Now when I re­read the stories, I really think many of them are not suitable for little kids to read. An evil queen is forced to dance herself to death wearing red­hot iron shoes, a prince falls in love with a dead girl and begs permission to take ownership of her lifeless body; a man leaves his children in a forest starving after his wife tells him to do so. Can you imagine how a kid would feel when he or she is reading such stories?

　　Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia argued this summer that California shouldn't be permitted to ban the sale of violent video games to kids. He thought the games were not more violent than fairy tales. But his words could just as easily be an argument against the old folk tales—not against selling them, but certainly against treating them as bedtime stories for little ones. “Hansel and Gretel(children！) kill their captor (捕获者) by baking her in an ovent bedtime and that they scared me to death.” A commenter at the New York Times writes, “They were scary when I was a kid, and now they seem creepy and inappropriate for an adult.”

　　In my opinion, parents should really stop reading the Grimm fairy tales to their little kids.

　　13．When the author was 9 or 10 years old, she ________．es given in Paragraph 2 mainly show about Grimm fairy tales?

　　A．They're thrilling to read.

　　B．They were written for adults.

　　C．They're unsuitable for little kids.
