2.From their __________________ on the top of the tower, visitors can have a better view of the whole city.
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 to 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 charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad think?ing. 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 from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of a fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There arc also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that gi?ants ,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(奇异的)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 tele?phone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

A. repeated without any change

A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowa?days
8. One of the reasons why some people are not in fa-vour of fairy tales is that A. they are full of imagination
B. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

Tourism probably started in Roman times. Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman Empire. But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.
In the early 17th century, the idea of the "Grand Tour" was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel(英吉利海峡).They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The "Grand Tour" was an important part of young people's education―but only for the rich.
In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns? such as Bath, to "take the water". They be?lieved that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.
In the 19th century, travel became much more popular. When the first railways were built in the 1820s ， it was easier for people to travel between towns ， so they started to go for holidays by the sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier.
Travelling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to faraway countries.
The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.
Thus tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything―plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food一and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry were born.
The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949. But tourism did not take off until 1978. So far, the industry has become an important part of China's social development.

This morning I went to the shoes shop to buy a pair of new shoes. When I got there, I noticed a foreign lady talk to a salesgirl. But the salesgirl didn't understand that the foreigner was saying. They both looked wor?rying. I went up to help them. The lady is Australian. She wants to buy a pair travelling shoes. So I told it to the salesgirl. The lady was very much glad when she took the shoes. She sings high praise for my spoken English. All of them expressed their thanks to me. I felt happy that I expressed myself free in English.
