Sometimes I really doubt whether there is    1  between my parents. Every day they are very   2   trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don't act in the   3  ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too luxurious(奢侈的)for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more   4 . Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his   5  .

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her.

"Mom, I have a question to ask you."

"What?"

"Is there love between you and Dad?"

My mother stopped her work and   6   her head with   7   in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately.

I was very   8   because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and   I didn't know what to do. But   9    I heard my mother’s words: "Susan," she said thoughtfully, "Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it   10   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   11   be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really   12  . Love is inside."

I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her   13   the next spring, when my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the   14   for a month. When they returned from the hospital, it seemed both of them had had a serious illness.

After that, every day in the morning and   15  , my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. It seemed they were the most harmonious   16  .

The doctor had said my father would   17   in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.

"Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.

"Susan, don't worry about me. To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life."   18   his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet   19  . But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our   20  . Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very   1   trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don't act in the   2   ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too    3   for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more   4  . Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his   5  .

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her.

    "Mom, I have a question to ask you."

    "What?"

    "Is there love between you and Dad?"

    My mother stopped her work and   6   her head with   7   in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately.

    I was very   8   because I thought I had hurt her. I was   9   a great embarrassment（尷尬）and I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother’s words: "Susan," she said thoughtfully, "Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it   10   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   11   be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really   12  . Love is inside."

    I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her   13   the next spring, when my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the   14   for a month. When they returned from the hospital, it seemed both of them had had a serious illness.

    After that, every day in the morning and   15  , my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. It seemed they were the most harmonious   16  .

The doctor had said my father would   17   in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.

"Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.

"Susan, don't worry about me. To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life."   18   his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet   19  . But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our   20  . Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
