阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

In this age of Internet chat, video games and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless(无需

动脑的) 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 which 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 letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure 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 destroyed hopes can resurface in our
children.

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 using my

daughter s experience for reference.

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.
