Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very          trying to make money in order to         the high tuition（学费）for my brother and me. I never hear them say “I love you”, or see them send birthday         to each other. My father has a bad temper（脾气）. When he’s very tired from work, it is         for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was preparing dinner. I sat down       her.
“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.
“What?” she replied,        doing her work.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low         .
My mother stopped her work and         her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer and went on cooking.
I was very worried         I thought I had hurt her. I didn’t know what I should do.
A few days later, my father suddenly got sick       . My mother had to stay with him in the         for a month. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk（黄昏）, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so         . It seemed they were the most harmonious（和谐的）       .
“Dad, how are you         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         this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
