Choose the best answer(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案，用A,B,C或D表示）My four-year-old daughter's first trip abroad could open her eyes to different cultures, music, food and ways of living. Perhaps we’d head to England, or I could take her to Mexico, where I spent a lot of my time while growing up in San Diego. Or we could head to France or Belgium, where we have cousins. Even if my daughter understood the language, she might see for the first time that people live differently than we do. While I had been thinking about where to go, spring break in Costa Rica fell into my lap.My child had to get extra changes. Here’s what I learned ——through trial and error——about makingthe leap into international travel with kids:Pick a country where your child will have some new and familiar experiencesAny trip abroad is going to be huge change for a small child. So I would like to pick a country where I know people or speak the language.My neighbors who are living with their 10-year-old son on a university campus in Costa Risa for the spring semester, invited us to visit for the week. So, having another child built into the trip was essential for my child and she can spend a great time playing with her neighborhood pal.Unless your children can go all day at home, book some time for everyone to relaxWith sm all children, it’s a terrible mistake to overbook unless your child is energetic enough.

I also didn’t have a set agenda.Know your childKnowing your child’s strengths and weakness will help you on your trip, even as you teach them to go outside their comfort zones.My chil d loves to learn new things (like “Where’s the bathroom?”in Spanish) and does fine with a flexible schedule. She can pretty quickly regroup and decide to have fun doing a new thing. But she doesn’t do so well if she doesn’t eat a good protein snack. That’s why I packed healthy snacks and bought more.Plan a few grown-up eventsNo child I know wants to go on a coffee tour, but the grown-ups in our party like their caffeine. So off we went. Children need to see their parents doing something for themselves on a trip or they’ll think vacation (and life)is all about themselves. Teaching them to think about others is a good thing. I simply told her that we would also do fun staff for grown-ups and that complaining would send her into timeout. Luckily, it worked. By the end of the tour, she had gotten into the banana trees scattered about the plantation and the chocolate-covered fruit candy at the company store. She high-fived out tour guide at the end.Eat like a localThe local version of some food was really fresh and delicious.How did our trip turn out?As I was packing my luggage on our last morning there, my daughter said quietly, “I don’t want to leave.”“That’s the sign of a good vacation,” I replied. “Let’s come back some day.”60.
