Having sized up the material the Lord had given her to mold, she [my mother] didn't overestimate what she could do with it.
A、...finding the material too thin, she decided to do what she could with it.
B、...knowing what I was, she didn't expect me to achieve great success.
C、...she was realistic about what I could become,for I lacked ambition.
D、...she knew she couldn t make anything valuable out of the material from God.
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：原句译文：估计了上帝交给她塑造材料的性能之后，能把这块料做成什么，她没有过高估计。作者用了一个暗喻说明他的母亲对他的期望不是很高，这块材料指的是作者本人，因此A、D项可以排除。C项意为她很清楚我会变得怎样，因为我缺少野心。ambition一词可以表达出母亲对作者的期望,但是从原句来看，母亲并没有过高的估计。答案为B。
