Briana, a student at John Fenwick School in Salem County,
US, has a lot of free time. The 13-year-old girl used to hang out
on the streets after school. “I know it wasn’t good, but I really
had nothing else to do,” Briana said.
Briana was not alone. Many kids in her city had too much free time and nothing to do. To solve this problem, four school districts in Salem began a program called Big
Brothers/Big Sisters. The program helps students make good use of their after-school eada Woods(L)and
time. Big Brothers/Big Sisters invites mentors to help students in grades 6 to 8 build
healthy relationships and take part in productive activities.
The “Littles” and the “Bigs” are nicknames (昵称) for students and mentors. Most mentors are teachers. The “Bigs” and “Littles” usually meet once a week. They play
games, share stories and go on trips.
The program has already helped many Salem students.
Bria na’s mentor is the school principal (校长), Syeda Woods. Woods took Briana ice-skating, to pizza parties and for a visit to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania.
“When I got out, I saw that Salem is a very small place,” Briana said. “The program
helps me experie nce the outside world and see many new things.”
Kathy Jennings, 13, said she was very shy before, but now is much more open.
“In the program, I see my mentor as a big sister, not a teacher. I can tell her anything,” Jennings said. “And she has taught me a lot about making good decisions. I
think it will make a big difference in my life.”

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.
72. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is______.
A. repeated without any change
B. treated as a joke
C. set in the present
D. given some changes by the parent
73. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story
is____.
A. heard for the first time
B. in a realistic setting
C. repeated too often
D. told in a different way
74. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that______.
A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. people try to modernize old fairy stories
C. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
D. There is more concern for children’s fears nowadays
75. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that_____.
A. they are full of imagination
B. they are not interesting
C. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and don’t work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools, we students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What’s more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.。
