PETS5真实考题-2012-12
听力1、判断：fiber 、men 、women、Soluble Fiber？According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, adults in the United States consume about half of the recommended intake for fiber. Since fiber plays a role in weight management, lack of dietary fiber may be one cause of high rates of overweight and obesity in the United States. A study published in a 2010 edition of the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” found that higher fiber intakes help prevent weight and waist-circumference gains.Fiber Guidelines, MenMen require more fiber than women, since they generally require more calories each day to maintain a healthy body weight. Adequate intake levels, or minimum daily requirements, for fiber are based on a man’s age. Older adults require less fiber because ca lorie requirements decrease with age. According to the Institute of Medicine, adequate intake levels for fiber are 38 grams per day for men ages 19 to 50 and 30 grams of fiber each day for men ages 50 and older.Fiber Guidelines, WomenFederal fiber guidelines for women are slightly lower than for men. Adequate fiber intake levels are 25 grams per day for women ages 19 to 50 and 21 grams of fiber per day for those ages 50 and older, according to the Institute of Medicine. Women older than age 49 require less fiber because they require fewer calories each day for weight maintenance.Soluble FiberSoluble fiber plays a role in reducing high cholesterol levels and heart disease risks. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, men and women should consume at least 5 to 10 grams of soluble fiber each day and preferably 10 to 25 grams to help lower high LDL cholesterol levels. Soluble fiber is mainly found in oats, barley, psyllium seeds, fruits and legumes. High-Fiber FoodsMany high-fiber foods contain soluble and insoluble fiber, which are both beneficial for weight management. High-fiber foods can increase satiety and help you feel full for a longer period of time. A 2005 review article published in the journal “Nutrition” reports that incre asing high-fiber foods can improve weight-loss success and help achieve a healthy body weight. High-fiber foods include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds.2、单选：3、填空：一个人在某非营利组织工作；donation Czech Republic win-win situation听力part C 全文When people say that I invented the Donors Message Service (DMS) that raises money for charity, it’s easy to get the wrong idea. The texting technology was already there, it was just my idea to use it in a new way. Premium rate SMS or text messaging is used for buying ring tones or voting via text. My idea was to use the same tools to get Czechs to give money to charity. Because ofcommunism, we didn’t have much of a charitable tradition here. But last year, through sending DMSs, Czechs donated Kc38m (about ₤920,000) to dozens of different non-profit groups. As far asI know, the Czech Republic is the only country in the world where you can send a text message asa way of giving to charity.Here’s how I got the idea. Six or seven years ago, when I was working at a non-profit organisation concerned with corporate social responsibility, I attended a conference in Budapest on Africa, Aids and public health. I wanted to visit a particular seminar, but it was full when I arrived. So I went into another room, not knowing the topic. It was a seminar on individual giving, and I almost left. At that time, there was almost no donating by individuals in my country. We in the non-profit sector had been focused on raising money from institutional foundations such as Soros, and on state grants for NGOs. But we had almost no experience with individual giving, and most of us thought it could never work in eastern Europe.As it turned out, in just one hour this seminar completely changed my thinking. The seminar lead er, an American, asked us: ”In the last two months, how many of you supported a charity?” Almost no one raised their hand. Then he asked why nobody had made a donation. No one had an answer. He turned a sheet on a flip chart. It showed that 85 per cent of people said they didn’t support a charity because they were never asked.This got me thinking of ways to make it really simple for Czechs to make donations. I wondered if we could collect donations via text message, which is quick and easy and a new technology that young people will use.So I started to discuss this with the main wireless providers in the Czech Republic. They agreed to set up a single number to which people could send an SMS and make donations to a variety of charities, big and small. They included a group that helps young gay prostitutes and another that feeds hungry children. The mobile operators recognised it’s a win-win situation and agreed to take money only for overheads and forego their profits. We set a very modest price, Kc30 (72 pence), which anyone can give.The programme really took off in 2004, when a terrible storm hit the High Tatra mountains in Slovakia, which is a favourite holiday destination for Czechs. Trees were toppled everywhere, and Czechs really wanted to help. Some TV programmes started putting out the name of a group that was doing recovery work, and explained how people could donate to them via DMS. Suddenly, people discovered the DMS, and in the end the Czechs collected far more money than the Slovaks.When the programme started I guessed it would work if one million DMSs could be sent every year - that would mean one for every 10 people in the Czech Republic. Last year, Czechs sent 1.5 million DMSs, so it’s a big success. Now we’re talking with groups in Slovak