Fantasy books are any novel that is based on unrealistic（不现实的） events. Fantasy is widespread in children's literature. Perhaps the most famous children's fantasy books of the late 20th and early 21st centuries are the “Harry Potter” novels.
Realistic children's literature can either be set in contemporary(当代的）times or in the past. As the name suggests, the characters are realistic and the plot line follows something that could actually happen. Realistic historical fiction（小说）uses real events from the past as a basis for the story.
Traditional literature is the name given to any stories which orally stemmed from and were later written down. These include some fairy tales, folk tales, myths, legends. Traditional literature stories can be found
in books, and some are the ones that a parent may tell a child from memory. Some of the best known traditional literature stories include “The Tortoise and the Hare,” “Cinderella,” and “Little Red Riding Hood.”

When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally, the beauty and the star of the family, and felt happy about her achievements.
But since the baby's arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely
uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister \had a baby before.\
Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister--and Sally doesn't like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition don't fade（消退） easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life.
In a study of the University of Cincinnati, 65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives.
Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive，but still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court（球场）, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister can't wait to tell me when I've put on weight. However, she's a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other.
Some brothers and sisters stay at arm's length, but never give up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist? 33. When Joan's son was born, Sally______ .

B. Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cook. C. Because she wants to make fun of the author's weight. D. Because she wants to be honest with the author.
