Sometimes I really doubt (怀疑) whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my brother's education and mine. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them, “I love you” is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.
One day, my mother was repairing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mom, may I ask you a question?” I said. “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 looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer my question at once. Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.
I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“ Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides 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 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. 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. The doctor had said my father would recover in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him. "Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day. "Susan, don't worry about me." he said gently. "To tell you the truth, I just like walk
ing with your mom. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
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. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Blame! Blame! Blame!
It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song, but the truth is, if you don't like your life, you should do
something about it. No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need. No one can read your
mind correctly. You are the only one with the power (能力) to change your life, and if you want it to be
different, you can change what you're doing. This means asking "What do I need? What do I want to do?"
instead of trying to meet others' needs. For example, try to decide how you want to spend your evening
instead of asking somebody else for advice. We teach other people how we want to be treated. If you
don't think of our own needs, no one else will either.
When you're in trouble, don't give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose
how you want to think and act. Other people can't make you unhappy or angry. They only act in their
own way and then it's up to you to decide how you will respond (回应). For example, your friends go
out to lunch without you. You feel angry. How are you going to act? You may blame your friends …
"They are not kind. Who needs them anyway?" or you may tell your friends how you feel, listen to their
explanation (解释), and let them know you'd like to be invited next time.
When you decide everything in your own way, you're getting hold of your own life and shaping it
according to your tastes and feelings. You can choose to be happy, to make friends and to build an
interesting life. When you blame others for what is or isn't happening in your life, you have stopped
growing or learning.
One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action. The
only person you have the right and power to change is yourself. Once you change, the other person then
has something different to respond to and change is possible. If you want change in your life, begin with
yourself … put love into your power to take action.
B. Read our minds correctly.
C. Change what we're doing.
D. Tell others what we want.
B. talk to them and try to find out why
C. do the same thing to them in return
D. ask somebody else to talk to them
B. He believes our love can change everything.
C. He chooses to talk with others directly.
D. He prefers to change ourselves first instead.
B. Four.
C. Five.
D. Six.
