When I was a naughty boy, maybe because of the influence of the film "Xiao Bing Zhang Ga", my dream was to be a just like Zhang Ga. I thought if I was a soldier, I should be able to swim, dive and climb trees he did. It seemed to be very . So I began to learn swimming, diving and climbing trees. I practiced every day and finally I do them well. But when I entered junior high school and had the military training(军训), I suddenly found that a soldier was very difficult and I wasn't strong enough to stand it. I had to my dream.

But I wasn't , and I had a new aim, which was to be a postman, or rather to be a newspaper boy. As a newspaper boy, I could along streets on a bike and throw newspapers onto every porch.

Do you like traditional Chinese paper-cutting? Ding Xiang, a student at Nongsishi Middle School in Xinjiang, is really good at it. At the eighth National Excellent Talents Competition last month in Beijing, the 15-year-old girl got the gold award（金奖） for her paper-cutting skills.

At the competition, Ding cut a piece: Millennium Dream（千年梦想）. The piece has two papers. One shows an ancient cave painting(壁画) and the other a Chinese-made spaceship. The two papers form a sharp contrast（对比）. Ding said she wanted to show three things with the piece: China’s long history, China’s rapid development, and her hope for the future of paper-cutting. This piece helped Ding walk away with the gold award.

“I was very surprised to get the award.” Ding said in an interview with Yili Daily, a Xingjiang newspaper. “I should thank paper-cutting for bringing me the award.”

All the hard work has paid off. In two years, Ding’s skills have improved a lot, and she has the gold award to prove(证明) it.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. 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 difficult for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even impossible. What’s more, my father is always angry. When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to be angry.

One day, my mother was sewing (缝) 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 at once and continued to sew the quilt. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was embarrassed 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(线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的). 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.”

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 weak. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and in the evening, 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 get well in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. Both 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 walking 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.

1.Why did the writer doubt whether there is love between her parents?

A. Because they don’t send flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day.

B. Because they hardly say “I Love you” to each other.

C. Because her father has a bad temper and he is often not so gentle to his wife.

D. All of above.

2.What did the writer’s mother do when she heard her daughter’s question?

A. She felt embarrassed and didn’t say anything.

B. She didn’t answer at once and went on sewing the quilt.

C. She felt hurt by her daughter’s question and refused to answer it.

D. She was busy sewing the quilt and didn’t hear the question.

3. From the article, we know that_____________________________________.

A. Love means flowers, gifts and sweet kisses

B. We must often show our love to the ones we love in the romantic ways

C. We don’t need to do anything to show our love to others
