【考点定位】考查文章的标题DIn this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities tokeep a child occupied. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisuretime writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which shewon last year.As a writer, I know about winning contests – and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on astory only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to areputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the 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,” sh 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 Iwas 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 fearf ul angel starting first grade was quickly “guided”into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into mycontest 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 farmanimals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting my daughter’s experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow withmore steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I willbe reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.75. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A.
