another matter - it’s against the law. Laws are __ 1____ rules made by governments. They keep peace
and create order. ____ 2_____people break laws, their governments punish them. Long ago, people lived
only in small tribal groups. They lived together, followed the same ____3____, and worshipped the same
gods. There were no formal laws. ____4____, people were guided by their customs, morals, and
religion.
Over time, cities began to form. Laws became more formal and were written down in legal codes. In
about 1750 BC, the king of Babylon ____5_____ one of the first legal codes, the Code of Hammurabi. It
listed certain crimes and told how they should be punished. The ancient Romans helped shape our modern
view of law. In the 600s BC, citizens of Rome wrote down all of their basic laws on twelve bronze tablets.
The Romans declared that no citizen, ____6___ the ruler, was above the law. Modern law codes are root
ed in the Roman system. Such law codes are statutory, meaning they are created and changed by
legislatures, not by courts.
Another system of law ___7___ later in England. Before the 12th century AD., each part of
England had its own rules and customs. From the 12th century onward, England became a single nation.
The courts of the land made sure people ___8___ a common set of customs-the English common law.
Unlike the Roman system of law, the common law was never written down in one place. Instead, the
courts made decisions about the law ___9___earlier court decisions. Those decisions are called examples.
Each case must be decided in the same way as earlier cases. But if a case has some new aspects, the
decision made will set a new example. That way, courts gradually change the law ___10___ society

hopeless about it. Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?
To be sure, people are different. You cannot expect to do everything as well as certain other people
do. If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would
be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better
players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some
seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job.
In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.
Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In
these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their
reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months,
another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.

and real.You don"t show your secret personality when you"re awake because you can control your
behaviour,but when you"re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of
course,people frequently change their position.The important position is the one that you go to sleep
in.
If you go to sleep on your back,you"re a very open person.You normally trust people and you are
easily influenced by fashion or new ideas.You don"t like to upset people,so you never express your real
feelings.You"re quite shy and you aren"t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach,you are a rather secretive(不坦率的)person.You worry a lot
and you"re always easily upset.You"re very stubborn(顽固的),but you aren"t very ambitious.You
usually live for today not for tomorrow.This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up(卷曲),you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion
of yourself and so you"re often defensive.You"re shy and you don"t normally like meeting people.You
prefer to be on your own.You"re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your
strengths and weaknesses.You"re usually careful. You have a confident personality.You sometimes
feel anxious,but you don"t often get depressed.You always say what you think even if it annoys
people.

words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better
to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the
time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad
thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have
read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think,
some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现)
from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into
the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true,
that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond
of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such
people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were
sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or
covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believe
d that it was.

C. they are not interesting
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach
with 2 (confident) and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language, and fourthly,
we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are 3 (grammatical) correct.
There is no easy way to succeed 4 language learning. 5 good memory is a great help, but it is
not enough only 6 (memorize) rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long
lists of words and their meanings, 7 (study) the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the
language. If we are 8 (satisfy) with only a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the
language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those 9 are studying a new language.
Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language 10 we can.
