Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a 2 children’s book. Either the author has aimed too 3, so that the 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 both the 6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it. Unfortunately, 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 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 imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(连环画), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop 14 to brainwash children into accepting 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.

阅读下面短文,撑握其大意,然后从36~55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D),选出最佳选项。

I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a bookshop _36 me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very   37 to earn my own pocket money and my parents   38 interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it   39 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the   40 , I would become more mature(成熟) and  41 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

Like many   42 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they  43  a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around   44 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great   45 for me. In the end, my father won the   46 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins   47 through the country who could   48 shelter and help if I need them.

Three years later, my younger brother decide to   49 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not   50 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n)   51 year working his way on trains and ships to   52 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.

These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly   53 . Most parents start   54 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have   55 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.

On the outside Betsy Lueth’s school looks like any other in Minneapolis. Yet inside, it is

Yinghua Academy, a public school where elementary(小学)students study subjects ranging from

math to American history in Chinese.

    Yinghua, the first such immersion(沉浸式)program in the Midwest is on the leading edge (前沿) of a movement that in recent years has seen Chinese language programs spread rapidly throughout the U.S.

The idea behind Yinghua is to introduce kids to the language and culture as early as possible —ideally, before age 12. Kindergarteners and first graders are taught in Chinese and a single period of English is introduced in second grade. By sixth grade, kids are learning half in English and half in Chinese, with the expectation of fluency in both. In Yinghua’s classrooms, the walls are covered not with ABCs but with pictures and Chinese characters.

There are many challenges at Yinghua. Most teachers come from Taiwan or mainland China, and cultural misunderstandings are very common. Lueth’s teachers are learning to be tolerant of local customs — as well as a lot more parental input (家长看法) than they are used to. “In China, teachers are respected. They are not questioned,” says Luyi Lien, Yinghua’s Taiwan-born director. “In America, parents are more expressive of their opinions.”

Research has shown that in the long run, immersion programs can provide benefits, including more flexible, creative thinking. Though students from the programs fall behind for a few years in English, by fifth grade they perform as well as or better than their monolingual(单语言)peers on standardized reading and math tests. For multicultural families, the psychological (心理上的) help can also be important. Lueth, a former teacher, co-founded the school as a way to expose her adopted Chinese daughter Lucy to her native culture. Lucy used to be annoyed when cousins asked why her skin color was different from theirs; before she started at Yinghua, she resisted exploring anything related to China. Now, Lueth says, Lucy proudly answers her cousins, “Yeah, I was born in China.”

    B.benefits students in learning psychology
