Ⅱ.阅读理解
Children’s books or children’s literature are very hard to define and categorise，because there is no set genre for children to enjoy.All in all they can be categorised into six major classes，namely early childhood picture books，traditional literature，fiction，non-fiction，biography and poetry.
Children have unique taste and interest.Although Harry Potter may be an all-time favourite book for children all over the globe，they prefer funny books to fairy tales when it comes to bedtime.The top three favourite books in bedtime stories are The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler，The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and The BFG by Roald Dahl.
There are many writers who popularised the children’s literature or children’s books through their brilliant works.John Amos Comenius is the author of Orbis Pictus which is considered to be the first picture book specifically for children.Charles Perrault is believed to be the one who laid the foundation of fairy tales.Perrault’s stories include Little Red Riding Hood，Cinderella，Sleeping Beauty and so on.Hans Christian Anderson is best known for his fairy tales，such as The Snow Queen，The Little Mermaid and The Emperor’s New Clothes.
Many children’s books have been made into feature films and are equally successful in this medium，like Alice in Wonderland，the BFG series and the Harry Potter series.These series collected a huge amount of money when released worldwide in cinema halls.All these movies based on popular children’s books are not only popular among children but also popular among adult audience

参考范文I am a Senior 3 student.I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school.My mother holds the view that students in Senior 3,heavily burdened with their studies,are too busy to spare any time to watch TV.It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that I will not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often.But I really can’t accept her ideas.I think it is relaxing to watch TV after a day’s hard work.Not only can it set my mind at rest,but it can broaden my horizons.Now we have at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends,and the programs should be limited to news,entertainment,sports or science.
