　　Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading?More and more 　　1　　 and teachers have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers 　　2　　 on streets．

　　These printed thins look like newspapers 　　3　　 have hardly anything to do with them．You can only find reading materials badly 　　4　　 there-some are too strange for anyone to 　　5　　; others are frightening stories of something 　　6　　 worse．However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such 　　7　　 reading, which 　　8　　 them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares and bad ideas in 　　9　　．Homework is left 　　10　　 and daily games lost．

　　These sellers stand about on streets selling their papers well．The writers, publishers and printers, 　　11　　 they are, we never know, are 　　12　　 their silent money．

　　The sheep-skinned wolf’s story seems to have been forgotten once again．Why not 　　13　　 this kind of thing?Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers．　　14　　, the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it．　　15　　 you may even find several children, driven by their curious natures, 　　16　　 one patched paper, which has traveled from hand to hand．

　　It really does 　　17　　 to our society．It has already formed a sort of moral 　　18　　．The worried teachers and parents need more powerful 　　19　　 in their protection of the young．Meanwhile, they young readers need more interesting books to help them 　　20　　 those ugly paper．
