(每小题2分,共20分)AThere is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave.Moreover,it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of the visual media cannot be ignored.One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces(诱导)people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and,nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted(扭曲的)one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational programs can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world have great wealth and good looks.It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible(易受影响的)viewers are children,who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to copy acts that they see on TV or in the movies.With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experiences.1.From the passage we know that watching television and movies can .A. make people live betterB. make people feel pleasedC. make people change their way of lifeD. make people live worse2.The writer holds the view that .A. people may take no notice of the effects of the visual mediaB. people must pay attention to the effects of the visual mediaC. the effects of the visual media make the world changed greatlyD. the visual media only affect young people3.What would be the best title for this text?A. The Influence of Television and MoviesB. The Reason Why People Watch Television and MoviesC. Television and Movies Induce PeopleD. The Importance of Television and MoviesBMy color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately,I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise.For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial,a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show,and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me $62,and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.4.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.5.Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph l ?A.ended all their programs B.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercials D.showed all-night movies6.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting it. B.By turning it on and off.C.By switching channels. D.By having it repaired.7.How does the author sound when telling the story?A.Curious B.Anxious C.Cautious D. HumorousCWhether in the home or the workplace,social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone s happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t ju st deliver general answers to question; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns.But Oshbot,like other social robots,is not intended to replace workers,but to work alongside other employees.“We havetechnologies to train social robots to do things not for us,bu t with us,” said Breazeal.8.How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework.D. They respond to users more slowly.9.What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3 ?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B . Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.10. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will .A. train employeesB. be our workmatesC. improve technologiesD. take the place of workers第二节:七选五(每题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。

宜春中学2017届高二年级上学期开学考试第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节:阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
(每小题2分,共30分)AWhen a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard, I was one of the first to go out there and pet it. I hadn't touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years. I spent at least 20 minutes, knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around, relaxed. It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care.Over the next few days, there were other prisoners responding to the cat. Every yard period, a group of prisoners gathered there. They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat. These were guys you wouldn't usually find talking to each other. Several times I saw an officer in the group, not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners. Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it.The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape. People said that the cat came to the right place. He's getting treated like a king. This was true, but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us. There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America. We need more programs. We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds. Some may even talk about making prisons more kind. But I think what we reallyneed is a chance to practise our own kindness. Not receive it, but give it. After more than two decades here, I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged. It's often seen as a weakness.Instead, the culture encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business, and never letting yourself be weak.The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here. By simply saying, "I need some help here", he did something important for us. He needed us. And we needed to be needed. I believe we all do.21. From the passage, we can learn that the author was .A. an animal protectorB. the cat's ownerC. a prison officerD. a prisoner22. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison.B. The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat.C. The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds.D. The author realized the importance of practising kindness.23. We can infer from the third paragraph that .A. showing love to others can make prisoners strongB. the American prison culture will be improvedC. the author is not content with the prison cultureD. caring for others is encouraged in American prisons24. What is the best title for the passage?A. Caring Makes Us Human.B. Prison Culture Is Important.C. Animals Need Care.D. Everyone Needs to Be Cared for.BThis tour combines not only locations from the movie and the true story but our experienced guides will accompany you throughout the tour giving you all the information you need to really appreciate this magical movie, The Sound of Music.Prices start from £260 per person.

