A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal 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 situation of the time and the 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 making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some 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 being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
The author’ s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ________.
选项
A、fairy stories are still being made up
B、there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C、people try to modernize old fairy stories
D、there is more concern for children’ s fears nowadays
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。有些人认为神话不现实,都是教孩子一些不存在的东西,会对孩子有不好的影响。作者用虚拟语气做了一个假设,如果这些观点站得住脚的话,可能会出现这样的情况:“the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or coveting a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend”,可见持这种观点的人实际上是对神话的一种误解。
