My five-year-old daughter knew exactly what she wanted for Christmas of 1977, and told me so. Yes, she still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella, books, long nightgown, slippers-fine. But really, there was only one thing that mattered: a Barbie Townhouse, with all the accessories.
This was a surprise. Rebecca was not a Barbie girl, preferred stuffed animals to dolls, and wasn’t drawn to play in a structured environment. Always a make-up-the-rules , design -my-own-world, do-it-my-way kid. Maybe, I thought, the point wasn’ t Barbie but the house, which she could claim for herself, since we’ d already moved five times during her brief life.
Next day, I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was mere: "3 Floors of High-Styled Fun! Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!" Some Assembly Required. Uh-oh. My track record for assembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born, I was raised in apartment buildings in a family that didn’ t build things. A few years earlier, I’ d spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts. I spent the first four hours sorting and the last two hours trying to figure out why there were so many pieces. The day after I finished building it, as if to remind me of my limitations, a tornado(龙卷风) touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field.
I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making it level, keeping the columns from looking like they’ d melted and been refrozen, and getting that elevator to work were almost more than I could manage. And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continue sleeping—if, in fact, she was sleeping—added a layer of challenge. By dawn I was done.
Shortly thereafter, my daughter walked into the living room. Her surprise may not be real, but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me to this day, 34 years later. Rebecca had spurred me to do something I didn’ t think I could do. It was for her, and—like so much of the privilege of being her father—it brought me further outside myself and let me overcome doubts about my capacities.
In the author’ s eyes, his little daughter was_____.
选项
A、obedient
B、unstable
C、original
D、stubborn
答案
B
解析
本题问的是在作者眼中,自己的小女儿是什么性格。根据题干内容可以定位到第二段,该段中说她是个自己制定规则,自己设计自己的世界,随心所欲的孩子。据此可知,B项“反复无常的”为正确答案。
