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 did the author say about her own writing experience?
选项
A、She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.
B、Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.
C、She was constantly under pressure of writing more.
D、Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.
答案
B
解析
第二段提到,作者知道失败的感觉,知道小说被出版社拒绝的滋味,知道成功之后也得承受巨大的压力。并在段尾提到,过去的伤疤和破灭的梦想会一一浮现。由此可知,作者的写作经历充满了痛苦和坎坷,故选项B正确。其他三项中虽然也出现了文中的词,比如reputation、pressure和publisher,但是它们的叙述都不准确,与原文不符。
