完形填空（满分30分）

As we know, it is important to be honest with children. But there are some things in this world that simply aren't   41    Sometimes it makes sense for parents to   42  to their children.

I still remember my three -year- old daughter's face when we watched the   43  that twenty children at Sandy Hook Elementary- School had been killed. After a few minutes she 44  and put her   45   arms around my legs and said, "I love you, Momma." I was still   46  whether or not to mm the TV off when she,   47   , asked, "Momma, why aren't those kids OK?" I just   48  that they were smart children,   49   they did something wrong and got punished

We're not all   50  of a little lie here and there. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Snow White are just a few examples of  51  for parents to keep magic in the world. Magic, imagination and creativity are very' essential in life,   52  for children. These stories battle against the negative aspects of the world and create   53  . In the end children will be able to   54  what is true and what was made to  55  their lives. Out of five brothers and a sister I can happily report that not one of the children I grew up with was   56  when we discovered who all those   57  people really were.

In life, a parent is the   58  of knowledge, and it is up to the parent to decide what knowledge to teach and when. There's no   59  to tell children all about the truth. As they become 60  , they will have a better understanding of the world.
