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 doesnt win the contest again? Thats 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, “Dont 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 daughters 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.1. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A. Many children find lots of fun in mindless activities.B. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.C. Rebecca collects online materials for her writing.D. Rebecca is different from any other child of her age.2. What was the authors writing experience?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.3. Why did Rebecca want to enter this years writing contest?A. She possessed real talent for writing.B. She wanted to win.C. She wanted to share her stories with readers.D. She had won a prize already.4. The author took great pains to refine her daughters stories because _.A. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidanceB. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who wanted to win the contestC. she wanted to help Rebecca win in the contestD. she was afraid Rebeccas imagination might run wild while writing5. Whats the authors advice for parents?A. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.B. Children should be given freedom to grow through experience.C. Parents should keep an eye on their kids activities.D. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.参考答案1.

B解析：第一空是特指，所以用the, 第二空success是指成功的一优缺点事。所以此处success是可数名词，应用不定冠词a。4. D解析：在序数词前用定冠词the; a great