She says she dropped him off at the bus stop each morning and taught him the importance of education. She was worried about finding childcare for her four young children while serving the time."We're dealing with less than l percent of students and parents, and certainly this is one of the toughest decisions we have," Jonathan Brice, who is in charge of the school district's truancy office, told Green. "But it's critical that we get those parents' and young people's attention about the seriousness of being in school." Education experts, however, were less confident that cracking down on parents would lift attendance.The school system's court liaison Alfred Barbour told the paper that no parents served jail time last year—and that only three did in 2009. Hundreds of them are recorded each year for truancy however, and charges are filed after a student misses 15 days. For parents to be convicted( 宣告……有罪), the school has to prove they knew their child wasn't attending school.California's new strict anti-truancy bill took effect at the beginning of this year. Parents can serve up to a year in jail if convicted of allowing their children to skip class. Florida and Texas already have similar laws on the books. And one Michigan prosecutor(检察官) wants an ordinance passed to send parents who miss parent-teacher conferences to jail for three days a pop.29. Why did Barbara Gaskins was sentenced?A. Because she had five children.B. Because she wasn't a good mother.C. Because she didn't know her son's truancy.D. Because her son missed over 15 days and she knew it.30. The underlined phrase "cracking down on" means “”.A. dealing withB. paying attention toC. agreeing withD. slipping up(出错)31. The main idea of the last paragraph isA. Baltimore sends parents to jail for truant kidsB. parents should attend parent-teacher conferences on timeC. many states don't attach importance to the school educationD. punishing parental laziness has had something of a nationwide movement latelyDWarning: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may damage her emotional health in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy ( 认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused(虐待) by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who are identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in destructive relationships as adults.Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby, developed the theory. She interviewed 67 female abused survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experience abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive (顺从的)female characters in fairy tales, who were later rescued(拯救)by a stranger, prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. "They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents' behaviors," she said. Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners. "For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw (缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down." "The question," said Ms Darker Smith, "is why she did not break the door down herself."32. The passage is especially intended forA. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters33. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that .A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse34. Which of the following statements is TRUE of the women in a control group?A. They don't believe in fairy tales.B. They don't believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.35. With the last sentence of the passage, Ms Darker Smith intends to .A. give a warningB. make a conclusionC. make a suggestionD. raise a question第二节:七选五(每题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。

A Bite of China, made by CCTV's Documentary Channel, sparked discussion not only on Chinese food, but also on locally made documentary programs.When you think of documentaries(纪录片), you may think of them as long, boring programs.But documentaries can be wonderful and bring stories from the real world into our homes.With fascinating footage(影片片段) and stories, documentaries encourage us to think about interesting issues we wouldn't necessarily know about.So, what makes a good documentary, and what should we pay attention to when we watch one? Here, we offer a few easy strategies to help you get the most out of watching documenta ries.Pay attention to the themesWhile watching a documentary, keep your eyes and ears peeled for the themes people talk about and what ideas they focus on.Is it meant to be informative or raise a certain emotional response?Think criticallyListen to what the people in the documentary are saying and ask yourself the following qu estions: If you were debating with someone or introducing a new concept, would you say the things the people in the documentary are saying? Do the arguments make sense?Check the sourcesIf you're sitting at the computer and can't think of anything to do, why not look up the points the documentary made and see if they are accurate? You could even read more about what is presented in the documentary.Who are the creators?The creators or financial backers of a film will usually be involved with how the subject ma tter is presented.For instance, as the documentary-2016: Obama's America, was directed in large part by a conservative writer, it's not surprising that it's critical of President Obama from the beginning.(1)The passage is mainly written to________.A inform us of factors of good documentaries.B help us enjoy documentaries better.C introduce ways of making documentaries.D help us figure out themes of docume ntaries.(2)Why is 2016:Obama's America mentioned in the article?________A Because the author dislikes Obama.B Because it is directed by a writer.C Beca use it is quite popular in China.D Because it is a persuasive example.(3)According to the passage,________.A it is always difficult to get the themes of documentaries.B financial backers often ap pear in documentaries.C it's better to think twice about what is in documentaries.D many points of documentaries are not accurate.12. When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as imp ortant as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence.Some have a higher level of confidenc e than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of c onfidence and reach their most important goals.Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals. One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace.We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise.This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities.After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve mo re money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is i mportant to success.If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence , and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job.If you can make yourself the person people g o to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing.After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve.Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy in creased success and confidence.(1)What is the passage mainly about?________A The influence of confidence on one's life.B The importance of confidence to success .C The difference of people's confidence.D The judgment on one's confidence.(2)Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those________.A who think their goals are hard to reach.B who expect to give guidance to others.C who want to ask the boss for a raise.D who dream to be recognized experts.(3)What does the underlined word"indispensable"in Paragraph 5probably mean?________A important.B attractive.C outgoing.D energetic.(4)What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?________A To overlook one's disadvantages.B To make full use of one's advantages.C To have great confidence in one's abilities.D To make objective evaluations of one's abiliti es.13. It may surprise bookworms, but apparently masterpieces such as Jane Eyre are lacking in something-sound effects.An electronic-book firm is adding background noises and music to the works of Charlotte Bronte, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Shakespeare in the hope of attracting younger readers.In one ex ample, a description of rain lashing against a window in a Sherlock Holmes story will be"enh anced"with matching noises.The first multimedia e-books-with sounds to accompany novels-will be available this Friday in the UK.The Booktrack releases are available to iPad users, wi th other tablet computer versions to follow.The concept is already in use in the U.S., wh ere the classics come with added sound effects.Readers for example can hear the china cups chinking in Mr.Darcy's garden as they read Pride And Prejudice.A story by Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie will be released later in the year with a sp ecially crafted orchestral score.Rushdie's story In The South will be released with a soundtr ack provided by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.The Power Of Six by Pittacus Lore, a novel for young adults, is one of the first to be tested w ith a soundtrack which builds in suspense in keeping with the plot.It works by timing the s peed of each reader and the software measures the"turning"of a page and moves the music or sounds along accordingly.It has been created by Booktrack which synchronizes (使同步) music to each novel.It is funded by Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal.Mr.Thiel said, "It's always exciting to witness the creation of a new form of media.The t echnology promises to captivate readers in a different way."However, they have been greeted with horror by traditionalists, who say the technology ta kes away the pleasure of having one's imagination stimulated by a story.They also raise the prospect (预期) of having to ask an overly eager reader to turn their book down.David Nicholls, whose bestseller One Day was recently turned into a film starring Anne Hathaway, said, "This sounds like the opposite of reading.It would be a distraction."(1)What's the purpose of the electronic-book firm adding sound effects to masterpieces?________A To add some creative factors to the e-books. B To arouse interest of the readers. C To satisfy the readers'great need.D To promote the technology progress.(2)Where was the idea that sounds are added to accompany novels first put forward?________A Britain.B Australia.C New Zealand.D America.(3) The following should be done to make a soundtrack work,EXCEPT________.A measuring how long each reader spends in reading.B increasing the volume of the music or sounds.C making out the reading speed.D changing the music or sound s with pages turned.(4) What's Mr.Thiel'attitude to the future of the new form of media?________A Doubtful.B Indifferent.C Hopeful.D Pessimistic.14. A recent study has shown that eating a small amount of dark chocolate every day could be good for your health.Scientists have found that a regular 2ounces can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of having a heart attack or stroke(中风)without any weight gain.But take care before you reach for a large bar.The effects are can celed out if more than 30calories are taken into your body each day, the researchers warn. It's already known that a chemical called polyphenol(多酚), found in chocolate, can help reduce blood pressure, and blood pressure lowered in this way can reduce the risk of death from a stroke by 8percent and from a heart attack by 5perce nt, scientists declare.And it can also reduce the risk or death in general by 4percent.A daily diet with a little chocolate has the same effect with some special diets designed to l ower blood pressure, according to one researcher."Although all the degree of the blood pre ssure reduction is small, the effects are quite obvious, "the researchers said.However, Sara Stanner, a nutritionist at the British Heart Foundation, is quite cautious."T his study suggests that small quantities of small chocolate might have good effects on blood p ressure.However, it is important to remember that chocolate is also high in fat and calories .So eating much is not good for your heart.""Polyphenols are also found in fruits and vege tables, which can be taken in without the risks associated with overintake, "she added.But the German study shows that the fat content does not cancel out the good effects-at least where small amounts are concerned.(1)How is Paragraph 2developed?________A By making comparisons.B By listing figures.C By analyzing causes.D By giving examples.(2)What health benefits does dark chocolate have?________A It lowers blood pressure heavily.B It may prevent heart attacks in a way.C It's useful for controlling one's weight.D It helps people strengthen their body.(3)What do Sara Stanner's words suggest?________A Eating chocolate has no health benefits.B Dark chocolate is not so nutritious as expe cted.C The findings of scientist's study are not scientific.D Eating fruits and vege tables may be a better choice.(4)What will be discussed in the following passage?________A Some details of the German study.B Benefits of fruits and vegetables.C Harmof overeating dark chocolate. D The proper amount of dark chocolate taken in.第二节(共1小题;每小题10分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.15. It's normal to wake briefly during the night.