When my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock. ”He’d smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words.

When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something. ”

As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked with great intensity at the ants.

For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. . David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look.

Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt compelled when he was a boy to encourage his enthusiasm for observation.

That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.

1.The author wrote the passage to　　 .

2. The author showed David the ants to　　 .

A. prevent him from becoming bored

A. Make children have their own hobbies.

B. Teach children to be independent as soon as possible.

When I was young I wanted to be a model，so when a national contest was staged，I convinced my parents to take me for an audition (试演)．I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有声望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13，my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich，but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.

I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months，any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!

Of course，I wasn't signed，but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5′9″(about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $500 for classes. $500 for a photo shoot，and $300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.

The agency sent me out on a few auditions，but with every day I didn't receive a call，I grew more depressed. The_ final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting，only to be told that I was too short. I was devastated (极度不安的)．

Years later，I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling，just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.

1.What's the author's parents' attitude toward her dream?

A．Her parents were strongly against it.

B．She realized that it was impossible for her.

C．Even a local modeling agency turned her down.

D．She realized that she didn't actually love the idea of modeling.

3.The underlined phrase “The final straw” probably means ________.

A．the last in a series of bad things that happen to make someone very upset，angry，etc...

B．the final result that she was admitted by the model company.

C．the final audition given by the agency.

D．the decision that she made at last not to be a model any more.

4.What did the author learn from her experience of struggling to be a model?

A．Where there's a will there's way.

B．Being a model is not that easy.

C．We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others.
