根据短文理解，选择正确答案。

    A lot of teenagers are good at art at school, but how would you feel if people called you “the new Picasso(毕加索)” or if presidents and other famous people collected your paintings?

    Alexandra Nechita was ten when her paintings became famous all over the world. She visited Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and her family's native place (祖籍) Romania where 5,000 fans came to see her at the airport. Alexandra said, “When it all started, I was moved. It was very exciting and I loved the traveling, but I got very tired. And I missed home.”

    Alexandra is a good student. Her studies always come first. She only starts painting after she's done her homework. She works on two or three paintings at a time. The paintings sell for thousands and Alexandra's parents have given up their jobs to work for their daughter. Life for the Nechita family is very different from what it was like a few years ago. Alexandra's father Nike left Romania for political (政治的)reasons in 1985. At first he tried his best to learn English and had different kinds of low-paid jobs. In 1987, he brought his wife and Alexandra, who was then 18 months old, to America. The family was very poor. Alexandra began to draw at the age of three.

    She was drawing for four or five hours a day. Soon people offered(提出) to buy her paintings and she had her first art show at the age of eight. Stories about this child appeared(出现) in the newspapers and television. They now live in a large house with a swimming pool. Her mother said, “We started without anything, but thanks to Alexandra, we have everything we ever dreamed of.”

给我的孩子们^①

丰子恺

      ①我的孩子们！我憧憬于你们的生活，每天不止一次！我想委曲地说出来，使你们自己晓得。

      ②瞻瞻！你尤其可佩服。你是身心全部公开的真人。你甚么事体都像拼命地用全副精力去对付。小小的失意，象花生米翻落地了，自己嚼了舌头了，小猫不肯吃糕了，你都要哭得嘴唇翻白，昏去一两分钟。外婆普陀去烧香买回来给你的泥人，你何等鞠躬尽瘁^②地抱他，喂他；有一天你自己失手把他打破了，你的号哭的悲哀，比大人们的破产、失恋、brokenheart^③，丧考妣（bǐ）^④，全军覆没的悲哀都要真切。两把芭蕉扇做的脚踏车，麻雀牌堆成的火车、汽车，你何等认真地看待，挺直了嗓子叫“汪﹣﹣，”“咕咕咕……”，来代替汽油。我每次剃了头，你真心地疑我变了和尚，好几时不要我抱。最是今年夏天，你坐在我膝上发见了我腋下的长毛，当作黄鼠狼的时候，你何等伤心，你立刻从我身上爬下去，起初眼瞪瞪地对我端相，继而大失所望地号哭，看看，哭哭，如同对被判定了死罪的亲友一样。你要我抱你到车站里去，多多益善地要买香蕉，满满地擒了两手回来，回到门口时你已经熟睡在我的肩上，手里的香蕉不知落在哪里去了。这是何等可佩服的真率、自然与热情！大人间的所谓“沉默”、“含蓄”、“深刻”的美德，比起你来，全是不自然的、病的、伪的！

      ③阿宝！有一晚你拿软软的新鞋子，和自己脚上脱下来的鞋子，给凳子的脚穿了，刬（chǎn）^⑤袜立在地上，得意地叫“阿宝两只脚，凳子四只脚”的时候，你母亲喊着“龌（wò）龊（chuò）^⑥了袜子！”立刻擒你到藤榻上，动手毁坏你的创作。当你蹲在榻上注视你母亲动手毁坏的时候，你的小心里一定感到“母亲这种人，何等杀风景而野蛮”罢！

      ④软软！你常常要弄我的长锋羊毫，我看见了总是无情地夺脱你。现在你一定轻视我，想道：“你终于要我画你的画集的封面！”

      ⑤我在世间，永没有逢到象你们这样出肺肝相示的人。世间的人群结合，永没有象你们样的彻底地真实而纯洁。但是，你们的黄金时代有限，现实终于要暴露的。这是我经验过来的情形，也是大人们谁也经验过的情形。我眼看见儿时的伴侣中的英雄、好汉，一个个退缩、顺从、妥协、屈服起来，到像绵羊的地步。我自己也是如此。“后之视今，亦犹今之视昔”，你们不久也要走这条路呢！

      ⑥我的孩子们！憧憬于你们的生活的我，痴心要为你们永远挽留这黄金时代在这册子里。然这真不过象“蜘蛛网落花”，略微保留一点春的痕迹而已。且到你们懂得我这片心情的时候，你们早已不是这样的人，我的画在世间已无可印证了！这是何等可悲哀的事啊！