ia, Bulgaria, Germany and the UK about setting up similar programmes.I was 23 when the Velvet revolution happened. It was an incredibly exciting time for all of us. Myformal education had been in teacher training, and in the 1990s I got involved with groups that were working to modernise Czech schools and teaching methods. For a time, I worked at the Czech Education Ministry, where I was in charge of European Structural Funds. Over the past 10 years, I’ve been overseeing people and budgets, and I realise d at some point that I needed to get proper training in management. So last year I enrolled in an executive MBA programme. It’s an external course, and I enjoy it, but I’ve been participating in seminars and educational programmes for years, so it’s not re ally a big change.One of the most satisfying moments for me was when a friend who has a pub told me about a group of men who had come in. They were sitting at their table and drinking beer and talking about their wives and football. All of a sudden, some one said: ”Let’s go - we’ll have a cigarette and send some DMSs.” Five or six guys stood up and went outside and smoked their cigarettes, and then, just like in a hockey match, they did a countdown, and hit ”send” on their mobile phones all at once. They were sending DMSs to help the victims of the Asian tsunami. I was really moved when I heard that story.完型阅读1、常规阅读：AB printable articleOriginally published December 31 2007RIAA Declares Using Brain to Remember Songs is Criminal Copyright Infringement (satire)by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor(NaturalNews Satire) On the heels of the RIAA's recent decision to criminalize consumers who rip songs from albums they've purchased to their computers (or iPods), the association has now gone one step further and declared that "remembering songs" using your brain is criminal copyright infringement. "The brain is a recording device," explained RIAA president Cary Sherman. "The act of listening is an unauthorized act of copying music to that recording device, and the act of recalling or remembering a song is unauthorized playback."The RIAA also said it would begin sending letters to tens of millions of consumers thought to beillegally remembering songs, threatening them with lawsuits if they don't settle with the RIAA by paying monetary damages. "We will aggressively pursue all copyright infringement in order to protect our industry," said Sherman.In order to avoid engaging in unauthorized copyright infringement, consumers will now be required to immediately forget everything they've just heard -- a skill already mastered by U.S. President George Bush. To aid in these memory wiping efforts, the RIAA is teaming up with Big Pharma to include free psychotropic prescription drugs with the purchase of new music albums. Consumers are advised to swallow the pills before listening to the music. The pills -- similar to the amphetamines now prescribed for ADHD -- block normal cognitive function, allowing consumers to enjoy the music in a more detached state without the risk of accidentally remembering any songs (and thereby violating copyright law).Consumers caught humming their favorite songs will be charged with a more serious crime: The public performance of a copyrighted song, for which the fines can reach over $250,000 per incident. "Humming, singing and whistling songs will not be tolerated," said Sherman. "Only listening and forgetting songs is allowed."Consumers attempting to circumvent the RIAA's new memory-wiping technology by actually remembering songs will be charged with felony crimes under provisions of the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act). The Act, passed in 1998, makes it a felony crime to circumvent copyright protection technologies. The RIAA's position is that consumers who actually use their brains while listening to music are violating the DMCA. "We would prefer that consumers stop using their brains altogether," said Sherman.With this decision, the RIAA now considers approximately 72% of the adult U.S. population to be criminals. Putting them all in prison for copyright infringement would cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $683 billion per year -- an amount that would have to be shouldered by the remaining 28% who are not imprisoned. The RIAA believes it could cover the $683 billion tab through royalties on music sales. The problem with that? The 28% remaining adults not in prison don't buy music albums. That means album sales would plummet to nearly zero, and the U.S. government (which is already deep in debt) would have to borrow money to pay for all the prisons. And where would the borrowed money come from? China, of course: The country where music albums are openly pirated and sold for monetary gain.When asked whether he really wants 72% of the U.S. population to be imprisoned for ripping music CDs to their own brains, RIAA president Sherman shot back, "You don't support criminal behavior do you? Every person who illegally remembers a song is a criminal. We can't have criminal running free on the streets of America. It's an issue of national security."NOTE: This is a satire report on the RIAA. That means it's written as fictional humor. It does not yet represent the actual position of the RIAA, although from the way things are going, the association may soon adopt it. Permission is granted to make copies of this story, redistribute it,post it and e-mail it (please provide proper credit and URL) as long as you do not actually remember it because copying to your brain is now strictly prohibited. Any attempts to