 After 1785, the production of children's books in the Untied States increased but remained largely 
reprints of British books, often those published by John Newbery, the first publisher to produce books 
aimed primarily at diverting a child audience. Ultimately, however, it was not the cheerful, commercial-
minded Newbery, but Anglo-Irish author Maria Edgeworth who had the strongest influence on this period 
of American children's literature. The eighteenth century had seen a gradual shift away from the spiritual 
intensity of earlier American religious writings for children, toward a more generalized moralism. 
Newbery notwithstanding, Americans still looked on children's books as vehicles for instruction, not 
amusement, though they would accept a moderate amount of fictional entertainment for the sake of more 
successful instruction. As the children's book market expanded, then, what both public and publishers 
wanted was the kind of fiction Maria Edgeworth wrote: stories interesting enough to attract children and 
morally instructive enough to allay adult distrust of fiction. 
 American reaction against imported books for children set in after the War of 1812 with the British. 
A wave of nationalism permeated everything, and the self-conscious new nation found foreign writings 
(particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable for the children of a democratic republic, a slate 
of self-governing, equal citizens. Publishers of children's books began to encourage American writers to 
write for American children. When they responded, the pattern established by Maria Edgeworth was at 
hand, attractive to most of them for both its rationalism and its high moral tone. Early in the 1820's, 
stories of willful children learning to obey, of careless children learning to take care, of selfish children learning to "tire for others," started to flow from American presses, successfully achieving Edgeworth's 
tone, though rarely her lively style. Imitative as they were, these early American stories wee quite 
distinguishable from their British counterparts. Few servants appeared in them, and if class distinctions 
had by no means disappeared, there was much democratic insistence on the worthiness of every level of 
birth and work. The characters of children in this fiction were serious, conscientious, self-reflective, and 
independent-testimony to the continuing influence of the earlier American moralistic tradition in 
children's books. 
 Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss? 
 A. Basic differences between British and American literature for children 
 B. Successful publishers of children's books in Britain and North America 
 C. The development of children's literature in the United States 
 D. The career of Maria Edgeworth as an author of children's books 
 Question 37. The publisher John Newbery is principally known for which of the following reasons? 
 A. He had more influence on children American children's literature than any other publisher 
 B. He published books aimed at amusing children rather than instructing them. 
 C. He was commercially minded and cheerful. 
 D. He produced and sold books written by Maria Edgeworth. 
 Question 38. The word "notwithstanding" in line 7 is closest in meaning to ________ 
 A. as a part of B. as a result of C. in addition to D. in spite of 
Question 39. The word "they" in line 8 refers to________ 
 A. Americans B. books C. children D. vehicles 
Question 40. The word "allay" in line 12 is closest in meaning to ________ 
 A. reduce B. confirm C. clarify D. attack

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. 
 The native religion of Japan is Shinto, an indigenous folk religion that finds spirits abounding in 
nature. There is no formal creed, or indeed much of any philosophy behind it. It basically allows 
followers a way of currying favour with various gods so as to receive good luck. Even today, many older 
Japanese will, when walking past a shrine, turn and bow to the spirits within. 
 Mahayana Buddhism arrived in Japan in the 6th century. Over the centuries, it grew in prestige and 
was divided into sects. Today, the most well-known forms of Japanese Buddhism are Soka Gakkai - the 
quasi-political religious group that has significant political clout - and Zen Buddhism. 
 Shinto and Buddhism have a long and intertwined history in Japan, and it is only in the past 
hundred years or so that they have been separated. Even today things can be confusing, as the design of 
Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples can look very much alike. The key tip: If there's a torii (a large, two-
legged arch) standing at the entrance of the grounds, it's a Shinto shrine; if not, it's a Buddhist temple. 
 A visit to a shrine first involves the visitor washing his hands and mouth at a pool in front of the 
shrine. Then he will make an offering of money, ring the gong, bow twice, clap twice and bow twice 
more. To an outsider's eyes, there are a few differences with regards to religion as it is practised in Japan. 
The most obvious is that in Japan it is perfectly permissible - indeed, almost expected - that people can be 
both Buddhist and Shintoist at the same time. Many Japanese, for example, will get married in a Shinto 
ceremony, but will have Buddhist rites at their funerals. 
 In fact, many Japanese seem to avoid people who appear overtly religious. Occasionally you will 
meet a proselytiser of some religion on the street, but in general, people seem to think that that kind of 
behaviour is reserved for cult members. People have strong memories of the cult that killed and injured so 
many people on the Tokyo underground system with toxic sarin gas in 1995, and find anyone who is not 
moderate in his religion a little unsettling. 
 Performing dispassionate, ritualistic acts is line, I suppose, but many Japanese cannot begin to 
fathom those who take strong moral stands. So much of Japanese society is geared towards enjoying 
oneself that there seems to be no appetite left for considering intangible issues. As one Japanese told me 
when I expressed an appreciation in the aesthetics of Zen, "I can't do it. It's just too hard." This attitude 
may go a long way in explaining why non-Japanese friends of mine who were so interested in Buddhism 
wound up criticising Japan as a religiously dead society.
