Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. They are very busy working to 15 the family. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or see on TV. It is even more 16 for them to send flowers to each other.
One day, when my mother was sewing a quilt (被子), I 17 sat down beside her and looked at her “Mom, is there love between you and Dad ” I asked her in a low voice.
My mother stopped and raised her head with 18 in her eyes. Then she bowed her head and continued sewing. She didn’t answer at once. I was very worried 19 I thought I had hurt her. Later, she said “Look at this thread (线). Some of it 20 , but you can’t see most of them. If life is a quilt, then 21 should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick. Every day in the morning and evening, my mother helped him walk slowly on the country road. 22 the road were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun shone gently through the leaves. All these made the most beautiful 23 in the world.
“Mum, how are you feeling now ” I asked her.
She said gently. “I just like walking with your father.” Reading her eyes, I know she loves my father 24 .
Before I thought love meant flowers, presents and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of life, inside, making life strong and warm.

The Smallest Life Around Us
Tiny plants and animals live all around us. We cannot see them because they are so small, but they are everywhere.
They live in the soil, the air, and in rivers and oceans. They grow on mountains and in caves. Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot. They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals. Some are even living on you, on your skin, hair, and inside your body, in your mouth, nose, and all through your intestines(肠).
These tiny plants and animals are called microbes. The word microbe is made from two other words: micro, meaning small, and bios, meaning life. So, microbe means small life.
Microbes have been on earth for a very long time. They may have been the first forms of life to be alive. Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things.
People did not know microbes had existed(存在) long. They were too small for them to see.
But people did see many changes in their world—important changes. And they did not know what caused them. They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad. They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become infected(感染). They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil. Such changes were a natural part of the world, but people did not understand them. They did not know these changes were evidence of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.
7.Why couldn’t people see microbes
A. Because they are too small.
B. Because they live inside our body.
C. Because they live far from humans.
D. Because they may have been the first forms of life to be alive.
8. The underlined phrase “crumble apart” in the last paragraph means “______”.
A. grow taller B. change into soil
C. break into tiny pieces D. become colourful and energetic
9. Choose the answer that completes the web below.
A. Microbes are very small B. Microbes are all around us
C. People can’t see microbes D. Food begins to smell bad

Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career, since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris. Her work received a National Book Award for Poetry in 2014. And on Oct 8 she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.
Gluck is praised “for her unmistakable poetic voice that, with simple beauty, makes up a general idea”. “She is presented the prize for her simple and clear writing style of poems. To her, the most beautiful poems come from her life. She cares a lot about common people in her creating.” Nobel Committee Chair Person said.

Gluck has been able to turn her life experiences into common themes covering life, loss, and loneliness. Because of this, readers have often found her works to be “dark”. However, there is much more than darkness in her voice. For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a dark path but with the light at the near end. This is often the case in Gluck’s poems, being able to feel joy in the end.
Although she’s already a well-known writer, Gluck didn’t expect to be given the Nobel award. When asked what the prize means to her, the poet said, “It’s too sudden...I don’t really know what it means.” Her only hope is that she can remain her daily life.