(1)________But if you're waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep,the following tips may help.Stay out of your head.The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body fo r sleep,so remain in bed in a relaxed position.Hard as it may be,try not to stress over the fact that you're awake,because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake.(2)________(3)________If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep,try a relaxation technique such as visualization,deep breathing,or meditation,which can be done without even getting out of bed.Remind yourself that although they're n ot a replacement for sleep,rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.Do a quiet,non-stimulating activity.If you've been awake for more than 15minutes,try getting out of bed and doing a quiet,non-stimulating activity,such as reading a book.Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it's time to wake up.(4)________A light snack might help relax you,but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that time of the da y.(5)________If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something,make a brief note of it on paper and postpone worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve.A.Make relaxation your goal,not sleep.B.Put off worries and troubles.C.Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night.D.In fact,a good sleeper won't even remember it.E.Also avoid screens of any kind-computers,TVs,cell phones,iPads,F.You'll be much more productive and creative after a good night's sleep.G.A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第1节完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)请认真阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项.16.

(每小题2分,共30分)AWhen a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard, I was one of the first to go out there and pet it. I hadn't touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years. I spent at least 20 minutes, knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around, relaxed. It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care.Over the next few days, there were other prisoners responding to the cat. Every yard period, a group of prisoners gathered there. They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat. These were guys you wouldn't usually find talking to each other. Several times I saw an officer in the group, not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners. Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it.The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape. People said that the cat came to the right place. He's getting treated like a king. This was true, but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us. There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America. We need more programs. We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds. Some may even talk about making prisons more kind. But I think what we reallyneed is a chance to practise our own kindness. Not receive it, but give it. After more than two decades here, I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged. It's often seen as a weakness.Instead, the culture encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business, and never letting yourself be weak.The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here. By simply saying, "I need some help here", he did something important for us. He needed us. And we needed to be needed. I believe we all do.21. From the passage, we can learn that the author was .A. an animal protectorB. the cat's ownerC. a prison officerD. a prisoner22. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison.B. The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat.C. The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds.D. The author realized the importance of practising kindness.23. We can infer from the third paragraph that .A. showing love to others can make prisoners strongB. the American prison culture will be improvedC. the author is not content with the prison cultureD. caring for others is encouraged in American prisons24. What is the best title for the passage?A. Caring Makes Us Human.B. Prison Culture Is Important.C. Animals Need Care.D.

She says she dropped him off at the bus stop each morning and taught him the importance of education. She was worried about finding childcare for her four young children while serving the time."We're dealing with less than l percent of students and parents, and certainly this is one of the toughest decisions we have," Jonathan Brice, who is in charge of the school district's truancy office, told Green. "But it's critical that we get those parents'and young people's attention about the seriousness of being in school." Education experts, however, were less confident that cracking down on parents would lift attendance.The school system's court liaison Alfred Barbour told the paper that no parents served jail time last year—and that only three did in 2009. Hundreds of them are recorded each year for truancy however, and charges are filed after a student misses 15 days. For parents to be convicted( 宣告……有罪), the school has to prove they knew their child wasn't attending school.California's new strict anti-truancy bill took effect at the beginning of this year. Parents can serve up to a year in jail if convicted of allowing their children to skip class. Florida and Texas already have similar laws on the books. And one Michigan prosecutor(检察官) wants an ordinance passed to send parents who miss parent-teacher conferences to jail for three days a pop.29. Why did Barbara Gaskins was sentenced?A.

A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy ( 认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused(虐待) by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who are identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in destructive relationships as adults.Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby, developed the theory. She interviewed 67 female abused survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experience abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children.These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive (顺从的)female characters in fairy tales, who were later rescued(拯救)by a stranger, prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. "They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents' behaviors," she said. Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners. "For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw (缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down." "The question," said Ms Darker Smith, "is why she did not break the door down herself."32.
