根据短文理解,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳的一个答案填空。
Sometimes, I want to know whether there is any love between my parents. Every day, they are
1 trying to make money. They don't act romantically(浪漫地)the way couples(夫妇)do in books
2 on TV. They never say “I love you" to each other. It's not their
3.
One day, my mother was sewing(缝) a quilt. I sat down next to
4. “Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while. “What?" she asked, still working.
“Is there love
5 you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low
6.
She stopped her work and
7 her head. Then she bowed(低下)her head and went on sewing.
I thought I had hurt her. At last I heard my mother say, “Susan, look at this thread(线)Sometimes it
8, but most of it disappears in the quilt. It makes the quilt
9. If life
10 a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can

“Susan, don't worry about me,” he said gently “I just like
15 with your mom.” Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. Now, I know that love is the thread that holds a family together.
