Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have   36   how difficult it is to write a   37   children's book.  Either the author has aimed too   38. , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,   39   the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children's books are  40   very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 41  who hears the story and the adult who   42    it. Unfortunately, there are in fact  43   books like this,  44   the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not   45   to solve.
This may be why many of books regarded as  46   of children's literature were in fact written for   47 . “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most   48   of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 49  the worst possible interest in literature. Just  leave a child in bookshop or  50 and he will more  willingly choose the books 51 in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics (连环画), full of the stories and jokes to which both teachers and right-thinking parents  52  .
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to persuade children into   53   our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so   54  that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the  55  books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise（妥协） over that bedtime story.

A young Scottish lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home. The daughter objected to her family’s 　【小题1】　lifestyle and said, “I don’t want your God. I am leaving!” She left home.

She stopped at 　【小题6】　of the rescue missions(收容所) with a simple speech. “Would you allow me to 　【小题7】　this picture?” It was a picture of the smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten 　【小题8】　at the bottom: “I love you still … come home!”
One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat 　【小题9】　listening to the service, all the while letting her 　【小题10】　wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?
She couldn’t 　【小题11】　until the service was over. She stood and went to look. It was her mother, and there were those words, “I love you still … come home!”　【小题12】　she stood in front of the picture, she wept. It was too 　【小题13】　to be true.
It was night, but she was so 　【小题14】　by the message that she started walking home.　【小题15】　the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and 　【小题16】　her way timidly.

Concerned for her mother’s 　【小题18】　, the young girl ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me! It’s me! I’m home!”
The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s 　【小题19】　. The daughter said, “I was so worried and thought someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been 　【小题20】　.”

It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females __21_ different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in __22_ structure and activity.

Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains _26__from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids.

Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her __30__ of landmarks. Both of them find the car.
