A
I had never had a baby in my arms before. Now I found myself delivering three tiny orphans to their adoptive parents on Christmas Eve.
I taught English in Korea. Fed up, I desired to go home. A friend informed me of the “baby flight,” a program by which one can travel from Korea to the U.S., dirt cheap. But there was a hitch. The traveler must transport three orphans. The alternative was to pay full fare.
I boarded the plane with three babies, aged 3, 7 and 18 months. They came with running noses and wet diapers (尿不湿). As the plane took off, the poor kids howled. The plane shook violently and all the babies quieted. Seconds later, the plane stopped shaking and the babies howled together. The passengers burst into laughter.
Two American soldiers asked if they could each hold a baby. The one on my lap was wet and little milk was left. I rapidly learned how to clean a wet bottom and put on a new diaper and stick a pacifierin(塑料奶嘴) into an open mouth. I sat there holding the baby with the very large head. She blinked and smiled. It is funny how things like that can change you. From that point on, she radiated beauty and never left my arm.
By now I had developed a strong bond with my large head baby. I even named her Tina. The more I thought about giving her to someone else, the more I worried about her future parents. After two more stops and a total of 27 hours, the plane landed.
New parents sped off with two babies while I still held Tina, worried that no one wanted her. Then a couple showed up for Tina. As I passed Tina to them, she said “Oma (mom)” to me. At that point, I sat and cried, watching them walk off. How perfect!
But the next year I paid the full fare. The baby flight was too expensive.
21. According to the passage, during the flight _______.
A. other passengers couldn’t bear the three babies’ cry and disliked them
B. I looked after the babies carefully considering the free flight
C. I developed a deep relationship with the babies and worried about their future parents
D. I could feed the babies and change diapers like a mom
