13、Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my schooling.
One day, my mother was repairing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mom, 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. Then, she said, “Susan, look at this thread(线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.”
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, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other. But after two months my father still couldn’t walk by himself. I was so 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.
Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

14、阅读理解（20小题，每小题2分，共40分）
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel. My wife and I arrived on Saturday, 15thMay and stayed for a week. Though we were treated well and found the service excellent, we think there are one or two matters we should bring your attention.
1. We had hoped for a nice holiday from our busy work lives, and your advertisement said “comfortable and quiet”. We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. However, we were always waken up by the noise every morning. Is it really necessary for the workers to start their repair work so early?
2. We had hoped to swim in your “wonderful pool”. To our disappointment(失望), we found that it was closed for the whole time of our stay.
I hope you do not mind my writing to you about these things, but I would be happy if you could give me some explanation. As I said at the start, it is a pity, and your service is so good in other fields.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely
Mr Hector Bradley

15、In one ancient Chinese story, there is a magic deer. She has beautiful nine-colored fur. The deer is kind and helps people who are sick and poor. In fact, this nine-colored deer comes from a painting in the Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) in Dunhuang, Gansu.
The grottoes were created in AD 366. They hold the world’s best cave art. The clay figures (泥塑) and paintings on the wall are the Mogao Grotto’s greatest treasures. There are more than 2,000 colored clay figures in 492 caves. The tallest is 34.5 meters high while the smallest is only 2 cm, China Daily reported.
The most beautiful paintings are of dancing, flying fairies (飞天). They wear beautiful costumes. Among them, a fairy plays a pipa (琵琶) behind her back. This painting has given dancers in modern times lots of new ideas.
Besides the value of its art, the Mogao Grotto paintings also show how ancient people lived. Some show people farming, eating and fighting. Others show their wedding and funeral customs. In 1987 the Mogao Caves became a UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Site.
