In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.
As a writer I know about winning contest, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.
A revelation(启示)came last week when I asked her, "Don’t you want to win again?" "No," she replied, "I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade."
I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自由地)told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly "guided" by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.
Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was coopting(借用)my daughter’s experience.
While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.
The author took great pains to refine her daughter’s stories because______.
选项
A、she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance
B、she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much
C、she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dream of becoming a writer
D、she was afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writing
答案
A
解析
第四段指出,作者觉得自己是作为一个经验丰富的作者在指导年轻作家,她觉得自己足以胜任指导女儿写作的工作。由此可知,选项A“她相信她的知识和经验足以提供指导”正确。选项B中说丽贝卡非常需要她的帮助,这与文章不符。选项C和D文中没有提及。