circumvent the memory-based copyright restrictions on this article will result in your brain imploding, causing such an extreme loss of cognitive function that your only hope for any future career will be running for public office.C2、选段填空：简单些；名词复现基本可以解4题Global warming is unlike any crisis humanity has faced before, but we are better equipped to deal with it than many of us realise, says Spencer WeartWHEN my mother learned she was pregnant with me, my parents sat down one Sunday morning to review their finances. Turning on the radio for a little light music, they pencilled some calculations for the savings they would need to make to pay for my college education. The music paused for an announcement that Japanese airplanes were attacking Pearl Harbor. The notes went into the wastebasket.Such was life back then: surprised repeatedly by wars and revolutions, by the rise and collapse of ideologies like fascism and communism, and by periods of raging inflation and catastrophic depression, few could confidently predict what their lives would be like even a decade ahead.Not so today. For all the upheaval of the past half-century, this has been by far the most tranquil period ever. Unlike any of their forebears, a majority of the world's young adults have good reason to develop plans for their old age. They know they will probably live to see the greenhouse-warmed planet of the late 21st century.As such, global warming poses an unprecedented problem. For the first time in history, we have learned with scientific precision of grave calamities in store, and find we must change the very basis of the world economy. The remarkable thing is that our society appears to be responding.This also is unprecedented: never in history have people roused themselves against such a distant threat. Millions of people and whole governments are addressing the issue. Even in the US army, senior officers are studying the implications for their organisation and looking for ways to reduce emissions. All this suggests that the pessimists who claim humanity is unable to rise to the challenge have got it wrong.Of course, it is no use having a long-term perspective without the means to do something about it. Fortunately, our social and political mechanisms are progressing swiftly. Our civilisation has grown more stable not only because scientific advances have doubled life expectancy, but also because we have multiplied our capacity to store, transmit and analyse information. Since 1990 both the volume and speed of traffic on the internet have doubled every two years or less. We are also much better informed than a generation ago about how society works.The past century has brought social progress as dramatic as that in industry. Economic stability, for example, is no accident: it is engineered by an international network of central banks, steadily expanding their cooperation. Non-governmental organisations provide new services, from the certification of "fair trade" coffee to secret cash transfers. In 1948, the UN formally consulted with 41 NGOs; it now consults with more than 1600.This growth is driven not only by better communications and new ideas, but more importantly by the spread of democracy. Half the world's population now lives under democratic government. It is almost exclusively in these nations that the new cooperative institutions have been created.Almost every week we see these powerful tools applied in novel ways. Consider what happened recently when Texas power company TXU revealed plans to build a dozen coal-fired plants that would emit vast amounts of carbon dioxide. An alliance of environmentalist NGOs spotlighted the development on the internet. Meanwhile, an international financial consortium took an interest. After intense negotiations, the consortium won the environmentalists' public blessing to buy TXU by promising to sharply reduce the planned emissions. The NGOs held no political office and wielded no investment billions; their power came from the skilful organisation of a million mouse clicks.Most unexpected of all is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The IPCC was created by conservatives to forestall "alarmist" declarations from self-appointed committees of scientists. Governments committed the IPCC to repeated rounds of study and debate, forbidding any announcement except by unanimous consensus. It seemed a sure formula for paralysis. However, the power of democratic methods, combined with rational argument, overcame all obstacles. The IPCC has evolved into a robust transnational institution that provides authoritative conclusions of grave significance. It is, again, unprecedented.These developments are nowhere near enough to guarantee we can meet the challenge of climate change. Time is short and the prospect of even partial success remains uncertain. Yet we can avoid catastrophe by mobilising our ingenuity and community spirit. Addressing global warming will require less sacrifice than defeating fascism and communism, but more foresight -- and that is exactly what we have been acquiring. If humanity's track record with long-term problems shows mostly indifference and failure, that need not set a precedent for our future.3、快速阅读：内容是四种型号的汽车，只有一道题有明显的专有名词可以定位写作250词计划生育（family-planning policy：continue/modify）Your opinion，理由support your argument口语：PETS5口语（黄色，小封面，外教出版社），我的：1、家乡；学校与专业；考pets5的目的2、Job satisfaction（paid holidays、sense of achievement、opportunity of promotion……）3、有没有必要在发达地区推行12年义务教育？（同伴：why导致肥胖的原因）其他：第二部分是低碳生活。

