题目内容
阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。
For the person keeping a journal (日记), whatever he experiences and wants to hold he can write down. But to get it down on paper begins another adventure. For he has to focus (注视,聚焦) on what he has experienced, and to be able to say what. What of it is new? What of it is remarkable (值得注意的) because of association (联想) in the memory it stirs up? Is it a good or bad thing to have happened? And why, specifically? The questions multiply (增多) themselves quickly. As one tries to find the words that best represent this discovery, the experience becomes even more clear in its shape and meaning.
Beyond (除了) the value of the journal as record, there is the value of the discipline (纪律、戒规) it teaches. The journalist begins to pay closer attention to what happens to and around himself. He develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the usefulness of language as a means of representing what he sees, and gains skill and certainty in the expression of his experiences. To have given up one's experience to words is to have begun marking out the limits and potential (潜能、潜力) of its meaning. In the journal that meaning is developed and clarified (澄清、阐明) to oneself. When the intention of the development of that meaning is the consideration of another reader, the method of journal redirects itself and it becomes the essay.
