B)请阅读下面短文。根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整(每小题2分)。
One of my earliest and best memories(记忆) is reading books before falling asleep. My dad built bookshelves in my bedroom. My mum painted them in different colors . 76 Horse stories in the purple shelf, poetry(诗) in the yellow, fairy tales(童话) in the blue ... I went through shelves every evening,but the fairy tales are the ones that stuck with(吸引) me.
I love fairy tales because there are many different kinds of them. Some are about action stories, and others are about love stories. Every culture has its own stories, too, so reading fair y tales from around the world can teach us about our differences and similarities.
77 With a book, I can have my own pictures of the characters, But with a film ,Hollywood(好莱坞) puts its pictures of a character into my brain(大脑). I don't like that. I already know what Beauty and the Beast《美女与野兽》looks like, and they are far more beautiful than they are in Hollywood film. Fairy tales teach us about love, hope, hard work and justice(公正). Fairy tales also expand(扩大) a child's vocabulary(词汇) and develop his ear for music. 78
Fairy tales aren't scary. 79 It's very different from the real world. That's why I, as a little kid,could happily read about evils(魔鬼), then turn out the light and sleep without nightmares(恶梦). At the same time, I was learning through imagination(想象力) about the real world. I think it's healthy for a child to visit a story-world that has good and bad, heroes and evils, happy and sad endings. 80
A. The stories were made up.
B. My sister and I put our books in them.
C. Fairy tales can help children to learn more things.
D. The story tells us about the different kinds of characters.
E. With the help of fairy tales, we can know many differences in the world.
F. I think fairy tales will help a child develop his imagination about the world.
G. I like reading the story better than watching the film with the same characters in it.
76. 77. 78. 79. 80.

Thanks for your e-mail. Now let me tell you something about my friend Wang Tao.
He is of medium build and he has short hair. Wang Tao is a little taller than me. He is one of the most outing students in our class. We all like to talk with him. He is a smart student and studies quite hard. He likes reading and his favourite subject is Chinese because he dreams to become a writer in the future. He likes sports because he believe sports can help him to keep healthy. So he runs four or five times every week.
