　　A

　　(2019·昆明高三调研)Nine months ago, I was packing my daughter's backpack with new school supplies, wondering how I was going to send her off to kindergarten. I stood on the playground, tears pouring down my face because I wasn't ready for this first day of kindergarten-but she was ready. Today I will be standing on the playground, once again with tears, because this precious time went by too quickly. This week I realized that I never told you "thank you". I don't know how to express a mother's thanks in the way a teacher deserves.

　　We first met you at the open house the week before school started and I immediately knew you would be the type of teacher we would appreciate forever. While the students lined up for the day, you touched each one on the shoulder as you greeted them. If a student was having a tough morning, you quietly held his hand and walked him into the school.

　　I got to know you as I volunteered in the lunch room. You made sure your students were all ready for lunch before you went on your own lunch break. You kept track of their big things and small things, because as a veteran kindergarten teacher, you know that the small things are the big things. I loved the way you made each student feel special. You helped them fall in love with school, which is so important at the start.

　　To all of the teachers in the world who are like you, I wish you knew how grateful parents are for you. We adore you, respect you, and appreciate you. We don't tell you enough-we probably don't tell you ever. I wish we could take you with us to the next 12 grades.

C　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的" I stood on the playground, tears pouring down my face because I wasn't ready for this first day of kindergarten-but she was ready．"可知，作者落泪的原因是自己心里未做好面对孩子离开自己去上幼儿园的准备。故C项为正确答案。根据第一段首句中的"Nine months ago, I was packing my daughter's backpack with new school supplies"可知，作者对孩子入园前的各项物品的准备是充分的，故A项错误；B、D两项均为无中生有。
