【推荐1】For centuries, people have had a strong sense that it is absolutely beneficial to read fairy tales to children. However, the benefits might have been ____. Some researchers are reassessing this long-established belief and after years of surveys and observations, they are sending out the message: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may ____ damage her in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy (认知心理疗法) suggests a link between the ____ of women abused (虐待) by their partners and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who ____ Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in ____ relationships as adults.

The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed sixty-seven female abuse survivors and found that sixty-one ____severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience and love. The same view was ____ by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women and men in a control group, who had not ____ abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way. These women and men said they would ____ a relationship rather than suffer the abuse from a partner. Ms. Darker Smith found that these abused women were much more likely to sympathize with Cinderella and other female characters who tended to obey instead of ____.

Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who ____the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their partners’ ____,” she said. “____ in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious ____ in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms. Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door by herself? After all, being ____ is a desirable characteristic that children should learn to possess from the early age and prevail in the life time. ”
