(B)

　　Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.Every day they are very busy trying to earn money to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.They don't act in the__28__ways that I read in books or I see on TV.In their opinion，“I love you” is too__29__for them to say.Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of__30__.

　　One day，my mother was sewing a quilt.I sat down beside her.“Mom，is there__31__between you and Dad?”I asked her in a very low voice.She didn't answer immediately.She__32__her head and continued to sew the quilt.But at last I heard my mother say the following words：

　　“Susan，”she said thoughtfully，“Look at this thread.Sometimes it__33__，but most of it disappears 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 anywhere or anytime，but it's really there.Love is__34__.”

　　Once I thought love meant flowers，gifts and__35__.Now I understand that love is inside，making life strong and warm.
