As university students, they became interested in folktales—traditional stories that people memorized and told again and again. They began to collect traditional folktales from storytellers all over Germany. Many were similar to stories told in France, Italy, Japan, and other countries. Between 1812 and 1814, the brothers published two books in German. These included stories like “Snow White” and “Little Red Riding Hood.” The collections became known in English as Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Darkness and Magic The Grimm brothers’ tales reflected traditional life and beliefs. For example, forests are everywhere to see in Germany, and this image often appears in the Grimms’ stories. In the past, many people believed forests were dangerous places. In the Grimms’ stories, a forest is the home of evil witches, talking animals, and other amazing things. Children’s stories? Most people today think of these stories as fairy tales for children, but the brothers first wrote them for adults. Many of their early tales were dark and a little scary. Later, the brothers changed the text of some of the original stories. They “softened” many of the tales and added drawings. This made them more fit for children. Like the early tales, though, each story still has a moral: work hard, be good, and listen to your parents. 6．Which of these is true about the Grimm brothers? A．They invented the fairy tales in their books. B．They wrote their books in different languages. C．They became interested in folktales as students. D．They traveled to many countries to collect stories. 7．How did the Grimm brothers make the original tales more suitable for children? A．By making the stories darker and scarier. B．By adding more talking animals. C．By “softening” the tales and adding drawings. D．By keeping the stories exactly as they collected them. 8．What does the underlined word “moral” mean? A．Interest. B．Text C．Story. D．Message. 9．What is the main purpose (目的) of the reading? A．To compare (比较) the Grimms’ stories to modern children’s stories. B．To explain why storytelling is important in Germany. C．To examine two of the Grimms’ fairy tales D．To give information about the Grimm brothers and their stories （23-24八年级上·安徽芜湖·期末）The Sound of Music is one of the most popular American movies.

I’m a movie lover and I want my kids to like movies, too. The first time I took my daughter, Lily, to the movie theater, she was six years old and the movie was Bambi. I chose it because I thought a cartoon movie would be good to her. Everything was going just fine and Bambi was so lovely. However, when a man killed Bambi’s mother, my daughter became very sad and asked to go home. So we left in the middle of the movie. Later I chose movies more carefully and my daughter watched many great ones. Luckily, she likes movies as much as I do now. My worry is: Are cartoons really safe for kids? Once I sat on the sofa to watch a carton with my 8-year-old son, Bill. I got dumbfounded when I saw a cartoon character was bleeding in front of us. The cartoon was like an action movie for adults!

Cleary is one of the world’s most popular children’s writers. By showing that stories about ordinary (普通的) kids could be interesting, too, she changed the world of children’s books. As a child, Cleary had trouble learning to read. Even after she had learned to love reading, she still found many books boring. The girl felt like the people she was reading about had little to do with her or her life. She wanted to read funny books about children like herself. When she grew up, Cleary became a librarian (图书管理员). One day, some boys asked her, “Where are the books about kids like us?” Cleary realized there weren’t many books about ordinary kids, so she began to write some. Her first book, Henry Huggins, tells the story of a boy and his dog. Huggins is just an ordinary third-grader, but the book soon became a hit. Cleary went on to write more books about Huggins and the other children in his neighborhood. From this neighborhood, “Ramona the Pest” became Cleary’s best-known character. She is always getting into trouble. Whenever Ramona gets into trouble, it’s often funny, but it’s also something most kids can understand. Cleary knew what it really felt like to be a kid. Unlike many other children’s writers, Cleary liked to focus on (聚焦) real-life problems. In several of her books, the parents have money problems or are unhappy with their jobs. Cleary dealt with these situations with a gentle sense of humor and a deep understanding. Cleary wrote over 40 books in all. More than 91 million copies of her books have been sold. The great writer died at the age of 104 on March 25, 2021.
