13．阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中, 选出最佳选项

14． My daughter Hanghui is six years old. I took her to attend the child modeling course two years ago.
Luckily, she has a gift for being a model. I let her take the class because when she was very young, she was pigeon－toed(内八字的)and I wanted to correct it.
In the past, Hanghui was afraid to go out because she would have to meet so many people. That meant she always stayed at home, so I thought it necessary to take her out more to see the outside world.
After taking the class for more than a year, I noticed her progress. She was not so shy and she dared to speak with strangers. Even on the T-stage (T台), she could behave herself. So attending modeling class was the correct decision for her.
I have read reports about child models working all day to make money, and they may have lost their innocence (纯真), However, I don't feel worried about this, because Hanghui knows the difference between performances and real life. On the stage, she is serious and cool, but after classes or a performance, she becomes a lively kid again.
If she has a chance to be a Taobao or T-stage show model, I won't refuse the invitation. I will support her to do these jobs in her free time if she wants. However, if it influences her schoolwork, I won't encourage it.
Throughout her life, I will respect her choices. Parents shouldn't impose (强加)their dreams on their children, because it's unfair to the children.
