Once upon a time, there was a village. People there did not like to share. One day, a traveler came to the village. He was very tired and hungry. He stopped at a house and knocked at the door.

A woman opened the door. “I’m a tired and hungry traveler,” he said. “May I have something to eat?” The woman shook her head. “We don’t have enough food to give away.” Then she closed the door.

The traveler picked up a stone from the ground and knocked at the door again.

“Perhaps you would like to have some of my stone soup!” said the traveler.

“Stone soup?” the woman was surprised.

“Yes. Just lend me a pot of hot water, please,”the traveler smiled. Though she didn’t want to, the woman still gave him a pot of hot water. The traveler placed the stone in it. “It’s good,” he said. “But if you had just a little salt and butter, the soup would taste better!”

A little angry but curious, the woman got him some salt and butter. At that time, some neighbors started to gather（聚集）around the traveler.

“It’s almost done,” the traveler said. “But it would be even nicer if there were some carrots and potatoes.”

“I have potatoes,” volunteered an elderly lady.

“I think I have carrots,” cried a young man.

Minutes later, the vegetables were added in. Soon, the air was filled with the smell of the soup. “Is it ready now?” the first woman asked. “Yes, but I remember that adding in some broth（肉汤）to the stone soup will make it taste better,” he replied. “I have broth,” yelled（大喊）a neighbor who was watching from a window.

Having all things in the pot, the traveler tasted a spoon of the soup. “Perfect!” he cried. Then, he served a bowl of stone soup to everyone. “It’s delicious!” the villagers all cried out happily.

If you have been a book lover since your childhood, you may have heard of the Newbery Medal. It goes to the best children’s books each year. But you may not know the person behind the prize. His name is John Newbery.

John Newbery was born in England in 1713. Back then, there weren’t many books for children. People didn’t think stories were important. However, Newbery believed kids should have books of their own. He thought young people should learn about the world from books and enjoy reading too.

As a child, Newbery was a huge book lover. Since he didn’t want to be a farmer, he became a publisher（出版人）when he grew up. He began this work in the town of Reading in England. Then he moved to London in 1743. Newbery published his first children’s book A Little Pretty Pocket-Book in 1744 and it became a huge success.

Soon, Newbery began publishing more children’s books. Some were about science and others were nursery rhymes（童谣）. In 1765, Newbery published The history of Little Goody Two-Shoes, a novel for kids. It made the saying “goody two-shoes” popular, which is used to describe a person who is overly well-behaved in a way that is forced and artificial（假装的）.

As a publisher, Newbery helped publish about 500 books for readers of all ages. That included more than 100 books for kids. This is why people call him “The Father of Children’s Literature”. And for more than 100 years, children’s book writers have been honored with the Newbery Medal for their great work.

Kids now can learn a valuable lesson from Newbery’s life. “He followed his passion（热情）,” said Michelle Markel, a children’s book writer. “He just loved books, and he thought everybody should have the chance to read them.”

23．What do we know about John Newbery?

A．He loved reading. B．He used to be a farmer.

C．He was born in Scotland. D．He was a father of many children.

24．What is the right order of the following events?

a. Newbery moved to London.             

b. Newbery became a publisher.

c. A Little Pretty Pocket-Book became a huge success.         

d. The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes was published.

A．b→d→a→c B．b→a→c→d C．c→d→b→a D．c→d→a→b

25．Why is Newbery called “The Father of Children’s Literature”?

A．Because he created the Newbery Medal.

B．Because he helped publish lots of children’s books.

C．Because he wrote the most children’s stories in the world.

D．Because he was the teacher of many children’s book writers.

26．What’s the best title for the passage?
