Most parents,I suppose,have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children.And they must have 16 how difficult it is to write a 17 children’s book.Either the author has aimed too 18 ,so that the children fail to follow what is in his (or more often, her)story, 19 me story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are 20 too difficult nor too simple,and satisfy both the 21 who hears the story and the adult who reads it.Unfortunately, there are in fact 22 books like this,so the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 23 to solve.
This maybe why many books regarded as 24 of children’s literature were in fact written for 25 .Alice's Adventure in Wonderland is perhaps the most 26 of this.
Children,left for themselves,often 27 the worst possible interest in literature.Just leave a child in a bookshop or 28 and he will 29 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way ,or have a look 30 most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes,which are the 31 of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children.into 32 our taste in literature. After all,children and adults are so 33 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 34 books.So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise 35 that bedtime story. .

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.
