Say a Warm Farewell with a Willow BranchIn ancient China,willow branches(柳樹(shù)枝) were often used as a parting gift between friends and family members.Do you know why willow branches are a symbol of farewell(告別)?
One reason is that willow trees are strong.They can survive(生存) in any soil,wet or dry,north or south.Because of this unique feature,giving a willow branch is a way to say goodbye to loved ones.And it tells them you hope they will easily adapt to their new living environment.
Meanwhile,in Chinese,the pronunciation for the willow tree "liu(柳)" is similar to the character "liu(留)",which means asking someone to stay.So offering a willow branch is like asking the other party(對(duì)方) to stay,even though we know that they must leave.
It's said that this custom became popular during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 220).At that time,Baqiao,a bridge in Chang'an,today's Xi'an,was a common place to say goodbye.People often stopped there and handed willow branches to departing(離開(kāi)的) people.
Willow branches,as a symbol of farewell,are often mentioned in poems.Many poets often felt the sadness of separation when they saw somebody off.In The Book of Poetry,there is the famous line "When I left there,willows shed tears." At the time of the Tang and Song Dynasties,such poems were common as travelling was easy at that time.For example,Wang Wei wrote "The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green," in his famous poem A Fond Farewell to a Friend.

3.In the doorway,I looked closely at the face of my 23-year-old son,Daniel.We were saying goodbye.In a few hours he would be flying to France.It was a transitional(過(guò)渡的) time in Daniel's life,a passage from college into the adult world.I wanted to leave him some words that would have some meaning,some importance beyond the moment.But nothing came from my mouth.I stood quietly,looking into the searching eyes of my son,which I knew was not the first time I had let such a moment pass.
When Daniel was five,I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten(幼兒園),I felt the fear in hand holding mine as the bus turned the corner.He looked at me — as he did now. "What is it going to be like Dad?Can I do it?Will I be OK?" Then he walked up the bus steps and disappeared inside.The bus drove away,and I said nothing.
Ten years later,a similar scene played itself out.I drove him to college in Virginia.As I started to make the trip home,I tried to think of something to say to give him courage and confidence as he started this new period of life.I left,only mumbling(喃喃自語(yǔ)), "Hope everything goes better,Dan."
I once told Daniel about my great regret that I didn't take a year off to travel.Daniel thought about this.After graduation,he worked as a waiter,a bike messenger and a painter.Now he had enough money for Paris.The night before he left,I tossed and turned in bed.I was trying to find out something to say.Nothing came.
What does it matter over the course of lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?I knew that it did matter.Now,as I stood before Daniel,I finally gave him a hug.It was nothing.And yet,it was everything.I was sure he knew that.
(1)Where was Daniel going that day in the story?
A.He was going to beach.
B.He was going to France.
C.He was going to Virginia.
(2)Why did the father stand quietly without talking to his son?
A.Because his son wanted to talk to his mother.
B.Because his son left home hurriedly to travel with his friends.
C.Because he might be a person not good at expressing himself.
(3)Which is the correct order of the following events?
①Daniel's dad hugged him.
②Daniel's dad left,only mumbling something.
③Daniel made some money for his travel for Paris.
④Daniel walked up the bus steps and disappeared inside
A. ①③④②
B. ④②③①
C. ③④①②
(4)Which is the best title of this passage?
