21、Folklore(民间传说) has long been passed down from one generation to the next. However, the National Trust has shown the development of technology is causing folklore to die out because it has nothing to do with modern life. It says that in a world filled with smartphones and the Internet, legends of magical blacksmiths(铁匠) are no longer of interest to children who have never put coal on the fire.
Jessica Monaghan, head of the National Trust’s Experiences and Programming, called on the public to share their knowledge of folklore from different areas of the UK to keep it alive. “The legends and traditions tell us so much about our ancestors(祖先) and their relationship with the world around them,” she said. “Through the legends, we can learn about what makes communities around the UK special and what has tied us together.”
“In the 16th century, the walnut was taken as a treatment for brain illnesses simply because they are similar in shape. Few people today would believe this because we have advanced medical knowledge and scientific methods,” said Dee Dee Chainey, author of A Treasury of British Folklore. But she thinks there are still chances for folklore as many people try to learn about old legends.
Folklore should be rewritten and retold in new ways with new characters and new lessons that are related to modern life. And that’s what folklore is about—taking the old wisdom and traditions and re-describing them for who we are and the lives we have now.
【1】What problem is described in Paragraph 1?
A.Children misunderstood folklore.
B.Children depend on smartphones much.
C.Folklore disappears slowly in modern life.
D.A sense of belonging disappears among kids.
【2】What does Jessica Monaghan want to express in Paragraph 2?
A.The attraction of legends.
B.The power of knowledge.
C.The importance of folklore.
D.The greatness of our ancestors.
【3】What does Dee Dee Chainey think of folklore?
A.It is a danger to science.
B.It will probably come back.
C.It is useless to people today.
D.It will be left behind by people.
【4】What is the writer’s suggestion according to the last paragraph?
A.Keeping folklore by making some changes.
B.Collecting more interesting folklore.
C.Holding on to old traditions and following them.
D.Encouraging children to learn more about folklore.
【5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Folklore isn’t so important as it used to be.
B.It’s time to create new folklore for people in modern life.
C.It’s never too late to care about old wisdom and traditions.
D.Folklore is dying out because of the rise of modern technology.
