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. |
【小题3】 In the passage, “thread” may represent _______________.| A．Susan’s family | B．the relationship between her parents |
| C．the daily life | D．the love between her parents |

It' seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot(盲点 )on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment（实验） that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.
Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right, First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now. as you move the card slowly towards you. you'll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again, Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you'll find the letter R disappearing,
Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image（影像） or the letter falls on the blind spot, it won't be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.

Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it.We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.
| Chores | 2000 teenagers in small villages | 2000 teenagers in big cities |
| Take out the trash | 1600 | 1000 |
| Sweep the floor | 1200 | 850 |
| Make the bed | 1400 | 750 |
| Do the dishes | 1100 | 600 |
| Fold the clothes | 900 | 1500 |

| A．500 | B．1,000 | C．1,500 | D．2,000 |
| A．making the bed | B．taking out the trash |
| C．folding the clothes | D．doing the dishes |
| A．Because they don’t want teenagers in China to do chores at home. |
| B．Because they thought it’ll help teenagers to take good care of themselves to do chores at home. |
