Ever since I was very small, I’ve had the sense that I ought to be somewhere else. I remember watching trains flash by and wishing l was on board. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was thirteen and reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, and London.
But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I wandered the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middlemarch and A Little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the tsar with Anna Karenina.
My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, truly lived, some where else. I lived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but also into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.
I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child- on airplanes and in trains. And the irony is that I don’t care for it very much. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends and books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.
It turns out that when my younger self though of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the real destinations, and the journey too. They are home.
What did the writer learn from books as a child?
选项
A、About many foreign places.
B、About many historical figures.
C、About the outside world as well as her own self.
D、About the ironies of life.
答案
C
解析
由第三段可知,借助书籍不仅可以加深对外部世界的了解,还可以增深对自己内心世界的了解。
