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 16 tuition(学费) for my brother and me. They don’t 17 in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper（脾气）; it’s easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(缝被子). I 18 sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there any 19 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 20 in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt. 21 at last I heard my mother say the following words:“Susan,” she said 22 , “Look at this thread（线）. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable（耐用）. If life is a 23 , then love should be a thread. It can 24 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is 25.
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next 26 . 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 27, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk 28 on the country road. My father had never been so 29 . Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these 30 the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 31 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 32 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 33 his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this 34 , I understand that love is just a 35 in the quilt of out life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

举一反三
You speak, write a letter, and make a telephone call. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words?
A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV and radios and films all help us to communicate with each other. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
小题1:Can we communicate with each other without words? | A．Yes, some times we can. | | B．No, we can"t. | | C．No. It"s impossible. | | D．Yes, we always do so. |

Friendship continues to remain central to our lives. Friends often affect our health and energy. More and more people are increasingly turning towards their friends for support and sharing rather than just communicating with their relatives. We may have a very unclear understanding of what makes a friend but we all want to have a good number of friends around us. There are certain things you do to help you make friends or at least help you get close to people whom you want to make friends with.
The first step to make friends with people is to make them like you. If they don’t like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are interested in him, simple gestures like a little smile and calling him by his name can help. To make the other person feel important, you need to be a good listener and to encourage him to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion, but do not make fun of him.
The second step is to develop trust in each other. You need to share opinions with this person and it is necessary for you to develop a habit of seeing things from his point of view. To become the best of friends, you must show concern and consideration for your friends’ desires and opinions.
The third and final step is to show your support and encouragement towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend. If what you expect from the person you want to be a friend matches with what that person can and wants to do in friendship, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be easy and successful.

Nowadays, millions of lonely singles are now going online instead. The World Wide Web is quickly becoming the world’s most popular matchmaker（媒人）.
Singles are flocking（涌向）to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant other. Using dating sites（约会网址）is quick and convenient. Many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else. Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in. In the real world, however, ignoring someone you don’t like can be difficult.
Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems. People aren’t always those who they declare to be in their online description. Safety is another concern. You are just likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr. or Miss Right.
Online dating experts recommend following a few safety tips:
Guard your personal information. Never give out your personal information online. This includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work.
Watch for red flags. Do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful comments? Do they try to control you? Do they give false information about themselves? If so, forget them!
Meet in a safe place. When meeting someone in person, choose a public location with other people around.
Following these tips and you might be able to find the person of your dreams.

Supermarket Morrisons today announced to launch an online shopping operation within two years in a move to catch up with its web-savvy rivals. The UK"s fourth biggest supermarket said Morrisons.com would offer grocery and non-food products but would take time to build from zero.
As part of its online development, Morrisons - the only one of the "Big Four" grocers to have a significant internet business - revealed it had invested £32 million in a 10% stake of a New York-based online grocer. The announcement came as Morrisons posted a 13% increase in underlying pre-tax profits of £869 million in the year to January 30.
Morrisons is implementing a growth strategy which is focused on expanding its e-commerce business and moving into the convenience store market. It has earmarked £3 billion in investment over the next three years. The supermarket floated the idea of launching its own website last year and today is the first firm commitment to realising that goal.

FreshDirect was launched in 2002 and serves 600,000 customers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The deal will see Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips join the company"s board.
Morrisons also revealed it would open three convenience stores, around 3,000 sq ft in size, in July under the name M Local. The shops will be located in Morrisons" heartland in the north of England, in neighbourhoods around the M62 motorway. The company said the convenience business was the second-fastest growing part of the market. Rival models include Tesco Metro and Sainsburys Local.
