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 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 contests,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 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 dashed hopes can surface.
A revelation(启示)came last week when l asked her,”Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied,“I just want to tell the story of an angel(天使)going to first grade.”
I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自发地)told them.Telling myself that l 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 l 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.
【小题1】What did the author say about her own writing experience?

A.Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.
B.She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.
C.Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.
D.She was constantly under pressure of writing more.
【小题2】Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?
A.She wanted to share her stories with readers.
B.She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.
C.She believed she possessed real talent for writing.
D.She had won a prize in the previous contest.
【小题3】The author took great pains to refine her daughter’s stories because       
A.she was afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writing
B.she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much
C.she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance
D.she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a writer
【小题4】What’s the author’s advice for parents?
A.Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.
B.Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.
C.A writing career,though attractive,is not for every child to pursue.
D.Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.

  “First we make our habits,then our habits make us.”——Charles C.Noble
  It’s such a simple concept,yet it's something we don’t always do. It’s not extremely difficult to do, and yet I think it’s something that would make a world of difference in anyone’s life. Break your goals into habits,and focus on putting those habits into autopilot. My belief is that having one goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals.
  I try to turn my goals into habits,and in doing so,I put my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit means really focusing on it,seriously,for at least a month,to the exclusion of all else. The more you can focus on it, the more it’ll be put on autopilot. Let’s look at my marathon goal as an example. I was just starting out in running,and l had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. But in order to achieve that goal,I broke it down into two habits:
  1.I had to make running a daily habit.
  2.I had to report to people in order to have accountability(责任)—I did this through family,friends and coworkers,through a blog,and through a column in my local newspaper every two weeks. With this accountability,there’s no way l would stop running.
  The accountability habit took a couple of months,mainly because I didn’t focus on it too much while l was building the running habit. But it stuck,and for that first year of running,I would report to people I knew and blog about my running every day and I would write a column every two weeks for my local paper.
  Once those two habits were firmly fixed,my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot. I still had to do the work,of course,but it didn’t require constant focus. And eventually,I ran the marathon. I was able to achieve this because,all year long,I had the daily running habit and daily accountability habit. I put my marathon goal into autopilot,and that made it much easier--instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year,I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it while focusing on new habits and goals.
55.According to the passage,we can see the key to forming a habit is ______________.
A.to break the goals into habits
B.to report to other people about your plan
C.to set a reasonable goal first
D.to focus on the habit as much as possible
56.The author told people about his running in order to ______________.
A.get more support
B.ask for their opinions
C.carry out his plan better
D.earn more admiration
57.What do we know about the author?
A.He was a local athlete.
B.He often gave people advice.
C.He had no blogs before.
D.He wrote for a local newspaper.
58.The passage is mainly about ______________.
A.goals and habits
B.how to turn your goals into habits
C.habits and achievements
D.how to make running a good habit
