Almost two-thirds of children want their parents to spend more time reading to them before bed, and most prefer Mum’s storytelling to Dad’s, researchers said.
They conducted a study that showed younger children aged 3-4 were most hungry for more stories, with over three-quarters saying they wished their parents read to them more often.
More than half of all children aged 3-8 said story time was their favourite pastime with their parents.
"The results of our research confirm the traditional activity of storytelling continues to be a powerful learning and emotional resource in children's lives," said child psychologist Richard Woolfson.
Storytelling ranked higher than television or video games among pastimes for kids, and 82 percent said reading a story with their parents helped them sleep better, according the survey of 500 children aged 3-8 in Britain.
The best storytellers were mothers who used funny voices to illustrate different characters or made their own special sound effects to keep the story moving, researchers said.
When mum and dad are not at hand, celebrities will do: over 30 percent of children said they would like to hear a bedtime story from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, with teen idols Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson trailing close behind.
"It can be very difficult for parents to find the time to read with their children, but these moments can help build strong bonds and play a vital part in their child's development," said Woolfson.

A．old time B．entertainment C．emotion D．character

TEXAS-That’s on small word for astronaut Neil Armstrong, one giant revision for grammar sticklers everywhere.
An Australian computer programmer says he fond the missing “a” from Armstrong’s famous first words from the Moon in 1969, when the world heard the phrase, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Some historians and cities have dogged（纠缠）Armstrong for not saying the more dramatic
and grammatically correct. "One small step for a man ..." in the version he transmitted to Nasa's Mission Control. Without the missing "a", Armstrong essentially said, "One small step for mankind, one giant leap for mankind."
The astronaut has maintained he intended to say it properly and believes he did. Thanks to some high-tech sound-editing software, computer programmer Peter Shann Ford might have proved Armstrong right, the Houston Chronicle newspaper in Texas reported at the weekend. Mr Ford said he downloaded the audio recording of Armstrong's words from a NASA website and analyzed the statement with software that allows disabled people to communicate through computers using their nerve impulses.
In a graphical(图形的) representation of the famous phrase, he said he found evidence that the missing "a" was spoken and transmitted to NASA.
"I have reviewed the data and Peter Fords analysis of it, and I find the technology interesting and useful." Armstrong said. "I also find his conclusion persuasive. Persuasive is the appropriate word."
64．The underlined word "sticklers " in Paragraph 1 probably means people who
A．enjoy making comments B．are sensitive to mistakes
C．are fond of studying grammars D．start to learn a new language
65．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Neil Armstrong missed an important word in his famous first words from the moon．
B．Peter Shann Ford might have proved Armstrong right by using a computer program．
C． Neil Armstrong him self was not sure whether he said "a" in that famous sentence．
D．Some historians and critics supported Armstrong's not making a mistake．
66．．Where can we most probably read this text?
A．In a newspaper． B．In a short story．
C．In a research paper． D．In a grammar book．
67．The main purpose of the text is to .
A．tell us a story about the famous astronaut
B．show the importance of correct grammar
C．present
