三、阅读理解
18. In a movie, a woman reads a storybook to her friend’s daughter. As they approach the last page, she reads, “...and Cinderella and the prince lived happily together ever after.” She closes the book and looks at the young girl, adding, “You know, things don’t always happen like this in real life. I just think you should know that now.”
We were all raised on fairy tales with glass slippers, brave princes and m agic! It didn’t take too long to realize that stories like that aren’t necessarily true. In the life, you learned that glass slippers are really uncomfortable, no prince is perfect and magic doesn’t always work.
So what do you do when the way you planned things is not the way they turned out?
Know that parts of your fairy tale have already been written, and sadly, there’s not a whole lot you can do about those first few chapters. You didn’t get the best start. Your trust was unexpec tedly betrayed. You didn’t get the job. Whatever falls and failures that happened in your past are just that in your past. There’s still more to the story. While your life has a lot of contributors（投稿者）, you are the editor-in-chief. You take w hat’s there and create the masterpiece. All the good pages and the bad can come together to make a beautiful adventure.
When you find yourself wishing your life was more like the fairy tales, remember that in some ways it already is. There will be dragons, bad witches, great romances, winding roads and friends to help you along the way. So, keep rewriting your story every day that you’re alive. Whether it’s a comedy, tragedy or a little of both, the pen is in your hand. How it all ends is up to you.
24. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To help the readers to live a good life.
B. To encourage the readers to write their own stories.
C. To advise parents to tell the fairy tale to their kids.
D. To describe the difficulti es in today’s education.
25.Which of the following may NOT often appear in the fairy tale?
A. Glass slipper.
B. Winding roads.
C. Sad ending.
D. Bad witches.
26.According to the fires paragraph, we know the woman is ________.
A. wise
B. cruel
C. brave
D. stupid
27.Why does the author mention the question in Paragraph 3?
A. To express the doubt to life
B. To compare different ideas.
C. To introduce a point for discussion.
D. To describe the conditions in life.
