The car stopped.
Minka's heart was beating fast, but her legs carried her forward.
Faces flashed through the car windows. She looked at the front passenger seat, but Betty Jane was not there. Through the back window, she saw white hair. Minka stepped forward, opened the door and was met with flowers.
From behind them, she saw her daughter's face, the one she'd seen only in photographs, and heard the voice she'd heard only over the phone.
Everything disappeared behind one longing(渴望)一to get her daughter into her arms. And then, she was.
Minka's sight can't see it clearly. Her voice stuck in her throat(喉咙).Her arms wrapped tightly around her girl. She'd waited more than 28,000days for this, her daughter safe in her embrace(拥抱).The joy of it was boundless.
Finally Minka let go a little, pulling back to see that dear face again一a face as lined as her own. But Minka believed she knew those pale blue eyes. She lookedinto them, and then her daughter kissed her cheek. Minka managed to speak, her words ‘I love you' that had never been spoken.
"You are as wonderful as I thought you would be." Minka said.
They didn't look like strangers meeting for the first time. There was something weaving(编织)them together, right before their eyes.

To see the world is one thing, to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed, travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend,a family member, a pal(伙伴)you've met online, or a business friend.
You can have someone to talk to
Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn't you feel lonely? Having a travel partner canhelp you get rid of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion(同伴)who is very familiar with the place you're traveling to. You don't have to ask any information from the locals,and you can increase the time you spend in the country.
You can have someone to share the costs with One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can't simply think about the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also thnk about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can't simply go back without bringing any souvenirs to your friends and family. You must think about all these. However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the costs with.
You can have someone to watch out for you When you're in a foreign land, you'll never be really safe. You don't know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case(万一)you get lost. So why don't you find a travel companion now?
Let's find out how to find a travel partner…
1.How many advantages are mentioned in the passage if we have a travel partner?_______
