Describe Mother Bird’s feelings in the poem.
从早到晚，鸟儿妈妈随时待命，
直到她的孩子长大，可以离开温暖的家。
鸟儿妈妈，用她全部的关爱，
渴望给孩子们最好的关怀。
鸟儿妈妈常担心，日复一日——
她的孩子很快就要长大了。
它会兴奋地跳开，
展开翅膀，独自飞翔。
然而，她知道，她必须让孩子飞翔，
越过山丘，掠过天空，
在她仔细的注视下。
She has mixed feelings about her baby:
◆ On the one hand, she is very protective of her baby.She is worried about its flying away by itself.
◆ On the other hand, she understands that when her baby has grown up she will have to give it more freedom. However, she will always be there for her baby.
How would you describe Mother Bird’s feelings in the poem
Song of the parting son
From the threads a mother’s hands weaves,
A gown for parting son is made.
Sown stitch by stitch before he leaves,
For fear his return be delayed.
Such kindness as young grass receives
From the warm sun can’t be repaid.
（许渊冲译）
《游子吟》
唐·孟郊
慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。

答案 B
Questions
“Why can’t they just let me go ” you may wonder. On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.

Para. 3
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents’ love and support. You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.
