Love Is Just a Thread
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the 36 tuition for my brother and me. They don't 37 in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper; it's easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I 38 sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Is there any 39 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 40 in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
41 at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said 42 .“Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的).If life is a
43 ,then love should be a thread. It can 44 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is 45 .”
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her until the next 46 .At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were 47 ,every day in the morning and dusk(黄昏),my mother helped my father walk 48 on the country road. My father had never been so 49 .Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these 50 the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would 51 in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk alone. We were all worried.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan,”he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like 52 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 53 from his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this 54 ,I understand that love is just a 55 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 36 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 37 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, 38 to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 39 with lots of unexpected challenges( 挑战). We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.
40 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of 41 difficulties. We came to learn that something 42 could happen in a disaster . All over the world people 43 Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a 44 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 45 had been received and sorted.
As 46 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us 47 and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 48 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a 49 , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 50 in bed living happily and 51 .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so 52 we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 53 accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this 54 challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you 55 .
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan

It was pretty 32 outside and I had no plans to 33 to be in the bright sun. She 34 wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passersby for free. I had seen little kids 35 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt 36 , I decided to help her. 37 she asked me, “What if we 38 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 39 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 40 ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n) 41 with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 42 of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5－11 years with the 43 to do something for others.
All that seemed 44 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 45 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 46 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 47 to help clean cars. The passersby were 48 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 49 ! I feel blessed by being 50 by such wonderful and loving souls.
