Child labor has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when 31 （describe）the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. 32 conditions Dickens described continue, almost unchanged today, in many parts of the world.

The children not only receive nothing or very 35 for their long hours of work, but also they 36 (prevent) from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are 37 (able) to do any other kind of work.
The solution 38 the problem of child labour is clearly better laws to protect young children greater supervision (监督) of industry and heavier fines for 39 who break the laws. Only 40 this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives --- childhood.
