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.
The author took great pains to refine her daughter’ s stories because______.
选项
A、she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writer
B、she was afraid Rebecca’ s imagination might run wild while writing
C、she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much
D、she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance
答案
D
解析
文章第四段开头说:I had justspent weeks correcting her stories as shespontaneously(自发地)told them,我用了几个星期帮她修改文章。之后则叙述了作者如何帮助女儿修改文章。第四段第二句说作者自认为是一个有经验的作家,之后写到女儿的作品被作者按自己的经验、想法改造成了另外一个故事,进而把比赛当成了自己的比赛。由此可见,作者当初之所以要主动指导女儿,是自信自己的知识和经验可以对女儿提供帮助,只是结果不尽如人意。D的叙述是正确的。选项A、B、C均不符题意。
