   When I was young, I really doubted whether there was love between my parents. Every day they were busy earning money so that they could __34__  the high tuition my brother and I needed. They didn't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or saw on TV.

       One day, Mom was sewing(缝) a quilt. I silently sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a __35__  here，” I said after a while. “Is there love between you and Dad？” I asked her in a very __36__ voice.
