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 tall a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstrances 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 impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment flint 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 seems 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 once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear in to 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 girlfriend.
No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child has ever believed that it was.
The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ______.
选项
A、repeated without variation
B、treated with reverence
C、adapted by the parent
D、set in the present
答案
C
解析
根据第一段第二句“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”,就可看出[C]为正确答案,而[A]错误。[B]中所述与文中第一段第一句中的“but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairly stories as sacred texts”相矛盾。而[D]中所述明显与原文内容不符。
