阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选

出最佳选项。

Blind imitation (模仿)is self-

those who do not recognize their unique worth. I

mitation appears attractive: to those who know their strenghth. I

mitation is unacceptable.

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is

helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜

谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. W

hy follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create m

y own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a c

hild’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your o

wn balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识

地) hold poor role models. If, as a chil

d, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have a

ccepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow wh

at they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you

will get the results of the weak choices of others.

In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Tho

se stars look great on screen. Bu

t when they step off screen, their personal lives may

be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on thei

r talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.

Blessed is the person willing to act on their sundden desire to cr

eate somrthing unique.T

hink of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affecte

d you most touched you because their creations w

ere motivated by inspiration,not world is chang

ed not by those who do what has been done brfore them,but by

those who do what has been done inside ve people

have an endless resource of problem a creator fa

ces is not running out of material;it is what to do with the mater

ial knocking at the door of imagination.

Syudy your role models,accept the

gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not

en you can say,”I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors”trage
