There was once a man called Mr.Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his spare time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competition. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.

Mr.Flowers’ glass-houses were close to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen years of age were often tempted(引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr.Flowers’ glass-houses. So Mr.Flowers did his best to be in or close by his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.

But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers has tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster, but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden. But the boys could run faster than he could,and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden , so that the boys would have nothing to throw, but they soon found others.

At last Mr.Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good,strong wood, some metres away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICES. After this, Mr.Flowers had no further trouble:the boys wee much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.

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.

1.What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph suggest?

A. There is beautiful scenery where the writer lived.

B. There is true love anywhere in the world.

C. There is no love without beautiful flowers.

D. There is true love between the writer’s parents.

2.Why didn’t the writer’s mother answer his question immediately?

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.

D. Because the writer had hurt her feelings.

3.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Love Is Everywhere                               B. Love Is Always Romantic

C. Love: Thread in Quilt                              D. Love Can Last Forever
