“what’s the matter, mum?” As soon as I enter the door, I find that my mother is       . It’s unusual —she usually        the door and welcomes me with a smile!
“She's dying,” mum says sadly. I        what she says. The tulip (郁金香), mother’s         is dying.
A month ago, we moved        our new house and mum bought a very beautiful tulip. Mum liked it very much.       . she was free, she would sit        her armchair beside the tulip and enjoys its beautiful colour        sweet smell.
She treated it like a baby and looked after it       . She put the tulip by window and moved it from one place to        to give the tulip enough sunshine. The first thing she did when she        every morning was        the tulip, Mum also fertilized (施肥) it many times.
She hoped that with great care, the tulip would become more and more beautiful and       , But the tulip was dying        too much sunshine, water and fertilizer.
It's true that mother loved the tulip. But this kind of love        be harmful. Love can sometimes kill what you love.
