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.

Everyone has experienced trying, but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is　36　to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in　37　too much from the first reading of a(n)　38　 book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the　39　reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair(令人失望).
What is the right method? The　40　is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not 　41　 or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever 　42　 to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you 　43　 understand. Read through the difficult 　44　,and you soon come to things that you do understand. Read these 　45　.You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that 　46　 you to have read the book through once 　47　.
What you understand by reading the book through to the　48　 will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not 　49　 in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding 　50　 of it, which will happen 　51　 you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to 　52　 the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the 　53　 of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another 　54　 for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only 　55　our reading, instead of helping it.
