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.

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”

Dragons can be friendly or fierce (凶狠), they can bring good luck or cause death, but one  thing is sure——people  talk about  them almost everywhere in the world.
In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, although  they can be unpredictable. The dragon was closely connected  to  the royal  family: the emperor"s robes (礼袍) have a symbol of a gold dragon with five claws. According  to popular belief,  if you were born  in  the year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader.
But in the west, dragons had a different reputation (名声). The very first text in English, the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills a dangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight. However, across the border in Wales, the red dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol, indicating strength and a sense of national identity.
Why should  the dragon have a different character  in different parts of  the world? Some experts believe it is due to the animals that the myths grew out of.  In the west, the  idea of  the dragon probably came  from  the snake—an animal which people hated and were afraid of.
But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come from  the alligator--a shy animal which lives in rivers, but which  is usually only seen when  there  is plenty of water--a good sign for agriculture(农业). So the Chinese dragon was a bringer of good fortune.

小题2: 阅读填词，每空一词。
In China, people think the dragon may have come from the ____ which is a shy animal. However, in the west, they think the dragon may come from the _____ that they hated and scared.
