Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage：

The most famous collections of fairy tales are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm

Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812.They

disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition （版本） was a scholarly

book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of

their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to

children. But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their

publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point

Wilhelm complained there wasn't a chair in his house one could sit on without

worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book

that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them

much longer , and polished up the language. He didn't add morals , but he did

slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could. The

Grimms' fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them

unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In “Hansel

and Gretel” eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm

Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For

example, in the first edition, the one intended for children, that her birds

peck （啄） out their eyes. Why, then, have the Grimms' fairy tales become

classic of children's literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a

child who doesn't know Cinderella's story or Snow White's？

One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The

first edition of the Grimms' fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to

50. And taday only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in

children's collections.（76）But the deeper answer is that the tales that have

lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and

fears of their everyday lives.

1. Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children？

A . To deal with readers' complaints.

B. To improve his financial situation.
