    Once, there was a beautiful girl who didn’t like herself, because she was blind, she couldn’t see anything.
    In fact, the girl loved nobody except her boyfriend, for he was always ready to help her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “If I could see the world, I would marry you.”
    One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to the girl. When the bandages came off，she was able to see   everything, including her boyfriend for the first time. He asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you   marry me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and was greatly surprised to see that he was blind, too. She had never expected that, and she would not like to be with a blind husband for the rest of her life, so she refused to marry him.
    Her boyfriend left in tears and a few days later wrote a note to her, saying, “My dear, take good care of your eyes. Before they are yours, they were mine.”
    So, this is how the human brain often works when our situation changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before. And we often ask for more than we need. Life is a gift. Today, before you complain about the taste of your food，think of those who have nothing to eat. Before you complain about life，think of some ones who went to heaven too early. Before you complain about your old house, think of the people who are living in the streets. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of those who have no jobs.
    In a word, enjoy the things you have and don’t forget your past.

    Sometimes I really doubt whether 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 that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too 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. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while. "What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
    I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment 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 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 anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is inside."
    小题1: Why does Susan’s father have a bad temper?
    A．Because he doesn’t love the family.
    B．Because he doesn’t earn much money.
    C．Because he’s very tired from the hard work.
    D．Because he doesn’t act in the romantic ways.
    小题2: In Susan’s opinion, _______________________.
    A．her mother enjoys doing chores at home.
    B．her parents love each other very much.
    C．love means sending flowers on Valentine’s Day and saying “I love you”
    D．her parents love to make money.
