        I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's
    words as if it were yesterday:"Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has
    AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."
        AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew
    that this would be a family secret (秘密). My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone.
    For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other
    children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
        We couldn't afford all the necessary medication (治疗) for him, and because Dad was unable to work,
    I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling
    completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
        I did not share my burden (反应) with anyone, I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at
    classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults (成人) could be cruel (残酷). When my
    father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was
    too weak to feed himself.
        I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was
    completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit
    National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone
    who cared. She saved my life.
        I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him. He had never spoken about AIDS to
    anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.
    1. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?
    [     ]
    A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.
    B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.
    C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.
    D. He told no one about his disease.
    2. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
    [     ]
    A. Kerrel couldn't understand her teacher.
    B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.
    C. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.
    D. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.
    3. Why did Kerrel keep her father's disease a secret?
    [     ]
    A. She was afraid of being looked down upon.
    B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.
    C. She found no one willing to listen to her.
    D. She wanted to obey her mother.
    4. Why did Kerrel write the passage?
    [     ]
    A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.
    B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.
    C. To draw people's attention to AIDS.
    D. To remember her father.

    Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to another with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have money to pay for food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a horse farm.

    Sometimes I really doubt (怀疑) whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my brother's education and mine. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them, “I love you” is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.

    One day, my mother was repairing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mom, may I ask you a question?” I said. “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 looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer my question at once. Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.

    I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:

    “ Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides 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."

    I couldn't understand her until 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. 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 never been so gentle. The doctor had said my father would recover 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." he said gently. "To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

    Once I thought love meant 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, making life strong and warm.

    1.Why does the writer doubt the love of her parents?

    A. Because they hardly meet each other.

    B. Because they hardly speak to each other.

    C. Because they often argue with each other.

    D. Because they hardly express their love.

    2.How did the writer feel after she asked her mom the question?

    A. Embarrassed.B. Excited. C. Angry. D. Bored.

    3.What does the underlined word "durable" mean in Chinese?

    A. 好看的B. 廉价的 C. 耐用的D. .昂贵的

    4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. The writer understood her mum’s words at once.

    B. After two months from the hospital, Susan’s father could walk by himself.

    C. The writer’s parents didn’t love each other.

    D. Love is there, no matter whether you say it or not

    5.What's the best title for the passage?

    A. My Parents B. Love is Just a Thread

    C. How to Find Love D. Where to Find Love
