针对性训练(六)　主旨大意之概括段落大意 A (2023·柳州市模拟)When I was a kid，my mother used to tell me Chinese folk stories before bedtime．My mother is an immigrant．She told me those stories so that I wouldn't forget the culture that she had left．Even though I hadn't ever experienced that culture at first hand，she wanted me to remember it． Of all her stories，my favorites were about Sun Wukong，the monkey king who had many superpowers．Eventually，though，I moved on to other kinds of heroes．When I was in the fifth grade，I bought my first American comic book．Afterwards，Superman，Spider-man and Captain America replaced Sun Wukong in my heart． I became crazy about comic books．I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics．Today I am a professional graphic novelist．My most well-known book is American Born Chinese，published in 2006．Monkey King is one of my main characters，but the book isn't a direct adaptation of my mother's stories．Instead，I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American．The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions without reservation．I needed him to emote on my pages． For research，I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West，the centuries-old Chinese classic that first told the monkey king's story．As I read it，I realized that American superheroes hadn't replaced Sun Wukong in my heart after all —they were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king．The monkey king's story has lasted for centuries and traveled across continents and cultures．Journey to the West is the very definition of “timeless”． My mother now has Alzheimer's．She's forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me，but I remember．In many ways，I've built my whole career on those moments before bedtime．With every comic book I create，I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong． 1．What did the author's mother expect him to do?
