3.Hey,mom,I want you to stop dropping me off at the airport for some trip that I am about to take and start becoming my seatmate.I want to travel with you----just you.
I want to explore a new place with a woman who raised me,who put up with my teenager anxiety and my rebellious (叛逆的) college years.I want to see my favorite cities with the lady who taught me basic life lessons,such as looking both ways before crossing the street,how to use a glue gun,and that the most important thing in the world is to help others.
I always appreciated the vacations you planned for our family.I also remember how you watched me as I read The Great Gatsby on the balcony at midday.I wonder if you felt proud of me.These days,I am sick of traveling to places with wishy-washy(无主见的) friends.I want to travel with a strong woman who can see how capable I am of learning to speak French or hiking on a glacier or eating something as unpleasant-smelling fruit.
Now I want you to see how much I grow up while abroad---I'm a different person,Mom.And I know you'd be different too.I know that someone has shared a similar burst of emotion while diving into Australia's Great Barrier Reef for the first time.
So what do you say,Mom?Will youthrow responsibility to the wind?I want to travel with you.Let's just go---we can go anywhere in the world,just you and I.You can pick the place,and I will do the rest.
Love,
Katka

13.Nobody likes having to deal with an upset child.If your little one is hurt,scared or sad,your heart breaks for her.If she's mad,it can make you mad.You want to be there for her and comfort her,but the best way to do that will depend mainly on two things:why she's upset and how old she is.Be calm and open-minded when trying to comfort your upset child.
Try to find out why your child is upset,because that affects how you should respond and what will be most effective in trying to comfort her.Take her aside and sit down to talk on her level,physically and emotionally.Be sure she knows she has your complete attention while she's telling you about the friend who wouldn't share her new toy and so on.Even if you've got 20other things you need to get done,make yourself take a break and focus on her for a few minutes.
Listen carefully to what your child says,and also pay attention to what she's not saying.If she says she's upset because"she hates her stupid school",you must"choose to accept it"-to read between the lines.Maybe she's struggling with her studies,or the teacher scolded(责备) her in front of everybody.Patiently listen and try to draw her out so you know what kind of problem you're dealing with.
Sometimes just knowing someone hears her pain goes a long way toward comforting an upset child.Don't make excuses or blame others,just let her know her feelings are natural and understandable.Give her permission to feel sad for a little bit or even cry a little,and give her a big hug.Then help her think of ways to get over the hurt and refocus her attention on another activity or friend.

25.What is the purpose of the author in the passage?C
A.To show an upset child is very tough.
B.To share his experience of keeping a child.
C.To tell how to comfort an upset child.
D.To get advice on how to raise a child.
26.When faced with an upset child,the parentsA.
A.may feel at a loss(不知所措)what to do next
B.should turn to experts for advice
C.should keep him company all the time
D.will easily get angry and frustrated
