Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very 1 trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don't act in the 2 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too 3 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more 4___ Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his 5 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her.
"Mom, I have a question to ask you."
"What?"
"Is there love between you and Dad?"
My mother stopped her work and 6 her head with 7 in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately.
I was very 8 because I thought I had hurt her. I was 9 a great embarrassment and I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother’s words:
"Susan," she said thoughtfully, "Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it 10 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 11 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really 12 . Love is inside."
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her 13 the next spring, when my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the 14 for a month. When they returned from the hospital, it seemed both of them had had a serious illness.
After that, every day in the morning and 15 , my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. It seemed they were the most harmonious(和谐的,和睦的) 16 .
The doctor had said my father would 17 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. To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life." 18 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet 19 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our 20 . Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

A
We are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices, in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using computers at school before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?
Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing up not knowing about the real world.
But people who understand more about computers see that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and to think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?
1.” To be familiar with” means to ____.
A. be in the same family as B. know about C. dislike D. like
2. According to the passage, in which four places can you find computers?
A. at home, in offices, in factories and in schools
B. At home, in schools, in banks and in offices
C. At home, in hospitals, in schools and in offices
D. At home, in shops , in offices and in schools
3. Does everyone think computers are good for children?
A. Yes, they do B. No, not everyone thinks so C. They don’t know D. They are not sure
4. “ To learn form experience” means to ___.
A. learn from doing something B. learn from a teacher
C. press a button D. learn form each other
5. What three things can computers help children to do ?
A. to think clearly, to do homework and to write B. to play games, to do maths and to copy C. to think clearly, to get information. D. To clean the house and to get information
B
It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (灾难) or even a wonder.
There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(缺乏) –bread, vegetables and other things – not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals education or helping the old.
According to the writer, Britain is a country____.
which has regular snow
which is not well prepared for snow
for which snow is not a catastrophe
for which snow is a wonder
7..The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except____
A. traffic B. communication

8. After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because______
A.shops have closed down
B.people buy as much as they can
C.farmers can’t produce any more
D.people eat more vegetables in winter
9. The first reason that the British don’t buy snow ploughs is that______
A.spreading salt is good enough
B.old people need more money
C.snow ploughs are not used often
D.the hospital is more important]
10. The words “two extremes” in the second paragraph mean the countries_____
A.which have snow either as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weather
B.which either have heavy snow or light snow
C.to which snow either causes problems or no problems
D.which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs
