题目内容
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 trade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her fist 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

试题分析:.孩子们的成长是父母们关心的话题。家长们应该怎样帮助孩子,是放任自由,还是严格管教?本文作者给出了自己的看法。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知A项正确。B、D两项文中没有提及,只是说Rebecca将业余时间用来写短篇故事,并没有说占用她太多时间去享受休闲时光。作者只是指出供孩子选择的娱乐活动很多,但没有指明孩子们是否从中得到了乐趣。从mindless(没头脑的,不用脑子的)一词可以看出,作者对这些活动至少是持有怀疑态度的,排除C项。选A。
2.推理判断题。A、D项不正确,这只是作者曾经的担心。C项是作者的经历,不是作者提及经历的目的。作者想到自己写作经历的辛酸和痛苦,故而担心自己的女儿。选B。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句The story about a fearful angel starting first trade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her fist music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.可知作者参加比赛是想分享她的故事给读者,答案C。
