Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to
26 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 27 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too
28 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of
29 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there
30 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She
31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had
32 her. I was
33 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it
34 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt

41 on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t
42 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”
43 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and
44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just
45 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.| 小题1: | | A．keep fit | B．rise early | C．earn money | D．collect money |
