Sometimes I really doubt 36  there is love between my parents．Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me．They don’t act in the romantic ways  37 I read in books or I see on TV．In their opinion, “I love you” is    38  luxurious for them to say．Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question．Finally my father has a bad temper．When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper．
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt．I silently sat down beside her and looked at her．
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low  39

I was very worried because I thought I had   41  her．I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do．  42    at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said    43    , “Look at this thread．Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt．The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable．If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen    44   or anytime, but it’s really there．  45  is inside．”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her   46   the next spring．At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously．My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month．When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale．It seemed both of them had had a    47   illness．
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road．My father had  48   been so gentle．It seemed that they were the most harmonious couple．Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees．The sun gently glistened  49 the leaves．All of these    50   the most beautiful picture in the world．
The doctor had said my father would recover   51   two months．But after two months he still couldn’t walk    52   ．All of us were worried about him．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day．
“Susan, don’t worry about me．” he said gently．“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom．I like this kind of life．”   53    his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply．
Once I thought love  54    flowers, gifts and sweet kisses．But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life．Love is inside,  55    life strong and warm．．

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37   the same things thousand and one times, do not   38  me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a  40  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42  little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45  to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46  I need to and when not. When my   47  legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48  , the same way I did when you gave your first   49  . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50  any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51  my mistakes, I always wanted the   52   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(無可奈何) for seeing me   53  you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.

II. 完形填空（共20小題，每小題1分，滿分20分）
A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are convinced that most of today’s   26    problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no   27   to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything   28  there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a   29  side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope  30   they went up. They would have been   31  without her, but not once did they try to sneak （溜掉）by her without helping. And when the sled  32  my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to  33  them from falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes   34  among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can  35  them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to  36  some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children  37  on the sideline(作為旁觀者) and know that they will befriend（照顧）them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame  38   much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything,   39  the adults who have taught themselves.
Most adults have been   41  at some time or another, sadly, many   42  that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can  43  that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with  44  of bumps(撞傷) and bruises(擦傷), but we can all make it to the  45  if we remember to help those who need it.
