单选题A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual 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 arousing his sadistic impulse. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seem to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well-authenticated 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 fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories 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 indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl-friend. No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child has ever believed that it was.

单选题U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, has resigned. Analysts say Bolton was unable to satisfy Senate opponents, who were concerned he would pursue a unilateral U. S. foreign policy. And his post became even more tenuous after Democrats took control of Congress in November elections. Bolton had a history of angering diplomats and colleagues in his previous State Department job. And he could not gain sufficient support from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to stay on. He is to leave the U. N. post when the current session of the U. S. Congress ends, possible at the end of the week. Bush appointed Bolton in August 2005 to reform the world body. But Bolton is leaving at a time when U. S. foreign policy is fraught with global challenges.Questions:

单选题Anyone who has a fat friend or who is, perhaps, himself more than ample, knows only too well how little provision our society makes for such people. Even the daily round provides numerous problems and snags. There are few pieces of clothing that can be bought off the peg, seats in cinemas or theatres are a subtle sort of torture only partially relieved by the rarity of good performance, and home furniture is hopelessly inadequate(imagine a fat person moving among a houseful of delicate antique chairs!). Then there is the problem of having a bath; the standard size of bathtub just does not allow a fat person to take up a horizontal position but demands of a grotesque squat reminiscent of his simian ancestry. In today's world, however, these are minor worries in a culture where slimness has become a fetish and all things desirable come to the person with a sylph-like figure. Especially in women, this attribute is a must if they are to compete on anything like equal terms with their contemporaries in the marriage market. The fact that slimness is not necessarily either an ideal condition from a physiological point of view or a natural characteristic is of little comfort to the fat man or woman living in our present society obsessed by thinness. This fashion has been just another facet of the desire for conformity; we have charts showing correct weights for each height, and there are whole counters in many shops given over to the display of non-fattening foods. The fat person is doubly unfortunate in that he cannot hide his non-conformity, unlike so many of us who have perhaps more subtle forms of eccentricity. In those cases where fatness is the result of over-eating, it is, of course, a reaction to some form of inner conflict and a much less harmful one than, say, alcoholism, drug addiction or suicide. Where the excess weight is due to some disorder of the body, the person so afflicted is an all-round loser, for not only has he a physical illness to cope with but is mocked for having it by many people who should know better. Perhaps fashion will eventually change to allow an ample frame to become acceptable, but at present it seems that the pencil-slim models of the fashion salons are in safe jobs.
