19．
Sometimes，I wonder whether there is any love between my parents．Every day they are busy trying to make money．They don't act romantic the way couples do in books and on TV．They never say："I love you．"It's not their style．One day，my mother was sewing a quilt （被子）．I sat down beside her．
"Mom，I have a question to ask you，"I said after a while．
"What？"she asked，still working．
"Is there love between you and Dad？"I asked her．
She didn't answer right away．
I thought I had hurt her．At last I heard my mother say："Susan，look at this thread （线）．Sometimes it appears，but most of it disappears in the quilt．It makes the quilt strong．If life was a quilt，then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen anywhere，but it's really there．"
I listened carefully but I didn't understand her until the next spring．My father suddenly got seriously sick．My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month．
After they got back，she helped my father walk slowly down the country road every day．My father had never been so gentle．
"Dad，how are you feeling now？"I asked him one day．
"Susan，don't worry about me，"he said．"I just like walking with your mom．I like this kind of life．"
Once，I thought love meant flowers，gifts and sweet kisses．Now，I know that love is the thread that holds a family together．
44．Why does the writer think there may be no love between her parents？A
A．Because they never say："I love you．"to each other．
B．Because they don't look after each other．
C．Because they don't go for walks together．

分析 这篇短文作者主要介绍了父母之间的感情故事．作者一直想知道父母之间有没有爱情，在一次谈话中母亲用做棉被的线来比喻他们之间的感情，但是作者还是不太懂．知道有一天，父亲生病了，作者才明白了母亲说的那番话的含义．
解答 答案：44．A 细节理解题．根据Sometimes，I wonder whether there is any love between my parents．Every day they are busy trying to make money．They don't act romantic the way couples do in books and on TV．They never say："I love you．有时候，我不知道父母之间是否有爱，他们每天都在忙着赚钱，他们不像夫妻在书上和电视上那样浪漫，他们从来不说："我爱你"．可知作者认为他的父母之间没有爱因为他们从不互相说我爱你．故选A．
