13、thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I got it.The boy gave me a strange look, then _11_ up. As he left, he shouted out, “Theres something _12_ with that woman!” Everyone looked at me, _13_ I didnt want to quarrel with the boy, so I kept quiet. I did not realize that I had _14_ a mistake

She was so _1_ that her classmates believed her from time to time. In fact, the whole class believed her! At firs
17、t she supposed it was _2_. Now, as she got up to _3_ before the class, She knew that make believe stories had some way of coming back to make you sad.Rosas parents were separated. Nine months out of the year, Rosa lived with her mother in an apartment on Anderson Street. But when summer _4_, she wen
18、t to her fathers farm in Arizona.The farm was great! Rosa rode horses and _5_ with some farm work. Her father, however, was so _6_ that he couldnt find time to go places with her. When she arrived each summer, her father would _7_ her at the airport and take her out to eat. And the day she went back
19、 to the _8_ he would always buy her a present.When summer came to a close, Rosa _9_ to her mother. At school she heard lots of stories her friends told about their family trips.

20、l library. They talked about many exciting _12_, like England and Germany. When Rosas friends asked what she had done that summer, she made up something that was not _13_.

And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a _2_ childrens book. Either the author has a
24、imed （定目标） too _3_, so that children cant follow what is in his （ or more often, her ） story, _4_ the story seems to be talking to the readers.The best childrens books are _5_ very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy（令人满意的） the _6_ who hears the story and the adult（成年人） who _7_ it. Unfortunately（
25、不幸的是）, 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 childrens literature（文学） were in fact written for _11_ “Alice in Wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious（明显）of this. Children, l
26、eft 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 unimaginative （并非想象的 ） way, or have a look at the most childrens comics（连环图书）, full of the stories and jokes which are the re
27、jections of teachers and righting-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop _14_ to brainwash（洗脑）children into accepting（接受）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 well just have to compromise（妥协）over the bedtime story.1.
