Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. So, I really doubted whether there was any love between my parents. Every day they were working hard to pay for my high school. They didn’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books and saw on TV, and they certainly didn’t send flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day (情人节).
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I asked her if there was any love between her and my dad. She stopped and raised her head in surprise. Then she went on with her work without saying anything. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her feelings. But after a few minutes she said, “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. If life is a quilt, then love is the thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or at any time, but it’s really there, and makes the quilt long-lasting.” I listened carefully but I didn’t understand her until the next spring.
My mother suddenly got seriously ill and had to stay in hospital for about a month. Every morning and evening after she returned from the hospital, my father helped her walk slowly along our country road. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently shone through the leaves. All of this made the most beautiful picture in the world. Reading their eyes, I knew they love each other deeply. From this experience, I realized that love is just a thread in the quilt of our lives. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

C. There is no love without beautiful flowers.
D. There is true love between the writer’s parents.

A. Because her husband didn’t love her.
B. Because she was thinking of a better answer.
C. Because she didn’t love her husband.

“Gift” comes from the old Germanic root for “to give”. It meant an act of giving, and then turned into the thing being given. In Old English it meant the dowry(彩礼) given to a bride’s parents. “Present” comes from French. A present is the thing presented or given. But from the 13th century, the two words were in use for the idea of something given to others without paying.
However, they still have some differences in meaning and usage.
“Gift” has more meanings. Gifts can be talents. For example, you can have the art gift or a musical gift. Gifts can be invisible. There is the gift of understanding or the gift of a quiet day.
But we don’t use presents for things like this. Presents are real objects. If your whole family donated to pay for your college on your birthday, would you say “I got a lot of presents”? It doesn’t exactly sound wrong, but since you never hold these donations in your hand, “gifts” seem to fit better.
“Gift” can also act like an adjective to be put in front of another noun. What do you call this kind of shop where you can buy presents? A gift shop. What do you call the basket of presents that you can send to others? A gift basket. “Present” can’t be used like this. We may have gift boxes and gift cards, not present boxes or present cards!
“Gift” is used more often than “present” in modern English. “Present” also means “the time now”.
1.We can use the following expressions EXCEPT _________ .
A. Bill has a gift for sports
B. Mary got into a present store
C. Jack has received lots of birthday gifts
D. Rose enjoys shopping at present
2.What can we know about the words “gift” and “present” from the passage?
A. They both have the same meaning from the beginning.
B. “Present” is used more often than “gift” in modern English.
C. We can call the basket of gifts sent to others “a present basket”.
D. They’re both used for describing something given to others for free.
3.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A. “gift” has more meanings than “present” in English.
B. “Gift” and “present” come from different language families.
C. “Gift” and “present” have some differences in meaning and usage.
D. “Gift” and “present” have similar meanings, but people prefer to use “gift”.
4.Where can we probably read the passage?
A. In a fashion magazine.
B. In a travel guide.
C. In a newspaper.
D. In a sports magazine.
