At the end of the original Grimm tale，SnowWhite’s stepmother is made to put on redhot iron shoes and dance until she fallsdown dead.This came as something of a shock. I always thought fairy tales had happy endings.And I didn’t want my fiveyearold daughter going to sleep thinking：“Thankgoodness they tortured(折磨) that old woman t o death.”That’s when I decided towrite fairy tales.In the years that followed, I wrote tales nonstop and read them to Sally at bedtime.The Corn Dolly was based on a child who was always complaining; The Silly King wasjust a silly story Sally loved; I wrote The Witch and the Rainbow Cat for Sally becauseof her enormous appetite for stories about witches while Dr Bonocolus’s Devil is a new version of the Faust legend.Nicobobinus, however, was different. I wrote this book when Sally was older and engaged with all things girls have to do—who’s friends with who, who stuck a sticker on the back of whose boyfriend, or whatever thing she felt funny.Nicobobinus，the boy who could do anything, came out of my desire for a more innocent world. He lived a long time ago, in a city called Venice. Only his best friend, Rosie, knew he could，and nobody took any notice of anything Rosie said, because she was always having wild ideas anyway.Nicobobinus was so different that it turned out to be an instant hit. The Times called me“an author setting out to rival the classic fairy tales”. I asked Sally what she thought of Nicobobinus. She said it was her favourite.【文章大意】本文是一篇传记类文章。

B(2016·江西上饶模拟)Certainly, a wellrounded education is the foundation from which all of us spring forth. I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for everlasting learning!I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children’s lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn. But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something.I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character’s parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that he received an“A”on his spelling test. She replied, “That’s great, honey, but everything has spell check these days.”It was funny—but TRUE! I don’t mean that we shouldn’t teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook.Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works—the credit card isn’t free money—you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this—they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.Choosing a career is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It’s not that she didn’t know what she wanted to do. What she “wanted to do” and the degree she chose did not match.I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven’t seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience—maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high school that give them a “feel” for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.【文章大意】本文是一篇关于教育的文章。
