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.
选项
A、Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.
B、Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.
C、Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.
D、A lot of distractions compete for children’s time nowadays.
答案
D
解析
本题问“从文章的第一段可以得出怎样的信息?”文章第一段告诉我们,在孩子们忙于网络聊天、视频游戏和虚拟电视的时候,作者的女儿想要做的却是参加写作竞赛。由此可以判断[D]“如今有许多娱乐活动在竞相占用着孩子们的时间”正确。[A]“孩子们在很多不需要动脑筋的活动中确实找到了许多乐趣。”文章一开始提到那些不需要动脑筋的活动让孩子们忙个不停,但没有暗示孩子们在其中是否找到了乐趣。[B]“丽贝卡大忙了,无法享受她的闲暇时间。”文章中没有提到相关的内容。[C]“为了写作,丽贝卡汇集了许多网上资料。”文章中也没有提到丽贝卡上网的内容。
