Her name was Blair, and she was obviously leaving. Her parents were not. The three gazed at the crowd and began their wait. Blair was twenty-three, fresh from graduate school with a handsome r??sum??(简历)but not ready for a career.

For the first time in her young and sheltered life, Blair would spend Christmas away from home. Luther, her father, was sad that Blair was leaving. The good-byes had all been said.“Are you sure this is what you want?”had been asked for the hundredth time. Then, the first announcement was made, the one asking those in first class to come forward. “I guess we’d better go,”Luther said to his daughter, his only child. They hugged again and fought back the tears. Blair smiled and said,“The year will fly by. I’ll be home next Christmas.” Nora, her mother, bit her lip, nodded and kissed her once more.“Please be careful,”she said because she couldn’t stop saying it. “I’ll be fine.” They released her and watched helplessly as she joined a long line and inched away, away from them, away from home and security and everything she’d ever known. They turned and got into endless sadness. 1.What’s the reason for Blair’s decision to help others? A.Her college’s requirement. B.Her friend’s behavior. C.Her successful career.
