Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story __1__ their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a __2__ children’s book. Either the author has aimed (定目標) too __3__, so that children can’t follow what is in his ( or more often, her ) story, __4__ the story seems to be talking to the readers.
　　
　　The best children’s books are __5__ very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy(令人滿意的) the __6__ who hears the story and the adult(成年人) who __7__ it. Unfortunately(不幸的是), there are in fact few books like this, __8__ the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not __9__ to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as __10__ of children’s literature(文學) were in fact written for __11__ “Alice in Wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious(明顯)of this.
　　
　　Children, left for themselves, often __12__ the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a __13__ and he will more willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative (并非想象的 ) way, or have a look at the most children’s comics(連環(huán)圖書), full of the stories and jokes which are the rejections of teachers and righting-thinking parents.
　　
　　Perhaps we parents should stop __14__ to brainwash(洗腦)children into accepting(接受)our taste in literature. After all, children and adults are so __15__ that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise(妥協(xié))over the bedtime story.
