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 contests, 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(自发地)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 co -opting(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.
Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’ s writing contest?
选项
A、She had won a prize in the previous contest.
B、She wanted to share her stories with readers.
C、She was sure of winning with her mother’ s help.
D、She believed she possessed real talent for writing.
答案
B
解析
文中有一句话——she replied,“I just want to tell the story of an angel going tofirst grade.”意思是她想告诉人们一个上小学一年级的天使的故事,也即想与人们(至少是读到它的人)分享这个故事,这与B的说法“她想和读者分享她的故事”是一致的。选项A“她在上一届比赛中获得了优胜。”言下之意是她是为了卫冕而参加比赛,但文中的对话“Don’t you want to win again?”“No,”显示,丽贝卡对能否夺冠并不在意。因此A的说法站不住脚。选项C中,从对A的分析可知,与文意也不符。而D项,文章没有任何一处地方提及类似内容,因此不能选D。
