【解析】文章講述的是作者鼓勵他的孩子出去和朋友一起玩，但是一定要準時回家，后來兒子沒有準時回來，作者給予了不準出門的懲罰。
1.上下文，根據(jù)后面的 after school可知，他們課后在一起玩耍
2.上下文，根據(jù)后面的encouraged him to play with his friends可知，作者父親兩人對此很滿意
3.上下文，該空應當和encourage意思相近，因此選擇allow，意為，我們允許并鼓勵他和朋友們一起玩耍
4.上下文，根據(jù)下文so we have asked him to tell us __40__ he's going and to come home at a specified time可知，作者想讓兒子有責任感，在出去的時候告訴我們他的去向，并在特定的時間回家
5.同上
6.句意理解，問題出現(xiàn)了，當kevin沒有按時回家
7.上下文，上文講到kevin沒有回來，因此作者要出去找她，look for尋找 pick up接，撿起，接受，偶然學到 wait for等 call up讓某人想起
8.上下文，根據(jù)后面的 he couldn't continue playing可知，他感到失望，不能繼續(xù)玩下去了。
9.句意，我跟他談談關(guān)于遵守承諾的重要性，
10.句意為，我告訴他我并不擔心他晚回來幾分鐘，但是半小時之后，我要開始擔心了
11.同上 concerned意為擔心的
12.句意理解，Qugen讓我去把kevin帶回來，因為他應當在六點就回來了
13.上下文，根據(jù)上文可知他同意了作者要在六點回來，可是這次又沒有按時回來，所以他感到愧疚
14.上下文，根據(jù)后文可知，此時他們已經(jīng)回到家里，Qugen和作者問kevin為什么沒有按時回來
15.他說他就是想繼續(xù)玩下去
16.上下文，根據(jù)后文作者懲罰他不準出門可知，kevin的這種想法是完全無法接受的，因此就罰他不能出門
17.句意理解，罰他一個星期不準出門，這意為這不能和朋友出去一起玩了
18.句意理解，朋友來找他出去玩，可是他不能出去，因此要向朋友們解釋，

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 pressures 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 (啟示) 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 (自發(fā)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 co-opting (借用) my daughter’s 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.
【小題1】What did the author say about her own writing experience?
| A．She was constantly under pressure of writing more. |
| B．Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers. |
| C．Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations. |
| D．She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer. |
| A．She wanted to share her stories with readers. |
| B．She had won a prize in the previous contest. |
| C．She was sure of winning with her mother’s help. |
| D．She believed she possessed real talent for writing. |
| A．she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dream of becoming a writer |
| B．she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance |
| C．she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much |
| D．she was afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writing |
| A．Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions. |
| B．Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience. |
| C．Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in. |
| D．A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue. |
