Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales, like “True love can overcome anything.” and “Even a frog can turn into a prince". However, at a certain age, we start to learn new things about life, especially that love doesn't always win, and that a frog is just a frog..
“Fairy tales have always been with us because they are the stories of our lives in their simplest form.” wrote US author Laura Packer on the National Storytelling Network website. “They are stories of love and loss, desire and death, riches and ruin.”
Fairy tales are all about reality (现实). But if children only see just one side of reality, adults usually see the other.
For example, in the 2014 film Maleficent, we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the eyes of the evil(邪恶的) queen. Unlike the children’s eyes of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t born evil. Instead, she is in a lot of troubles as she grows up, which leads to the creation of her “evil” side. And in US author James Finn Gamer’s book Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, he tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood, but with a modern version: When the wolf tells Red Riding Hood that it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through the woods alone, she calls the wolf sexist(性别歧视者), which relates to today’s opinions that girls aren't weaker than boys.
It seems that fairy tales aren't just stories that our parents read us at bedtime. They may usually start with "Once upon a time.” but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn't always need a "Happily ever after" to be a good one.
1.Which of the following is NOT a fairy tale?
A.The Frog Prince.
B.National Storytelling Network
C.Sleeping Beauty
D.Little Red Riding Hood.
2.According to Packer, why have fairy tales always been with us?
A.Because true love can overcome anything
B.Because they are full of imagination.
C.Because they always have happy endings.
D.Because they are about our lives in their simplest form.
3.What can we infer from the text?
A.A good fairy tale usually has a “Happily ever after”.
B.Adults usually see the other side of fairy tales.
C.Our understanding of fairy tales changes as we grow up.
D.Children and adults always enjoy different kinds of fairy tales.
4.The best title of the passage may be
A.The True Love of Fairy Tales
B.Learning Life Lessons
C.The Dark Side of Fairy Tales
D.Troubles in Fairy Tales
