Read the following passage and then answer the questions. Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy earning money. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read about in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too much to say. One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. “Mom, I have a question for you,” I said, breaking the silence. “Go ahead,” she replied, still doing her work. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked in a very low voice. She stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. But then she lowered her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was then in great embarrassment （局促不安）because I thought I had hurt her. It seemed like forever before my mother started to speak again. “Susan” she said thoughtfully, “ look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread makes the quilt strong and durable (耐用的). If life is a quilt, the 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 didn’t understand until the next spring. My father suffered a stroke (中风）and couldn’t walk by himself anymore. Since then, my mother helped my father walk outside every day. Along the country road, there were beautiful flowers and trees. The sun gently glistened (闪闪发光) through leaves. They two, hand in hand, walked slowly. To me, that was the most beautiful picture in the world –that’s a picture of love. They still don’t say “ I love you” to each other. But I know they have a deep love for each other. Once I thought love meant flowers and sweet kisses. But actually, love is just a thread in the quilt. 1.What keeps Susan’s parents busy? _______________________________________________________________ 2.
