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 free 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 (退稿条) 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 ruined 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.

67. What do we learn form the first paragraph?

A. Now too many entertainments take up too much time.

B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.

C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her free time.

D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.

68. What did the author say about her own writing experience?

A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more.

B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.

C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.

D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.

69. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?

A. She had won a prize in the previous contest.

B. She wanted to share her stories with readers.

C. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.

D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.

70. What’s the author’s advice for parents?

A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.

B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.

C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.

D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.

    以下是几位女性朋友的寻偶要求，请为每个女性匹配一位合适的伴侣：

56. Sun Mei, 23, is a clerk in a bank, who is an amateur in table tennis. She would like a male friend who is a soldier and not shorter than 170 centimeters. It will be appropriate if he is a sports fan just as she is.

57. Tang Xiaoli, 29, 160 centimeters tall, unmarried, has just come to Guangdong Province and took up a job as an accountant (会计). After graduating from high school, she decided to continue learning for a higher degree while working. She hopes to find a companion who has a house of his own and at least got a bachelor’s degree.

58. Liu Fenghua, 56, a retired teacher from high school. She devoted all herself to teaching while she was at school and earned a high respect from the students that she had taught before. She is now helping taking care of her grandson, whose parents want her to find a spouse after their father’s death of a heart attack 4 years ago.

    It takes a unique approach to teaching culture and English together. It is easy to read and combine humor and useful expressions in one book.

    It is by far one of the most complete language usage reference books on the market today. It addresses some of the most common mistakes in English and provides clear examples to demonstrate and explain these errors.

    This book can be used as a reference book to enhance one’s vocabulary for overall comprehension and/or different academic tests like the GMAT or TOEFL.

    It presents words by theme rather than throwing vocabulary at students in a very unorganized and random way. It does a good job of introducing and helping students practice vocabulary at a basic level.

    It is an amazing story about a student and his former teacher and the relationship they develop in the face of death. A perfect book for reading in classes.

    Often, students think that studying for the TOEFL is simply a matter of learning more grammar. However, this book helps students learn test-taking strategies that help a reader stay focused on the skills they really need.
