Recent research found one in five parents have abandoned those old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Hansel and Gretel and theyre in favor of more modern books.One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the terrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. The survey of 2,000 adults was carried out to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9:00 pm on Watch, and sees six series based on traditional fairytales. The research found a quarter of parents wouldnt consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they cause too many awkward questions. And 52 percent of the parents said Cinderella didnt send a good message to their children as it portrays (描绘) a young woman doing housework all day. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it condones (宽恕) stealing.Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to relax the children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so its understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children. As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five-year-old with an over active imagination could think they are true. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story.”Though half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids books, two thirds of mums and dads said they were no longer appropriate tosootheyoungsters before bed. On the contrary, they might give their children nightmares.5. Why arent some traditional fairytales read by parents to children?A. They are forbidden to read according to the rules.B. They are difficult for their children to understand.C. They are too scary for their young children to hear.D. They dont have any strong moral messages in them.6. Which of the traditional fairytales tells one can get away with stealing?A. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. B. Little Red Riding Hood.C. Goldilocks and the Three Bears. D. Hansel and Gretel.7. Whats the authors attitude towards traditional fairytales?A. Objective. B. Supporting. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.8. The underlined word “soothe” in the last paragraph means “_”.A. surprise B. astonish C. stress D. comfortC Most people dont notice Im polite, which is the point. I am big and look less energetic. Still, every year or so, someone takes me aside and says, “You actually are polite, arent you?” Im always thrilled. They noticed. Thats the thing. When we talk about politeness, we usually think of please; thank you; I like your hat; etc. AW we need to do is to hear, not to notice. When I was in high school, I read etiquette manuals (手册) . No one noticed my politeness except for one kid. He yelled at me aboutit. “Its strange that you are always so polite,” he said. I took that as praise and made a note to hide my politeness further. Real politeness, I believed, was invisible(看不见的) . It adapted itself to the situation. Politeness leaves doors open. Ive met so many people whom, if I had trusted my first impressions, I would never have wanted to meet again. Yet many of them are now great friends. One of those people is my wife. On our first date, she told me in detail that she had an operation to remove a cyst (瘤) from her body. Of course, it killed the chemistry. But when I walked her home, I told her Id had a great time. We talked a little after that. I kept everything pleasant and brief. Much later, I learned that shed been having a very bad day in a very bad year. People silently suffer from all kinds of terrible things. The good thing about politeness is you can regard these people exactly the same and wait to see what happens. You dont have to have an opinion. You dont need to make a judgment. Last week, my two-year-old son, Abraham met a foreign woman in the playground. Out of curiosity, I suppose, he asked, “Whats your name?” The woman told him. Then he put out his little hand and said, “Nice to meet you!” Everyone laughed and he smiled. He shared with her his firmest handshake, like I taught him.9.Why do many people think the author is impoliteA. Because he doesnt look politeB. Because he doesnt say polite wordsC. Because he doesnt listen to others politelyD. Because he doesnt behave politely towards strangers10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The authors good manners.B. The authors strange behavior.C. The author always making notes.D. The author reading etiquette manuals.11. What can we learn about politeness according to Paragraph 3 ?A. keep everything pleasantB. help people make friendsC. be good for peoples healthD. give people second chancesDYou get anxious if theres no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if youre not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy(自主权) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become tyrants (暴君) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app Moment to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time theyre spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached (突破). “Moments goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this always on culture are that your mind is never resting, and youre not giving your body time to recover, so youre always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because theyre controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant.12.
