(2024·山东济南·八下期末)People may have some unclear memories of their childhood，but almost everyone will remember the beautiful princess and the cruel queen in Snow White，the innocent(无辜的) little girl and the greedy big gray wolf in Little Red Riding Hood. 1. ________ For example，“True love can overcome anything” and “Even a frog can turn into a prince”. However，at a certain age，we start to learn new things about life，particularly that love doesn't always win，and that a frog is just a frog.
2. ________ Just look at animated movies like The Lion King and Frozen，which have millions of fans young and old. And this year's Lucerne Festival in Switzerland—a classical music festival—will also feature the themes of “Childhood” and “Fairy tales”.
“Fairy tales endure because they are the stories of our lives in their most stripped - down form，” wrote US author Laura Packer. “They are stories of love and loss，desire and death，riches and ruin.” 3. ________ But if children only see just one side of reality，adults usually see the other. For example，in the movie Maleficent，we're told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the evil(邪恶的) queen. 4. ________ Instead，she suffers great losses growing up，leading to the creation of her “evil” side. And in US author James Finn Garner's book Politically Correct Bedtime Stories，he tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood，but with a modern touch.
5. ________ They may usually start with “Once upon a time”，but as we grow older，we learn that every story doesn't always need a “happily ever after” to be a good one.
A. Fairy tales are usually about reality(现实).
B. But somehow，our love for fairy tales never dies.
C. Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales.
D. The theme of a fairy tale is to teach people courage and kindness.
E. Fairy tales have been adapted(改编) into versions(版本) for children.
F. It looks like fairy tales aren't just stories our parents read to us at bedtime.
G. Unlike the children's version(视角) of the story，we see that the queen wasn't born this way.
