“A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened，” writes C. S. Lewis in an essay named Three Ways

B．absorbs D．affects

of Writing for Children. Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. Firstly, they mean that we mustn't do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence (暴力), wounds, good and evil (). C. S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.

He goes on to comment, “Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel(残酷的)enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.” “It would be nice，” he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor, is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”

Bruno Bettelheim, a well-known child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.

A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life. It's believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality. It's what good literature does－it makes life larger.

1．According to the first paragraph, C．S. Lewis thinks that________. A．children shouldn't read any fantasy story because it is bad B. adults shouldn't do things that may frighten their children C. death and badness should be kept out of children's minds D. writing a fantasy story is the best way of writing for children 2．What probably is St. George according to the text? A．He is a policeman in real life. B．He is a murderer caught by the police. C．He is a brave man in a fantasy novel. D．He is a frightening person in a story.

3．Why should children read fantasy literature according to Bruno Bettelheim? A．Because it encourages children to have a lot of fantasies.

B．Because it helps children overcome fears and find solutions. C．Because it teaches children to write their own fantasy stories. D．Because it gives children a happy memory when they grow up. 4．It can be inferred from the text that ________. A．good literature can give readers more valuable stories B．fantasies can improve one's ability to solve problems C．personal fantasies can help children get away from danger D．most children can understand what fantasy literature is

5．Which of the following features of fantasy literature does the author want to stress?

A．It's necessary and helpful. B．It's interesting and attractive. C．It's useless but enjoyable. D．It's frightening but exciting.

Berlin－Germany's University of Heidelberg says a researcher has given evidence that apparently confirms(证实)the identity of the woman behind the Mona Lisa's famous smile.

She is Lisa del Giocondo, wife of Florentine businessman Francesco del Giocondo, according to notes written in the margins of a book by a friend of Leonardo da Vinci as the artist worked on the masterpiece, the school said in a statement.

The discovery by a Heidelberg University library manuscript(手稿)expert Armin Schlechter appears to confirm what has long been suspected. It is also an answer that has been in plain(清楚地)view for centuries: the Mona Lisa is known as Lisa del Giocondo in Italian.

Lisa del Giocondo was first named as the woman in the painting by Italian writer Giorgio Vasari in 1550, who also dated the work at between 1503 and 1506, the university said.

But because Vasari relied on anecdotal(轶事的)evidence, there was always doubts about the identification, and Leonardo is not known to have made any notes about the model's identity himself.

Mixing the mystery, unclear references in 1517, 1525 and 10 point to other identifications.

“One possibility discussed is the presentation of an imaginative likeness of a woman, Leonardo's female ideal，” the school said.

But the find by Heidelberg library expert Armin Schlechter settles the matter, according to the university.

In a copy of the works of Roman philosopher Cicero, Agostino Vespucci, a Florentine official and friend of Leonardo's, wrote in the margins that da Vinci was working on a portrait of Lisa del Giocondo. He dated his notes October 1503，also helping fix the exact time Leonardo was working on the painting.

“All doubts as to the identity of the Mona Lisa are eliminated(清除)by one source，” the university said.

The discovery was actually made in 2005, but was not widely known until a German radio station last week aired it in a report.
