| There was room for all of us, and sleeping bags kept the night chill away.We would listen to the sound of the river, and hear the coyotes(丛林狼) howling along the hills not far away. Those were the cool summer nights of the mid nineties in Southern Alberta, Canada, when the fou r children were young and we would lie on the trampoline(蹦床) in the backyard late at night, for the sun would not set till late in July and August.We would look at the stars up above.It was a simple painting of little white dots on a black canvas, but we would never grow tired of looking at it.As our eyes surveyed that starry wonder we would see streaks of lights as meteors(流星) hit the atmosphere and burn up, or we would follow the meteors'steady path across the sky till it would also disappear. These were the times when I would tell the stories of my own childhood and teach the kids life's lessons that have been remembered to this day.I chuckle, as I recall the time when we heard a coyote not far away, that I started a story about a bear sneaking (溜)up to the trampoline.The closer the bear came (in the story )the closer the kids snuggled up to mom and I, until suddenly I let out this big daddy growl and grabbed all the kids.They would startle and jump up and then all laugh, "Daddy, you scared us!" Now the children are in their mid and late teens, but they fondly remember the starry nights on that trampoline.Recently my oldest daughter on her wedding day sang a song for her parents, entitled I'll always be your little girl.She wrote the music and words；it included a memory of those starry nights. I have learned as a parent that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children as they are growing up is the time to tell them stories, or if telling stories is not that simple, perhaps read them a story.They can read their own books and it will benefit them greatly academically, but telling or reading them a story will create an inseparable bond(联系) with pleasant memories such as those late summer nights in the starry sky. 1. The best title for this text should be ________. A. An Important Lesson B. A Father's Frightening Story C. Memories of Starry Nights D. A Parent's Story 2. What's the importance of telling or reading stories to children? A. It can teach them much knowledge while they are listening to stories. B. It will improve their listening abilities as well as their understanding abilities. C. It will help them remember their happy moments in past days. D. It can build up good links between parents and their children. 3. In this story, the writer compares the night sky to ________. A. a black canvas with little white dots B. little white dots C. streaks of lights D. the satellites'path 4. How did the writer feel when he was telling the story on the dark night? A. Frightened. B. Happy. C. Sad. D. Worried. |

| Many parents don't love to read to their children.But there are so many professionals and PhDs doing the opposite thing.And they really promote reading to children, which is so good for children.I have found that this is true with my own children. I am not sure if it is the book or the fact that you are spending quality time with them, undivided time that they will remember for their entire life.Reading to children is one of the most bonding experiences you can have. Children enjoy sitting on your lap while your voice flows over them.As the reader it is fun to watch their littl e faces as they are moved with the flow of the story.They are laughing one moment and on the next page the story has moved them to tears.As the storyteller, I am just as moved as they are；I am caught up in the story as our emotions flow up and down.You can easily lose a whole afternoon in reading. This is an experience that children then try to pass on to younger children, reading books to them.My daughter was so into reading that if she couldn't line up some neighbors'children she could be reading her books to, she would line up her stuffed animals and read to them.Well, she also tried to teach her neighbors and teddy bears math, and "ocean science "as she called it.She would read anything she could to them. And to my astonishment the neighbors'parents told me they really appreciated the fact that their children were doing so much better in school. 1.