Fiber is so important to health that the US Food and Nutrition Board recently said the first recommended daily intakes. Men up to age 50 require 38 grams of fiber daily: women need 25 grams. Men and women over 50 should get 30 grams and 21 grams respectively. But why does the US Food and Nutrition Board issue the guidelines now? Because the research on fiber keeps piling up. Studies show that certain fibers lower blood pressure and normalize blood sugar, and of course, help with regularity. Since fiber slows digestion and makes you feel full, it may be the ticket to slim down. As for cancer, the jury is still out on fiber’s role in protecting colon, but eating more fiber-rich foods won’t hurt. Of course, the best way to get your fiber is to eat whole foods, such as vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds. But how much do you need to meet recommended levels? According to Doctor Anderson’s research, it will take a minimum of 6 servings of fruits and veggies and 3 servings of whole grains daily to reach the recommendations. If you fall below that lofty goal, he says, you are a good candidate for a fiber supplement. In particular, people with high blood pressure and high blood sugar can benefit from extra fiber. If people who took medicine to lower their blood sugar level, ate a fiber-rich diet and took a soluble fiber supplement daily, 1 quarter could go off their medication. That’s a pretty powerful statement. Just be sure to talk to your doctor before stopping any drug therapy. Selecting a fiber supplement from the dozens on the shelves seems like impossible task, but we can help you cut down your choices or we can provide you with alternative solutions. For example, you can just mix fiber-rich wholly serial with milk. But to lower your blood sugar level, reach for a soluble fiber supplement. As far as our research is concerned,there is no evidence that man-made fiber lowers blood pressure or blood sugar levels like other natural fiber products. To avoid common side-effect, such as gas, start with a low fiber dose and slowly walk your way up and insoluble fiber works well for people with irritable bowel syndrome, because it doesn’t cause gas. It will help with regularity but it won’t lower blood pressure or blood sugar like soluble fiber. For all fiber supplements, follow the package directions. You must take the majority of fiber products with a full glass of water. Start with a single dose and walk up to twice daily if needed. Fiber supplements won’t block absorption of most medications. But to be safe, we recommend taking fiber supplements either 2 hours before or after your medication, especially those feel heart or blood pressure. That’s all a-bout fiber. Do you have any questions?You will hear a talk by Prof Wilson, a health expert, on the importance of fiber in our daily diet. As you listen, answer Questions 1 to 10 by circling TRUE or FALSE.

Today, let’s look at a new idea of building a special greenhouse in Massachusetts. Green houses in cold climates need a lot of heating. This is expensive. Power stations produce a lot of hot air that is dumped to the atmosphere. This is wasteful. Doctor Berd Johnson, a researcher of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has connected these two facts and proposes to do something about them. He observes that power stations tend to be built far from cities and to be surrounded by wasteland. He suggests building greenhouses on this land and pumpingin the exhaust from the power station. Such greenhouses could be used to grow fruit, vegetables and flowers cheaply. Not only will the exhausts keep the plants warm, it might also fertilize them. Carbon dioxide, the results of burning fuel is, together with water and sunlight, the raw material of photosynthesis. More of it in the air makes plants grow faster. Dr. Johnson is working on the idea in collaboration with Cowpin cooperation, a power company based in San Jose California. Cowpin has a great delight in building pilot greenhouse. Next one of it is natural gas power generating plants, probably, the one in Dayton Massachusetts. The exhaust will be mixed with normal air to cool it from 130 degrees centigrade, the temperature at which it leaves the power station to about 20 degrees centigrade. The temperatures are preferred by tomatoes. Dr. Jonson wants to use a gas-burning rather than a coal or oil-burning plant because the exhaust produced by burning natural gas is free from sulfur dioxide, which plants hate. If this idea works, the term “greenhouse gas” may take on a whole new meaning. Electricity companies could soon be growing tomatoes as a sideline.11．Why does Dr. Johnson suggest building a greenhouse near a power station?A．It is convenient to get electricity.B．It helps to clean the air.C．The exhaust from the plant can be made use of.D．The wasteland around the station can be made use of.正确答案：C12．Which of the following can be used as fertilizer?A．Waste fuel from the power plant.B．Raw materials used to produce electricity.C．Waste water from the power plant.D．Carbon dioxide produced from burning fuel.正确答案：D13．Why does Dr. Johnson want to use a gas-burning plant?A．It generates more hot air.B．It produces more carbon dioxide.C．It does not dump sulfur dioxide into the air.D．It does not release pollutants into the air.