    Parents can  35  that their children’s skills are different，skilled(有技能的)in some areas while poor in others．But most  36  fail to realize that the children today need more self-confidence．

   The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to  37  tests and how to study well, but they are not teaching them the most important skills that they need．And these skills are important to help them to be  38  ，happy and clever．

    As a teacher，I think it is right to tell my students to write about their true feelings and real experiences．I always taught my students how to learn by experience．And I also found that it helped me a lot to get on well with the students．

    One day after explaining a tex，I asked my students to write a passage about their families．I encouraged them to write about their real experiences with their closest family members．All the students wrote quite well but the best one of them was written by a little girl．She was Hao Fang．I was deeply moved by her story．In her passage，she said her father had died years before and her mother had to work hard to support the family．Many times she had seen her mother work deep into night but never seen tears on her face．She also wrote that she needed to stay strong and she would do the best to give her mother an easier life in the future．Like her mother, Hao Fang also worked hard at her lessons and she was really good at any of them．I don’t know anything about her unlucky family till then．She always appeared happy and never showed that she needed anyone’s help．

    In order to make her an example to the class．I read this passage to the class．When I finished reading it，I found my throat choked and my students’ eyes full of tears．After class nearly all my other students crowded around Hao Fang and gave their money to help this girl．We knew her family needed money very much．Many students decided to offer her more help．To tell the truth，I was really proud of my students．

    But to my surprise，this student of mine didn’t express her thanks to her classmates and left school without even telling me the next day．I was puzzled about this．

    Was it right to tell her sad story to the class? Why did she refuse to accept the donation? These questions crowded my mind．

56．The teacher mentioned in the article always __________．

    A．made the students feel sad

    B．asked the students to make up stories

    C．helped the students learn from the real life

57．Hao Fang wrote about her family’s hard life in order to______．

   A．tell her real experiences

   B．show how strong she was

   C．ask her classmates for money

58．The underlined“choked”means________ in Chinese．

  A．哽咽                B．激动            C．疼痛

59．By reading the article，we know that Hao Fang__________．

  A．appreciated the donation

  B．was frustrated at her hard life

  C．wanted to improve her family’s life by working hard

60．We can learn from the article that __________．

  A．the ways of helping people should be well chosen

  B．it’s wrong to ask students to tell their real experiences

Ⅵ．阅读理解(二)(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)

  阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

  Recently, children’s literature(文学)has become more and more popular．In fact, children’s literature has been welcomed by both children and adults．People have tried to find out why adults love children’s literature just like children themselves．But there is no final answer．

   Children’s literature is very different from adults’ literature．Most of it is fantasy(幻想) ．That means children can use their imagination．They most important thing is that the world is bright and hopeful．In the fantasy world, dead people can be alive again and broken legs can grow once more．Right always beats wrong in the end．

    Children’s literature can also influence children a lot in education．When they read，their knowledge is increased and children know more about the truth．For a child who just learns to read，understanding the meaning of a word may be greater than learning the world itself．

    Children’s literature is not only for children．A large number of adults like it too．Not only young adults, parents and teachers, but also other people of all ages enjoy it．

66．Is children’s literature becoming popular now?
