Once upon a time, two brothers lived in a village. They were both famers and grew corn. The elder brother had many children to feed. The younger brother also had a big family to look after. Although the brothers were poor, they lived happily.
One year, there was a drought (干旱) and the corn didn’t grow well. The two brothers collected their small harvest and stored the grain in their barns (谷仓).
That night, the elder brother couldn’t sleep. He was worried about his brother. Would he have enough grain to feed his family? At last, the elder brother got out of bed. He went to his barn and filled a bag with grain. Then he went silently to his brother’s house and secretly added the grain to his brother’s pile (堆).
Every night, he did the same thing. He took some of his own grain and added it to his brother’s store. But after a while, he noticed something strange. His pile of grain never looked smaller in the morning.
One night, he decided to find out why. After it had got dark, he hid near his barn and watched. At last, a man came near with his own bag of grain. At first he didn’t know who he was. Then, he was amazed to see his own brother. Every night the younger brother had done the same thing—taking grain from his own pile to give to his brother.
It was true brotherly love!

阅读下面材料，找出与之匹配的中西方节日。It started several centuries ago in Europe．It began as “Hallow Evening” meaning “holy night”.At that time November 1st was called “All Saints’ Day” and people honored all the saints who did not have their own special day.
It happens in a small town Hanoi on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all kinds of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place at the end of long celebration.
.On Sunday children wake up to find that the Easter Bunny has left them baskets of candy. He has also hidden the eggs that they decorated earlier that week. Children hunt for the eggs all around the house.
Nowadays we play jokes on people on that day. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar container so another person could "accidentally" put it in their coffee. Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned.
The festival dates back 2,000 years ago with a number of legends explaining its origin. The best-known story is about a great patriotic poet named Qu Yuan. The customs vary in different areas of the country. On that day, most families hang a picture of Zhong Kui in their houses.
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too difficult for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even impossible. What’s more, my father is always angry. When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to be angry.
One day, my mother was sewing (缝) a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.
“What?” she replied, still doing her work.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer at once and continued to sew the quilt. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was embarrassed and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread(线). 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 quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very weak. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and in the evening, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. The doctor had said my father would get well in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. Both of us were worried about him.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.Why did the writer doubt whether there is love between her parents?
| A．Because they don’t send flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day. |
| B．Because they hardly say “I Love you” to each other. |
| C．Because her father has a bad temper and he is often not so gentle to his wife. |
| D．All of above. |
What did the writer’s mother do when she heard her daughter’s question?
| A．She felt embarrassed and didn’t say anything. |
| B．She didn’t answer at once and went on sewing the quilt. |
| C．She felt hurt by her daughter’s question and refused to answer it. |
| D．She was busy sewing the quilt and didn’t hear the question. |
