There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.

　　No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

　　A. in a realistic setting

　　B. heard for the first time

　　C. repeated too often

　　D. told in a different way

　　3. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.

　　A. makes them less fearful
