶的) queen. Unlike the children’s eyes of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t born evil. Instead, she is in a lot of troubles as she grows up, which leads to the creation of her “evil” side. And in US author James Finn Gamer’s book Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, he tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood, but with a modern version: When the wolf tells Red Riding Hood that it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through the woods alone, she calls the wolf sexist(性别歧视者), which relates to today’s opinions that girls aren't weaker than boys.

It seems that fairy tales aren't just stories that our parents read us at bedtime. They may usually start with "Once upon a time.” but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn't always need a "Happily ever after" to be a good one.

1.Which of the following is NOT a fairy tale?

A.The Frog Prince.

B.National Storytelling Network

C.Sleeping Beauty

D.Little Red Riding Hood.

2.According to Packer, why have fairy tales always been with us?

A.Because true love can overcome anything

B.Because they are full of imagination.

C.Because they always have happy endings.

D.Because they are about our lives in their simplest form.

3.What can we infer from the text?

A.A good fairy tale usually has a “Happily ever after”.

B.Adults usually see the other side of fairy tales.

C.Our understanding of fairy tales changes as we grow up.

D.Children and adults always enjoy different kinds of fairy tales.

4.The best title of the passage may be

A.The True Love of Fairy Tales

B.Learning Life Lessons

C.The Dark Side of Fairy Tales

D.Troubles in Fairy Tales

People are playing video games everywhere these days, whether they're riding a bus or sitting in a restaurant. Some of them enjoy these games so much that they can't put them down. But is this a healthy habit? The World Health Organization (WHO) doesn't think so. In June, it recognized“ gaming disorder(障碍)” as a mental disorder in its International Classification of Diseases, CNN reported.

"Gaming disorder means continuous or repeated video-gaming behavior, whether online or offline. Of course, not everyone who plays video games has this disorder. It has three main signs.

The first sign is when the player loses control over his or her gaming habits. The second is when playing games becomes more important than other activities for the player. The third is when the condition leads to serious problems in the player's personal and family life.

In fact, some countries are already working to solve this problem. South Korea has introduced a law banning (A iE) children under 16 from playing online games between midnight and 6 a.m., USA Today reported. Chinese tech company Tencent is also setting limits on the amount of time that teenagers can play its games. Children between 12 and 18 years old can only play two hours every day.

If you have “gaming disorder", you should ask for professional medical (E 7) help. But if your condition is not that serious, you don’t have to see a doctor. You can use delayed satisfaction to deal with it.

For example, if you want to play video games on weekdays, you can wait to play them during the weekend for three hours. Or if you really want to play them after school, you can tell yourself that you cannot do so until you have finished your homework.

1.According to the passage, which of the following persons may NOT have "gaming disorder"?

A.A person who loves playing video games with his friends.

B.A person who loses control over his or her gaming habits.

C.A person who thinks playing games is the most important.

D.A person who can't communicate well with his parents because of the game.

2.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

(①=Para.1②=Para2③=Para.3④=Para.4⑤=Para.5)

A.①:②③④⑤;⑥

B.①:②③;④⑤⑥

C.①②;③④;⑤⑥

D.①②③;④⑤;⑥

3.The underlined words in the passage mean 　　　　　　 in Chinese

A.延迟满足 B.及时满足 C.强制解除 D.循循善诱

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.Playing video games every day is a healthy habit.

B.In South Korea, children under 16 can play online games at midnight.

C.In China, children of 15 years old can play 2 hours every day at most.

D.If you have "gaming disorder, you can only ask for professional medical help.
