15．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 circumstances of the time and the individual child，is an improvement on the printed text，that's much better．
A charge 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 guilty of 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 from the child who has 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 are also people who are opposed to fairy stories in that they are not 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 how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics．I find such people，I must say so strange that I do not know how to argue with them．If their cases 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 girlfriend．
No fairy story has ever claimed to be description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was．

A．when a story is repeated without any change
B．when we treat a story as a joke
C．when the story is set in the present time
D．when the parent makes some changes about a story
33．According to the passage，when can great fear take place in a child？A
A．When a story is heard for the first time．
B．When a story is in a realistic setting．
C．When a story is repeated too often．
D．When a story is told in a different way．
34．What is the advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children？C
A．Encouraging them not to have strange beliefs．
B．Developing their power of memory．
C．Making them less fearful
D．Making them believe there is nothing to be afraid of．
35．The author's mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest thatD．
A．fairy stories are still being made up
B．there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
C．people try to update old fairy stories
D．there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales．

12．Judging from look on his face，he must have news of great excitement to tell us．（　　）

19．A．When something comes from within you，you always try your best to analyze it in a scientific way．
B．Psychologists call this private speech----language that is spoken loud but directed at yourself
C．So words to the self，spoken silently or loud，are so much more than just chatter
D．We keep the private speech we use as children inside------but we never truly put away the out=loud version．
E．According to he well-known saying，talking to yourself is the first sign of madness．
F．Self-talk is efficient because when we are vocal about our thoughts，it makes a larger impact on our brain．

Self-talk helps us allTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful．If you've ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech，you'll know the social problems it can cause．（67）E
But there's no need for embarrassment．Talking to ourselves，whether out loud or silently in our heads，is valuable．Far from being a sign of insanity，self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do，manage our activities and control our emotions．
For example，take a trip to any preschool and watch a small girl playing with her toys．You are very likely to hear her talking to herself：offering herself directions and talking about her problems．（68）BWe do a lot of it when we are young．
As children，according to the Russian Psychologist Lev Vygotsky，we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others．As we grow older，we keep this system inside．
Psychological experiments have shown that this so-called inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking．Our words give us an interesting view of our actions．One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person：as"you"rather than"I"（69）DIf you want proof，turn to a sports channel．You're sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself．
Talking to ourselves seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas．Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different place，just like a regular dialogue，and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity．
Both kinds of self-talk-----silent and out loud----seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking．（70）C-

14．It was a dark，wet November morning．It seemed like it would take a million years to get to summer again．I thought bears have got it right----what a perfect idea to sleep through the worst part of the year and wake up when spring comes!
"Want some words of affirmation（肯定）？"a coworker，seeing my mood，kindly suggested．"You don't think they would cheer you up？"
"Today？No．"I shook my head．
"I used to think so too，"he said，"until I realized the effect my words had on a certain person．Well，it was someone I knew pretty well．I have to say I reated him rather badly．"
"You？But you are always so positive!How did you treat him badly？"
"I told him I did not like anything about him，really．I told him I did not even like his name．In fact，it wasn't only what I said．I also did pretty bad things to him．When he was hungry，I did not give him the chance to eat proper food．When he felt like doing something fun，I said to him that he was being childish and having fun was not productive （有成果的）．And worst of all，when he was sick and needed care，I did not care．I told him to get up and get to work．And when he did，I never told him he did good work．You could say I was ashamed of him，"he said．"I wanted to get rid of him because he just wasn't good enough for me---but couldn't．"
"But that was heartless!"
He nodded．"Then one day it all changed．I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror one morning．I saw the dark circles under his eyes，I saw the excess （过量的） weight．I saw the hair that needed cutting．And I saw the eyes that once had looked at the world eagerly．Now they were so sad and tired．And there and then I realized he deserved better．So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person after all．"
My jaw （下巴） dropped．I looked at him---full of positive energy，in good shape，always ready to encourage others．
"Wow…"
He winked （眨眼） at me．"So how about having a little positive conversation with the bathroom mirror？The person in there has the greatest effect on you!"
