【题目】

Sometimes I really doubt 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(被子). I silently sat beside her and looked at her. "Mum, may I ask you a question?" I said.

"What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dads" 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 walking with your mum. 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.

【题目】 BAO, a story of a lonely mother whose little dumpling comes to life, has touched the hearts of millions. The Oscar-winning short film was directed by Chinese-Canadian Domee Shi(石之予). Bao tells bao a heart-warming tale of parental love and the loss feeling when children grow older and leave home.

The mother finds great joy in caring for her little dumpling boy. But all little “baos” grow up. They make friends and become independent. As the dumpling becomes a teen, he pulls away from his mom. All teens can relate to this frustrating time; 父母想要对待你像小“包宝宝”,即使你几乎是一个成年人了。

As the mother tries hard to stop her “bao” from leaving, she puts him into her mouth and swallows(吞下)him. She is immediately filled with regret and sadness. Her desire to keep him close makes her lose him forever.

Are your parents too protective? Do they make you feel like a “little dumpling”? Do you feel unhappy about this? If so, it will help to remember the love and sadness of the mother in Bao. When you want to roll your eyes(翻白眼)in frustration, remember that your parents are motivated by love. The desire to become more independent is normal. However, you are expected to express your feelings without “lashing out(斥责)” like “bao” does in the film. Ask your parents how you can have some privacy(隐私)and independence in a way that makes them feel comfortable. And remind them that, in some way, you will always be their “little bao”.
