Jack was ten years old, and his brother, Jimmy, was five. One day, after (play) for an hour, they were hungry. Their mom took Jack into the kitchen. She gave him two apples and said to him: “Now give one of (they) to your brother. But remember to do it like a gentleman.”
“Like a gentleman?” Jack asked. “How do gentlemen do it?”
“They always give the (big) one to the other person,” answered his mom at once.

B. Others have learned how to work in a team.
C. “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities.
D. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
E. Many people think the survival activities are good for children.
Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
Why do people like “Survival Holidays”? It is because they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities under the control of adults(大人), but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay cool in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

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 (缝被子). I quietly sat down beside her and     her.
“Mom, I have a question for you,” I said, breaking the   .
“What?” she asked, still doing her work.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very     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     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 (线). Sometimes it    , 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     be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is inside (在里面).”
I listened carefully but I didn’t understand     the next spring. My father had a stroke (中风) and     walk by himself anymore. After that, my mother     my father walk outside every  day. Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers and trees. The sun gently glistened through leaves. They two, hand in hand, walked slowly. To me, that was    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 actually, love is just a thread in the quilt.
