问题     We were in the middle of an argument．My mother wanted me to wear a certain saree(莎丽)for my cousin’s wedding．I neither wanted to wear the chosen saree nor was I interested in the wedding．She walked away in anger murmuring something about the present generations’stubborn ways．We finally worked out a compromise．I wore what I wanted to but I did end up going to the wedding．
    I can’t help looking back on that incident with a trace of amusement．In a way,  it stood for that swange relationship between a grown daughter and her middle-aged mother．After years of growing up on her values and following in her footsteps, I was finally struggling to insist on my independence．And she would cut me down in that overprotective motherly way of hers．She firmly believed that my life was hers to plan and rule until I was safely married off．Then it was up to my husband．
    Sometimes her softer side would melt my heart．When I stayed up late into the night for exams, she could never really get to sleep．She would constantly keep checking on me，making tea or anything I needed．
    When I was leaving the country, it was painful to say goodbye．She was there at the airport with the rest of the family．Somehow she looked old and vulnerable．There were tears in her eyes that I hadn’t seen for a long time．
    Now it is I who give her the strength whenever she needs it．The role reversal seems incredible but she seems to have accepted it．She sees me as an individual in my own right and respects my decisions．And yet，in some strange way, whenever I run into unsolvable problems, it is my mother that I think of．I may not ask for her advice anymore but the Very thought makes me feel instantly better．It’s a nice feeling to know that no matter how much I grow up，I’ll always be her little girl．
After leaving home the writer began to feel______．
选项 A、she still needed her mother’ s support
B、it was her turn to take care of her mother
C、her mother was sick and should see a doctor
D、it was somewhat cruel to leave her mother alone at home
答案B
解析 细节题。文章第四段描述作者离家时母亲的感受，文章最后一段的第 一句提到Now it is I who give her the strength whenever she needs it．从现在 起，作者应在需要的时候给母亲力量了，将第四段和最后一段联系起来可知，现在指我离家独立生活，因此[B] 选项正确。
