　　【2017·天津卷】C

　　“Dad,” I say one day …..take a trip. Why don’t you fly and meet me?”

　　My father had just retired……….. His job filled his day, his thought, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.

　　My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.

　　He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.

　　“ What is our first stop?” asks my father.
