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. [br] What do we learn from the first paragraph?
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
本题问从第一段可以知道什么。文章第一段第一句话指出,在这个充斥着网聊、电子游戏和真人秀电视节目的时代,并不缺乏让小孩子沉迷的无聊活动。而第二句话接着说,尽管这些活动在互相竞争……由此可知,现在有很多娱乐活动在争抢孩子们的时间,故选项D正确。D项中的compete对应原文中的competition。A项属于推断过度,文章提到有很多无聊的活动,但没有说孩子们确实从中获得了乐趣。文中提到丽贝卡用闲暇时问写故事,这与B项“她太忙了,没有什么闲暇时间”不符,故排除B。C项文中并未提及。
