25、Once upon a time there were three little pigs. One day their mother said to them, “You are too big to live here. You need to build your own houses. But make sure that the wolf can’t catch you.”
The first little pig built his house with grass. It was the easiest thing to do. The second little pig built his house with sticks, which was a little bit stronger than the grass house. The third little pig built his house with bricks(砖), which was the strongest but took him a lot of time.
One day the wolf came and saw the first little pig in his grass house. The wolf pushed down the house and ate the first little pig. Then the wolf came to the stick house and pushed down that house, too. Then he ate the second little pig. The wolf then came to the house of bricks, but he could not push down that brick house. The wolf climbed up to the roof and tried to get in through the chimney(烟囱). The smart little pig fired and boiled water on it. When the wolf fell down, he fell into the hot water and died.

26、If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark colored cars, and soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact,it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.
Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists,most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink.Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves(影响)the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.
Some parents are worried too-for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirty—two, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. “Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that,” she says.
But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink.Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn’t worried at all. “People forget that things change all the time,” he says. “My girls used to love pink when they were little,but as they get older,” he adds. “It’s only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink-before that it was a color for boys.”
