Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story 1 their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a 2 children’s book. Either the writer has aimed too 3 , so that 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 should be 5 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy the 6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it. Unfortunately(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 children’s literature 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 unimaginative way, or have a look at the most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and righting-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop 14 to brainwash(洗脑)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.

Emergencies (紧急情况) don’t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.
In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.
Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book. When to call
Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc. When in an emergency call
When you dial the 911 operator（接线员），it’s always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what’s happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?
Don’t hang up（挂断）!
If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it’s OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.
A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed-dial (快速拨号) function. 1. The emergency number 911 was first used in ________ in the USA.
A. 1958 B. 1968
C. 1978
D. 1999
2. People can’t call 911 when ________.
A. a bus hits a boy badly B. a girl feels bored C. an old lady falls off the stairs, unable to stand up D. some people can’t get out of a burning building 3. Which is the right thing to do?
A. Wait for the operator’s words to end the call. B. Tell the operator what has happened and hang up. C. Test if your phone can get through to 911. D. Tell the operator everything as quickly as possible.
B
