Recently, children’s literature(文學) 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 can enjoy the fantasy world, which is never boring. The 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 word 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. Both children and adults who love children’s literature can get much pleasure from it.

1.Is children’s literature becoming popular now?

2.What’s the fantasy world like?

3.What does the sentence “Right always beats wrong in the end.” mean in Chinese?

4.How does children’s literature influence children in education?

5.How do the people feel when they read children’s literature?

I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn't say a word．But I knew he was going to say a little to me．"I can't tell anything．" he finally said．“I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college．I can't say don't do this and do that, because everything is different and I don't know what is going to come up．I can't help much with money either, but I think things will work out．”

He gave me a new check-book（支票簿）．“If things get pushing, write a small check．But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much．There are some things we can always sell．” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars．My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers' kids filled in the financial gaps．

"You know what you want to be, and they'll tell you what to take," my father went on．“When you get a job, be sure it's honest, and work hard．” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you．

Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible（圣經(jīng)）that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours．I knew he would miss it．I knew, though, that I must take it．

He didn't say read this every morning．He just said," This can help you if you will let it．”

Did it help? I got through college without being a burden（負擔） on the family．I have been able to make money since．

On the first day of school, Jack found a little old lady with a warm smile.“Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old.”she said.

“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” Jack asked.

“I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retired and travel.” she answered.

Can you imagine what it would be like to live and study in an ancient castle (城堡)? I’m talking about British boarding (寄宿) schools， where some children actually live like Harry Potter (although sadly without the magic).

Boarding schools in Britain are not cheap. The average cost is￡25，152 (254，011 yuan) for just one year. The schools are usually very old and rich in history. They played a big role in British history， and have close connections to Oxford and Cambridge universities. Students are usually very rich； Prince William and Harry both went to Eton， a school which has produced 19 British prime ministers (首相).

One of the most important things for these schools is sport. Cricket (板球)， rugby (英式橄欖球) and rowing (賽艇運動) are played nearly every day. These games build teamwork and discipline (紀律). There is a famous saying in English， “The British Empire (帝國) was built on the playing fields of Eton.”

Boarding schools often appear in English books and films. The young child without parents growing up in a boarding school is found in hundreds of stories， although the most famous now is Harry Potter. Boarding schools are becoming less traditional， though， and more international. Nearly 9，000 foreign kids joined a British boarding school last year， and a third of these came from China.

1.Are boarding schools expensive in Britain?

________________________________________

2.What is the school Eton famous for?

________________________________________

3.What can students learn from those daily sports?

________________________________________

4.How many Chinese students went to British boarding schools last year?

________________________________________
