Parents in the U.S. are claiming the popular children’s TV show Peppa Pig has caused their kids to start speaking in a British accent. The cartoon follows the life of a pig, Peppa, and her family as they go about their day-to-day life in a fictional U. K. town made up of various animal families.

One parent wrote online: “My 4-year baby girl loves watching Peppa Pig and I have noticed her accent and grammar is extraordinary. I’d like to thank Peppa Pig for the slight yet adorable British accent my toddler (幼儿) is acquiring.” added by another parent. A third parent wrote: “The most entertaining aspect of my life right now is that my toddler now speaks with a British accent.”
Writer Janet Manley called it the “Peppa effect”. Janet revealed that immediately after her daughter’s first time watching the show two years ago, she started calling her “mummy”. Her daughter also began snorting at the end of her sentences, just like the cartoon pig. And the “Peppa effect” isn’t anything new. Parents have been discussing about it for a number of years.

How do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.
It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.
What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea, a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.
Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.
1.Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?
A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.
B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.
C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.
D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.
2.Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.
A. are given a difficult test B. make friends with foreigners
C. wish to be a princess or prince D. are going to lie to their parents
3.The author writes the text mainly to ________.
A. introduce some fairy tales
B. talk about the history of fairy tales
C. discuss how to improve human relationships
D. show how fairy tales help children shape values

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Kenya’s long-distance runners are among the best in the world. Is their food and daily routine (常规) a key to the secret of their success? We spent a week at a training camp with ten top athletes (运动员) to find out. This is what we discovered.
They eat five times a day:
08:00 Breakfast
10:00 Mid-morning snack
13:00 Lunch
16:00 Afternoon snack
19:00 Supper
The Kenyan runners’ food is based on bread, rice, potatoes, porridge, cabbage, beans and ugali (balls of cornmeal). Ugali is usually eaten with vegetables.
Meat is eaten in fairly small amounts, just four times a week. The athletes drink a lot of tea with milk and sugar. They get all the vitamins (维生素) they need from their food — they never take vitamin pills.
They usually train as a group twice a day. The first run is at 6 o’clock in the morning and the afternoon run is at 5 o’clock. They run 10 to 15 kilometres in the morning and 6 to 8 kilometres in the afternoon. Once a week, the two 1,500-metre runners in the group run shorter distances at higher speeds.
An amazing part of the Kenyan food is its richness in carbohydrates (碳水化合物). Every 24 hours, they have about 600 grams of carbohydrates to give them energy for their training. They only eat a little fat, most of it coming from the milk they have in their tea. They drink about a litre (升) of water every day. Surprisingly, they drink more than a litre of tea every day, too. They always eat soon after training.
Rest and sleep are also an important part of the athletes’ programme. They are always in bed early and they always get a good night’s sleep.
1.Why did the author go to the training camp?
A.To improve his running. B.To report who are the best runners.
C.To learn from the athletes’ good habits. D.To find out why the athletes do so well.
2.What do we know about the first group run of the day?
A.It starts at midmorning. B.It happens before breakfast.
C.It is shorter than the second run. D.It is led by two 1,500-metre runners.
3.What surprised the author about the athletes?
A.They drink a lot of tea. B.They eat five times a day.
C.They never take vitamin pills. D.They take in a lot of milk and sugar.
