A bar manager was so sure that he himself was the strongest man. Thus he made a bet and declared he would offer $1000 if 1 could beat him.
The 2 was that the landlord would squeeze（压榨）a lemon until all the 3 ran out into a beer glass, then hand the lemon to the customer. Anyone who could squeeze even one more __ 4 out of the lemon would win the money.
Over the years many people had tried this, truck drivers, weightlifters, karate masters, and __ 5 had failed. Then one day a geeky little fellow with heavy black rimmed glasses 6 the bar and asked if he could try the challenge.
After the laughter had quieted down the landlord said that it was only fair that the man should be given a 7 at the bet, so he picked up a lemon and started squeezing. Once he had done, he handed the 8 to the little man. Immediately, the little man promptly squeezed out 4 more drops of juice onto the bar!
Everyone looked at the little man in 9 as the landlord handed over the prize and asked
"What do you do for a living that has given you such 10 ? Are you a lumberjack, weightlifter?"
"No." the man replied, "I work for the IRS.( 美国国税局)"

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 11 how difficult it is to write a 12 children’s book. Either the author has aimed too 13 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 14 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are 15 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 16 who hears the story and the adult who 17 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, 18 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 19 to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as 20 of children’s literature(文学) were in fact written for 21 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 22 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a 23 and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(连环画), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop 24 to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 25 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise（妥协） over the bedtime story.
