Sometimes, I wonder whether there is any love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to money. They don’t act romantic the way couples do in books or on TV. They never say, “I love you.” It’s not their .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (縫被子). I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.
“What?” she asked, still working.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her a very low voice.
She stopped her work and her head. Then she bowed her head and went on sewing.
I thought I had hurt her. At last I heard my mother say: “Susan, look at this thread (線). Sometimes it , but most of the time it disappears in the quilt. It makes the quilt . If life is a quilt, then love should be a . It can hardly be seen anywhere, but it’s really there.”
I listened carefully but I didn’t understand her the next spring. My father suddenly got sick. My mother had to stay with him in the for a month.
After they got back, she helped my father walk slowly down the road every day. My father had never been so weak.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently.“I just like with your mom.“
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. Now, I know that love is the thread that holds a family together.

I had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall looked ordinary. In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or writing notes. One day I asked her aloud the text. When I heard her standard (標準)American English, I looked at her with new eyes. And I remembered her name—Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school to attend. I thought it over and filled in her name. Kelly practised for the competition. However, I was a little worried
she was always too quiet. Could she really well in the competition?
the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I told her to take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing. seemed that she was really nervous. I felt upset, but I just patted her on shoulder and let her go to draw lots (抽簽). As a result, she drew No. 9 while No. 8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches.
Sure enough, No. 8 was very .The whole audience made a warm applause.
While they about his speech with excitement, Kelly appeared on the stage. I with no courage to look at her. It was her time to go up the stage, so I couldn’t be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found I was so afraid of her failure(失敗).
The strong spotlight and large hall made so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless.
But the moment that surprised me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, “Now, please focus on me.”
Three times in all, louder and louder.
The whole audience fell silent.
I could hardly believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn’t catch attention at all. She gave a perfect speech.
I think I will never forget this touching lesson my student taught me — never underestimate(低估)the power of the silent people.

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description(描述) “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized(道歉)to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
1.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _______.
A. the manager asked him to do so
B. he respected the elderly
C. the couple wanted him to do so
D. he wanted more pay
2.When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became _______.
A. nervous B. satisfied
C. unhappy D. excited
3. In Jack’s hometown, _______.
A. people dislike being called “old”
B. people are proud of being old
C. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty
D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants
4.After this experience, Jack _______.
A. lost his job in the restaurant
B. made friends with the couple
C. no longer respected the elderly
D. changed his way with older people
5.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.
B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.
C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.
D. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.
