15、e, to have it retold in almost the same words, 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 thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to sho
16、w 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 stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once
17、 . Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced.There are also people who are against fairy tales on the grounds that they are not objectively true;that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of be
18、ing fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I found such people, I must say so peculiar 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 P

23、Dictionary When Webster was young, he was a teacher. But he quickly became tired of the books he used in class. They were all about the English people and places. Since he wanted books that would be interesting to American children, he wrote three books with many American examples. Webster worked ha
24、rd to change the spellings of American English. He wanted words to be spelled in the same way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf ”. And he tried many ways to ask people to help him to do this. One day he walked into a print shop and gave the boy the
25、re a piece of paper. “Young man,” he said, “when you print any book in the future, please dont spell the words like the English people do. For example, when you see these word: theatre, centre, colour, and labour, please always print them as theater, center, color, and labor.” The boy studied it and
26、 answered, “OK, but I must ask my boss first.” With the money he made from his books, Webster could start his great work, which took him more than twenty years to finish.

30、n the schoolshooting and killing people.This is “Elephant”. Filmed in just 20 days, it stars real high school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogue, with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.Although it
31、 may not sound very high quality, the film won the Palme d Or for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival in France on May 25.The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.The title of the movi
32、e refers to the old expression about a problem thats as hard to pass by as an elephant in the house.The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims(受害者) and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyonefun and friendly, or hard and lonely.In many
33、 ways, the two boys, who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boys mother as she serves them cakes and plays the piano.But, there are hints(暗示) of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied(欺负) at school. The other plays violent video games. But Van S
34、ant isnt blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games. In fact, the film doesnt offer any reason for why school violence happens.“I didnt want to explain anything.

35、n in the south of France in 1946. Cannes was chosen for the international festival because of its “sunny and beautiful location”.

41、ntertaining. In some countries there is a help yourself method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. In one instance, a Chinese guest went hungry all the
42、evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive(负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than
43、 waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough. As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be ca
44、reful that the hometown gift you are bringing to Singapore was not made in Hong Kong.

48、y enjoy feeding it to their pets. Market studies show that two thirds of all dog owners give ice cream to their dogs. Unfortunately, says William Tyznik, an expert on animal nutrition(营养)at Ohio State University, ice cream is not good for dogs.“It hasmilk sugar in it,” he says, “which dogs cannot di
49、gest very well.”Bothered(打扰)by that knowledge but aware(having idea)of the desire of dog owners to please their companions, Tyznik invented a new frozen treat for dogs that, he says, is more nutritious than ice creamand as much fun to eat. The product, called Frosty Paws, is made of a liquid byprodu
50、ct(副产品)of cheese and milk with the sugar removed. Frosty Paws also contains refined soy flour, water, vegetable oil, vitamins and minerals. It took Tyznic, who has also invented a horse food(called Tizwhiz)and another dog food(named Tizbits),three years to perfect the Frosty Paws formula, and two at
51、tempts to commercialize it. After losing $25 000 trying to market the invention himself, Tyznik sold the rights to Associated Ice Cream of Westerville, Ohio, which makes the product and packages it in cups.Tyznik claims that Frosty Paws has been tested extensively and that “dogs love it.” Of 1 400 d
52、ogs that have been offered the product, he says,89 percent took it on the first try. Three out of four preferred it to Milk-Bone or sausages. The product, which will be available in the ice-cream section of supermarkets, comes in packs of three or four cups,costing between $1.39 and$. What would hap
53、pen if a human should mistake Frosty Paws for real ice cream? Nothing, says Tyznik.