正确答案：C听力原文：W: How did you become involved in fair trade?M: My degree was in ecology and I was a founder member of Friends of the Earth in Norridge. It was all green wally type things and great fun. While I was an education worker of the national history museum in London , a friend introduced me to fair trade, which aims to establish a better deal between the consumers and producers. I started offices for sales agent for tradecraft. Fair trade appeals to me because it combines theenvironmental and development movements.W: What do you think is the most important next steps in fair trade?M: We need to find out more about the consumers who should be buying fair trade products but aren’t. Discover what gets in the way. Fair trade in the UK is doing really well at the moment. Strong companies, like Twin and Equal Exchange, have become actively involved in the main strain and about half a million people regularly buy fair trade goods. But some people still hesitate, because they’re unsure of quality. Also we want to broaden the range of fair trade products available.W: What has been the highlight of your career in fair trade?M: There is one moment that exits in my mind. When I first joined the fair trade foundation, I visited a tea estate in India to talk to local people and workers. I came away thinking I could raise too many expectations and felt very foreign to them. However, when I returned there 2 years later, I emerged from the plantation gate to find a queue of local people who wanted to talk to me about other changes they hoped for. Two things about this were important. They saw that fair trade existed to improve their situation and they showed a level of trust. They could come to me with complaints, knowing it wouldn’t be counted against them.14．What was Mr. Wells doing when he learned about fair trade?A．Studying ecology.B．Working at a museum.C．Founding the friends of the Earth.D．Selling tradecraft products.正确答案：B15．What is the next task for fair trade?A．To carry out studies on consumers.B．To involve big companies in fair trade.C．To find out more about its existing market.D．To improve the quality of fair trade products.正确答案：A16．What did Mr. Wells find out about the local people on his second visit to the tea estate?A．They made complaints about fair trade.B．They began to have trust in fair trade.C．They became dependent on fair trade.D．They wanted to join the Fairtrade Foundation.正确答案：B听力原文：W: Many scientists support open-access in principle but winning jobs, grands, and tenure still requires publication in journals with established reputations.Can open-access journals, like PLoS, Biology both strap themselves into prominence?M: All the data show that open-access journals have higher citation rates than closed-access journals. That is the reason open-access journals will succeed. There may be a prestige lack, but the value from open-access will erase that quickly. PLoS has from the start published papers of importance far more than any other start of journal, again a measure of the value of open access.W: In September, the National Institute of Health proposed a new policy requiring all scientists who receive its funding to make their research results available to the public for free. Could it say the new policy, if adopted, could drive some journals out of business and that taxpayers will have to pay for a new open-access system. What’ s your response? M: Taxpayers are paying for the research. The question is how much researcher should have to pay to get access to the results. We believe that the costs of open access publishing will be far less overall than the existing system. The costs to everyone will, thus, be less and the spread of knowledge greater. W: Some worried that proprietary pressures are moving upstream to a certain ownership of data and researchers themselves rather than patterns and copyrights on the final research products. Did you share this concern? M: Absolutely. We’ve expanded intellectual property restrictions without any evidence of the good they will do, and this religion of expansion will cause substantial harm to researcher and comers. W: What’s the best solution?M: The best solution is that we give up religion in the context of intellectual property and rely upon evidence. No new regulation should be adopted unless the proponent can show with real evidence that the restriction will do more good than harm.17．What is special about open-access journals?A．A higher frequency of citation.B．A collection of valuable data.C．Hard-won prominence.D．Established reputation.正确答案：A18．What does the woman say is the possible result of the new policy?A．Some magazines may close down.B．It may provoke criticism from scientists.C．More funding will be offered to scientists.D．Research results will have to be published on a new system.正确答案：A19．What does Lessig think of the open-access system?A．Taxpayers have to pay as much as usual.B．The costs depend on the research results.C．The costs will be considerably reduced.D．Publishing will be made much easier.正确答案：C20．What does Lessig say should be done concerning intellectual property expansion?A．Revise regulations.B．Expand the restriction.C．Identify the harm.D．Make no new restrictions.正确答案：DPart CDirections: You will hear a talk. As you listen, answer the questions or complete the notes in your test booklet for Questions 21-30 by writing NOT MORE THAN THREE words in the space provided on the right. You will hear the talk TWICE.You now have 1 minute to read Questions 21-30.听力原文：When people say that I invented the Donor’s Message Service or DMS that raises money for charity, it’s easy to get the wrong idea. The texting technology was already there, it was just my idea to use it in the new way. Premium rate short messages service or text messaging is used for buying a ring tones or voting via text. My idea was to use the same tool to get Czechs to give money to charity. Because of some historical reasons, we didn’t have much of a charitable tradition here. But last year, through sending DMSs, Czechs donated about 920, 000 pounds to dozens of different nonprofit groups. As far as I know, the Czech Republic is the only country in Europe where you can send a text message as a way of giving to charity. 