A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy 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, so much the better.

A change 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. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现) 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 faced and mastered.

There also 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 history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的)that I don’t 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 girl-friend.

No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

1.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is______.

2.According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is____.

3.The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that______.

4.One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that_____.

My first visit to Angkor Wat was in 1980. The country had been at war for many years and the temple was deserted and falling to pieces. Plants were growing out of the roofs, and trees were growing in the courtyards.

Today, the temple is the scene of a busy repair programme. A team of 15 Indian experts are organizing a workforce of 400 Cambodians, most of them women, who are cleaning, repairing and rebuilding parts of this temple.

As I walked through the courtyards, I noticed the Cambodian women devote hours to cleaning carefully a tiny area of stone. Boards are laid down to protect the precious painted stones while the repair work is going on. There are very few machines and little heavy equipment. Workers carry building materials in buckets at the end of long poles. Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard, waiting to be replaced.

The work of cleaning the stones is watched over by three Indian chemists. It is a very slow task. First they clean the stones with brushes using buckets of a weak chemical. Then gaps between the stones are filled in. Finally another material is painted onto the stones which will protect them from water forever.

Work starts every day at 7 a. m. and goes on until late afternoon six days a week, with a break at midday.

Evening is the best time to visit the temple, after the tour groups have left. As the sun sinks lower, shadows spread across the courtyard. After sunset, the sky turns pink. The grey stone towers take on a golden colour before turning pink. Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quiet, beautiful place.

1.This passage mainly tells__________

A. the poor look of the temple Angkor Wat in 1980.

B. the history of the temple Angkor Wat

C. the repair work being done to the temple Angkor Wat

D. the difficulty in the repair work

2.According to the author, which of the following plays the least important role in the repair work?

A. The women workers.　　 B. The Indian workers

C. Machines　　 D. Skilled workers

3.The underlined sentence “the temple was deserted” possibly means that________

A. there was no one in the temple and it was in a poor state

B. the temple was built on desert and nobody noticed it

C. the temple was very old with a long history

D. the temple was repaired by the Cambodians, most of whom women

4.To clean the stone, how many steps should be followed?

C. Four　　 D. Five

Online ticketing has been effective for the London theatre market． The advantages coming with it are many， but four in particular stand for the true value． They are accessibility，speed，advanced planning and avoiding the queues．

Accessibility is key from the viewpoint of both the theatre and the theatre goer Theatres need to be able to reach out to the public． A show may have a market of millions if they concentrate efforts in London only，but that number will increase to tens of millions if efforts expand nationwide．

From the point of view of a theatre lover， the fact that the West End，the central part of London is accessible to someone in Edinburgh is a major attraction． Most theatre lovers would be anxious to go to a West End play or musical，and securing tickets for their favourite show online allows them to realize that strong desire with ease． Making the journey to London and staying for a weekend is an added reward to the main event．

Another， advantage is speed， with securing tickets now． taking a matter of minutes． What is needed is a few minutes on the Internet， the﹣ relevant personal and credit card details， and a booking number with which to collect the tickets at the theatre on the night．

Of course， for tourists or professionals from out of town， Internet booking has made， it possible to arrange entertainment． for a specific evening well in advance． Occupying their time after conference ﹣hours can be a challenge for professionals． With tickets secured in advance， the plan can be made much clearer． Tourists， meanwhile， may include a night on the West End on ﹣their list of things to do． Booking before even arriving in the﹣city helps to． streamline their busy touring schedule．

The fourth advantage of buying London theatre tickets online is the fact that queuing is avoided．

It is perhaps the most unpleasant aspect of the traditional visit to the box． office， particularly when demand for Dirty Dancing tickets， for example， can﹣have a person waiting for hours before even reaching the box office window， even worse the sold out sign would suddenly appear before him．

These advantages reflect the true value of that mode of online ticketing． It has pleased the theatre lovers， expanding theatre markets． It is likely to bring more and more benefit to the theatre world．

1.What is the passage mainly about？

A. The reality of theatre market in London．

B. The appearance of online entertainment．

C. The benefits of buying theatre tickets online．

D. The arrangements of spending a day in London．
