【題目】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 for my brother’s education and mine. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them, "I love you" is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.

One day, my mother was repairing a quilt(被子). I silently sat beside her and looked at her. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said. "Yes." 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 looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer at once. Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.

I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed(尷尬的) that I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:

“Look at this thread(). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen everywhere, but it's really there.”

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from the experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

1Why does the writer doubt the love between her parents?

A. Because they hardly meet each other.

B. Because they hardly speak to each other.

C. Because they often argue with each other.

D. Because they hardly express their love.

2How did the writer feel after she asked her mom the question?

A. Bored B. Excited C. Angry D. Embarrassed

3What does the underlined word “durable” mean in Chinese?

A. 好看的 B. 廉價(jià)的 C. 耐用的 D. 昂貴的

4What can we infer(判斷) from the fifth paragraph?

A. Life is just like a quilt.

B. Love is like a thread.

C. People should often say “I love you”.

D. Love is there, no matter whether you see it or not.

5What’s the best tittle for the passage?

A. A thread and a quilt. B. The love between my parents

C. How to find love D. Where to find love

This was a great honor, but Alexandra's style of painting was all her own.

Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works tohelp support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believerin the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to build peace throughout the world.

China, the homeland of tea, is the birthplace of tea culture. The tradition of making and drinking tea has been thousands of years. The Chinese tea culture has been famous all over the world. China had tea as early as five to six thousand years ago, and Chinese people started to plant tea two thousand years ago.

Tea is produced in most areas of China from Hainan Island to Shandong Province, from Tibet to Taiwan. There are four major areas in China:

The Jiangbei area

This refers to a large area north of the same river, where the temperature is usually 2-3 lower than that in the Jiangnan area. Green tea is the major variety ( ) there, but Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, which are also parts of this area, produce compressed tea.

The Southwest area

This area covers Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet, producing black, green and compressed teas. Pu’er tea of Yunnan Province enjoys a good sale in China and abroad.

The Lingnan area

This area includes the southern provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Taiwan. It produces Wulong tea, which is well known both at home and abroad.

Now the number of tea drinkers in the world is large and is still going up. The habits of tea drinking are different from country to country. In China, tea is often served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at home or in tea houses. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.

In England, the late afternoon is “tea time”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and sandwiches at tea time. In the USA, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals.
