Before dawn (黎明), 12 very tired girls in worn-out slippers (破拖鞋) went back to bed. Tramper hurried in front of them and lay down on the sofa. There the King found him, circled by worn-out slippers, sound asleep.

“Well?” the King asked. You might think that Tramper told the King about what he had seen, but no. He had enjoyed the salmon (三文魚) so much that he was hoping for a second supper.

“Two more tries,” said the King. “That’s all!”

The next night, the princesses brought Tramper turkey and a cup of tea for his supper. He ate up the turkey but drank no tea. Instead, he gave the palace parrot his tea and it fell off its sleeping place, sound asleep.

The princesses and Tramper fell asleep, too—or so it seemed. Later that night … the distant sound of silvery music began. The 12 princesses jumped out of bed, into the wardrobe (衣柜), and ran across the garden of ruby roses, through the orchard (果園) of diamond fruit and up the glass steps into the castle. Tramper followed them with the magic scarf over his head.

Again the elves (精靈小矮人) were waiting. Again the princesses danced and danced until their slippers were worn out. Before dawn, the tired princesses made their way home. Tramper hurried ahead of them and lay down on the sofa.

There the King found him, circled by worn-out slippers, sound asleep. “Well?” You might think that Tramper told the King about what he had seen, but no. He had enjoyed the turkey so much that he was hoping for a third supper.

“One more night,” said the King, “… and what’s wrong with the parrot?”

“Don’t tell anyone”. We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. Often, we can’t help “spilling the beans”, even if we regret it later.

According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge(沖動) to share it with someone.

An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the daily Mail.

But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either getting or losing the trust of someone.” according to Shah.

He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn't mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.

Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret any more.

1.The underlined phrase “spilling the beans” in paragraph 1 probably means _______.

A. Keeping a secret B. Discussing a secret

C. Letting out a secret D. Thinking about a secret

2.Why may keeping a secret “become a burden”?

A. Because people who tell a secret may feel regretful.

B. Because people who keep a secret may feel stressed.

C. Because people may feel depressed after letting out the secrets.

D. Because people are forced to share their secrets with others.

3.From the passage, we can infer that _______.

A. People may feel guilty if they keep secrets for someone close to them

B. Keeping a secret may lead to distrust between close friends

C. To tell talkative people a secret may cause them much stress

D. It’s always a good idea to share secrets with quiet people

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Keeping secrets is a burden. B. Don’t tell secrets to anyone.

C. Always share secrets with others. D. Others’ secrets are no more secrets.
