Anxious C “A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened,” writes C.S. Lewis in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children. Those who say

33、 that children must not be frightened mean two things. Firstly, they mean that we mustnt do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence, wounds, good and evil (邪恶). C.S. Lewis says he agrees with the fi

34、rst reason, but not the second. He goes on to remark, “Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to fac

35、e fears and hardships.” “It would be nice,” he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright hero in armor, is a better comfort than the idea of the police.” Bruno Bettelheim, a well-known child psychologist, also

36、 points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the k

37、ind of happy life children wan t to find. A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life. Its believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality. Its what good literature does it makes life larger. 41. According to the first paragrap

40、ildren to have a lot of fantasies. B. Because it helps children overcome fears and find solutions. C. Because it tea ches children to write their own fantasy stories. D.
