Maurice Sendak’s children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.
The book’s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to a land where monsters live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.
The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills and challenge them.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me’,” Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” Davis said. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the thing under the bed that’s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”
Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children. “You don’t want bad dreams over a book that’s extremely wonderful,” Davis said.
46. Teachers and professors like the book Where the Wild Things Are because it helps children ________.

科目:高中英語 來源:2010-2011學(xué)年北京市東城區(qū)高三下學(xué)期二模英語試題 題型:閱讀理解
I had looked forward to this day for a long time.Finally I, Kirsty Sturart, would stand on the top of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe.Although I climbed often in my native Scotland, this was my first trip to the Alps.My companions—Jean Pierre Barton, Maurice Gautier, and Mary Sargent—and I left our camp early and planned to reach the top by late morning.
As we neared the top, large clouds gathered and it began to snow.We found shelter and decided to wait for the snow to stop.After three hours, however, we decided to go back and try again the next day.We started down the mountain in the thick snow.Jean-Pierre forgot his sunglasses and went back to look for them.As he was returning to us, he started to fall.
His fall started an avalanche(雪崩) and it was falling towards us! I was swept away by the heavy snow. Jean-Pierre hurried down to me.“Are you OK?” he asked.
“I think I broke my leg,” I answered.
“I’d better radio for help!” he said.“Where are the others?” We couldn’t see Maurice or Mary anywhere.
Jean-Pierre called the emergency radio number, and the police said they would send help right away.It seemed like hours, but only minutes later we heard the welcome sound of a helicopter. The helicopter couldn’t land on the mountainside, so they lowered two men, two dogs, and a stretcher(擔(dān)架).One man ran to me, but I told him to search for the others.The dogs were trained for avalanche rescue and soon began to dig crazily in the snow.
Bernardo, the lead dog, found Mary’s scarf and led the rescuers to her.Maurice was nearby.The men gave us hot drinks and warm blankets and then prepared to lift us into the helicopter.Two men inside the helicopter pulled us up with the ropes.I went first on the stretcher.
Once we were safely inside, the helicopter flew to the hospital in Chamonix.Our poor rescuers and their dogs had to climb all the way back down the mountain.Later we would find these brave men and thank them for saving our lives.
1.What prevented the climbers from reaching the top?
A.The terrible weather.
B.The loss of the sunglasses.
C.The injury of the team members.
D.The unexpected height of the mountain.
2.How did the writer break his leg?
A.The road was covered with snow.
B.His companion knocked into him.
C.The heavy clouds blocked his view.
D.The avalanche caused a fall for him.
3.How did the writer feel while waiting for help?
A.Anxious. B.Crazy. C.Sorry. D.Annoyed.
4.What do we learn from the passage?
A.Mary was the leader of the team.
B.The team was upset about their failure.
C.It was several hours before the rescue team arrived .
D.The writer was excited thinking of climbing Mount Blanc.
