 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.”
  I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.
  After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed they were the most harmonious couple. Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently glistened through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.
  Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life, making life strong and warm.

阅读短文,根据意思,判断所给句子的正误。正确的写T,错误的写F。

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet(问候) each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual(不寻常的) question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks“ How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply (只)other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.

  Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly(确切) what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly(强烈地), so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.

  People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example, many talks on the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up(挂)says: “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning (烧)on the stove(炉).” The excuses(借口) might be real(真的), or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt (伤)the other person.

  Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, of finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.

1.“How are you?” is another way of saying "Hello." or" Hi."

2.It is polite to say" No. I disagree. I think you are wrong, "if you don’t agree with others.

3.When someone says "I have to go now "On the phone,it means he wants to go on talking.

4."Someone is at the door." may be an excuse for finishing a talk.

5.Sometimes people don't say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be nice to each other.
