5.finding

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了写一本好的儿童读物不容易。最好的儿童书籍既不会太难，也不会太简单。不幸的是，实际上很少有像这样的书。因此找到合适的睡前故事是不易的。

1.句意：他们一定意识到写一本好的儿童书是多么困难。根据Most parents, I suppose,可知我认为大多数父母……，因此此处他们认识到……，又位于情态动词must后，故用动词原形realize。 

2.句意：或者作者很难确定目标。根据children can’t follow what is in his story,孩子不明白故事里说的内容，可知此处是指作者的目标不明确，又位于has后，用过去分词aimed。

3.句意：最好的儿童书籍既不会太难，也不会太简单。neither……nor……既不……，也不……。

4.句意：不幸的是，实际上很少有像这样的书。根据there are in fact few books like this, 可知这样的好书很少，因此此处用副词unfortunately来修饰整个句子。

5.句意：找到合适的睡前故事的问题是不易解决的。此处位于介词of后用动名词finding。