7 years ago, when I was working at a non-profit organization concerned with corporate social responsibility, I attended a conference in Budapest on Africa. I wanted to visit a particular seminar, but it was full when I arrived, so I went into another room, not knowing the topic. It was a seminar on individual giving, and I almost left. At that time, there was almost no donating by individuals in my country. We in the non-profit sector have been focused on raising money from institutional foundations. But we had almost no experience with individual giving, and most of us thought it could never work here. As it turned out, in just one hour this seminar completely changed my thinking. The seminar leader, an American, asked us: “In the last two months, how many of you supported a charity?” Almost no one raised their hand. Then he asked why nobody had made a donation, no one had an answer. He turned a sheet on a flip chart. It showed that 85% of people said they didn’t support a charity because they were never asked. This got me thinking of ways to make it really simple for Czechs to make donations. I wondered if we could collect donations via text messages, which is quick and easy and a new technology that young people will use. So I started to discuss this with the main wireless providers in the Czech Republic. They agreed to set up a single number to which people could send an SMS and make donations to a variety of charities, big and small. The mobile operators recognized it’s a win-win situation and agreed to take money only for operating costs. We set a very modestamount, 72 pence, which anyone can give. The program really took off in 2004, when a terrible storm hit the High Tatra mountains in Slovakia, which is a favorite holiday destination for Czechs. Trees were toppled everywhere, and Czechs really wanted to help. Some TV programs started putting out the name of a group that was doing recovery work, and explained how people could donate to them via DMS. Suddenly, people discovered the DMS, and in the end, the Czechs collected far more money than the Slovaks. When the program started, I guessed it would work if one million DMSs could be sent every year—that would mean one for every ten people in the Czech Republic. Last year, Czech sent 1. 5 million DMSs, so it’s a big success. Now we’re talking with groups in other European countries about setting up similar programs. My formal education had been in teacher training, and in the 1990s, I got involved with groups that were working to modernize Czech schools and teaching methods. For a time, I worked at the Czech Education Ministry, where I was in charge of European Structural Funds. Over the past ten years, I’ve been overseeing people and budgets, and I realized they needed to get proper training in management, so last year I enrolled in an executive MBA program. One of the most satisfying moments for me was when a friend who had a pub told me about a group of men who had come in. They were sitting at their table and drinking beer and talking about their wives and football. All of a sudden, someone said: “Let’s go. We’ll have a cigarette and send some DMSs. “ Five or six guys stood up and went outside and smoked their cigarettes, and then, just like in a hokey match, they did a countdown and hit “send” on their mobile phones all at once. They were sending the DMSs to help the victims of the Asian tsunami. I was really moved when I heard that story.You will hear a speech by Ivo Jupa, who made use of short message service to raise money for charity.

In fact, the whole class believed her! At first she supposed it was __2__. Now, as she got up to __3__ before the class, She knew that make –believe stories had some way of coming back to make you sad.Rosa’s parents were separated. Nine months out of the year, Rosa lived with her mother in an apartment on Anderson Street. But when summer __4__, she went to her father’s farm in Arizona.The farm was great! Rosa rode horses and __5__ with some farm work. Her father, however, was so __6__ that he couldn’t find time to go places with her.

And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a __2__ children’s book. Either the author has aimed (定目标) too __3__, so that children can’t follow what is in his ( or more often, her ) story, __4__ the story seems to be talking to the readers.The best children’s books are __5__ very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy（令人满意的）the __6__ who hears the story and the adult（成年人）who __7__ it. Unfortunately（不幸的是）, there are in fact few books like this, __8__ the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not __9__ to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as __10__ of children’s literature（文学）were in fact written for __11__ ―Alice in Wonderland‖ is perhaps the most obvious（明显）of this.Children, left for themselves, often __12__ the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a __13__ and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative (并非想象的) way, or have a look at the most children’s comics（连环图书）, full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and righting-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop __14__ to brainwash（洗脑）children into accepting（接受）our taste in literature. After all, children and adults are so __15__ that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise（妥协）over the bedtime story.1.
