Systems
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. [br] What does the author say about her own writing experience?
选项
A、She does not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.
B、Her way to success is full of pains and frustrations.
C、She is constantly under pressure of writing more,
D、Most of her stories are rejected by publishers.
答案
B
解析
由题干中的about her own writing experience定位到第二段。推理判断题。由定位段可知,作为一个作家。作者很了解赢得和输掉比赛的感受,也知道文章遭到出版商退稿时的那种感觉和维持声誉的那种压力。最后提到,很多我们自己过去的伤疤和破碎的希望又再次浮现,可以推断出作者的成功之路充满痛苦与挫折,因此B)为正确答案。
