Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to   36  in order to pay the high school cost for my brother and me. They don’t act in the   37  ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too   38  for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Lovers’ Day is even more out of   39 .
One day, Mom was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I sat   40  beside her. “Mom, I have a question. Is there   41  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
Mom stopped her work and raised her head with   42  in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. She   43  her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had   44  her. I was very regretful and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said   45 , “Look at this thread. Sometimes it   46 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and long-lasting. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can   47    be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is   48 .”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t   49  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 home, they both looked   50 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and sunset, my mother helped my father walk   51  on the country road.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan ,” he said kindly. “To tell you the truth, I just like   52  with your mom.”   53 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and   54 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just   55  in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
I used to believe in the American dream that meant a job, credit, success.I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us separately chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell apart.I found myself homeless and alone.I had my truck and $56.I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount.I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley.I hadn't been alone for 25 years.I was scared, but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me.
I found the owner and rented the place for $50 a month.The locals knew nothing about me.But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor.They dropped off blankets, tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat.They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing.They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream, not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness.Men would stop by with wild berries, ice cream, truck parts to see if I was up for courting.I wasn't, but they were civil anyway.The women on that mountain worked harder than any I'd ever met.They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe.I learned to keep enough for an extra plate for company.
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life, were non-existent in this place.Up on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors.
After four years in that valley, I moved back into town.I saw a lot of people were having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes.With the help of a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) I chatted up at the grocery store, I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people.It's four of us now, but over time I've had nine come in and move on to other places from here.We'd all be in shelters if we hadn't banded together.
The American dream I believe in now is a shared one.It's not so much about what I can get for myself; it's about how we can all get by together.
56.Before a series of unhappy events happened, the writer ____.
A.had a well-paid job
B.worked hard for his American dream
C.worked hard and liked to share
D.felt hopeless about his American dream
57.What does the underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refer to?
A.The house.              B.The job.
C.The company.            D.The American dream.
58.What does the underlined sentence "I learned to..." in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.The writer learned to run a company.
B.The writer learned to share with others.
C.The writer learned to keep enough plates.
D.The writer learned to save money for his company.
59.Why did the writer rent a big house?
A.To make some money.           B.To show off his wealth.
C.To share with those people in need.     D.To make friends with his neighbors.
60.The writer mainly tells us about ____.
A.his unhappy experiences          B.the friendly people in the valley
C.the change of his living conditions           D.his new idea of the American dream
