Sometimes I really wonder whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy making money. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read about in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too much to say.

One day,my mother was sewing a quilt(縫被子) .

I quietly sat down beside her and 1.         her.

"Mom,I have a question for you," I said,break?ing the 2      .

"What?" she asked,still doing her work.

"Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her in a very 3.       voice.

She stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. But then she bowed her head and

continued to sew the quilt. I was very 4.        then because I thought I had hurt her.

It seemed like a very long time before my mother started to speak again. "Susan," she said thoughtfully  "look at this thread(線) .Sometimes it 5.        ， but most of it disappears(消失) in the quilt. The thread makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can 6.       

be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is inside.”

I listened carefully but I didn't understand 7.       the next spring. My father had a stroke (中風(fēng)) and 8.       walk by himself anymore. After that,my mother 9.       my father walk outside every day. Along the country road,there were many beautiful flowers and trees. The sun gently glis?tened through leaves. They two,hand in hand,walked slowly. To me,that was 10.        picture in the world―-that's a picture of love.

They still don't say "I love you" to each other. But I know they have deep love for each other. I used to think love meant flowers and sweet kisses. But actu?ally,love is just a thread in the quilt.

In 1972，I returned to Miami Beach High School to give a speech to a dance class. After the 1       I asked the dance teacher if any of my English teachers was still there. He told me that Irene Roberts was in the class just down the hall.

I was no one 2       in Miss Roberts' class―just another sport fan who didn't do very well in English. Yet I can't forget her respect for ideas and for her students. I realize now,many 3       later,that she is one of the best 4       I have ever had. I told the dance teacher that Vd like to say something to her,but I was afraid to 5       her right now. The dance teacher told me that Miss Roberts would be 6       to see me.

The dance teacher brought Miss Roberts into the hallway where stood this 32-year-old man she last 7       at the age of 18. "I'm Mark MedoffI told her. "You were my 12th grade 8       teacher in 1958. ”She looked at me carefully for some time 9       didn't seem to remember who I was. At that moment I got so many things to say to her,but what I 10       said was："Miss Roberts,I want you to know you were so important to me.”Hearing this,Miss Roberts began to weep and held me in her arms.
