(陕西省临渭区2010届高三第一次适应性调研测试)

Love is Just A Thread

　　 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　 21　 tuition fee for my brother and me． They don’t　 22　 in‘the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV．My father has a bad temper，it’s easy for him to lose his temper．One day，my mother was sewing a quilt．I　 23　 sat down beside her and looked at her．

　 “Is there any　 24　 between you and Dad?”I asked her in a very low voice．

　 　　 My mother stopped her work and raised her head with　 25　 in her eyes．She didn’t answer immediately．Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt．

　 　26　　 at last I heard my mother say the following words．

"Susan，”’She said　 27　 . “Look at this thread．Sometimes it appears，but most of it disappears in the quilt．The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的)．If life is a 28　　 ，then love should be a thread．It can　 29　 be seen anywhere or anytime，but it’s really there．Love is　 30　 ．”

　 　　 I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next　 31　 ．At that time，my father suddenly got sick seriously．My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month． After they were　 32　 ，every day in the morning and dusk，my mother helped my father walk　 33　 on the country road．My father had never been so　 34　 ．Along the country road，there were many beautiful flowers，green grass and trees．The sun gently shone through the leaves．All of these　 35　 　the most beautiful picture in the world．The doctor had said my father would　 36　 in two months．But after two months he still couldn’t walk alone．We were all worried．

　　 “Dad．how are you feeling now?”I asked him one day．

　　 “Susan，”he said gently，“To tell you the truth，I just like　 37　 with your mom．I like this kind of life．”　 38　 his eyes，I knew he loved my mother deeply．

　 　　 Once I thought love meant flowers，girls and sweet kisses．But from this39，I understand that love is just a40 in the quilt of our life．Love is inside，making life strong and warm．
