    One day, my mother was sewing a quilt．I silently sat down beside her and looked at her．

    “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low  4

    My mother stopped her work and   5her head with surprise in her eyes．She didn’t answer immediately．Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt．

    I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her   11the 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, they both looked very pale．It seemed both of them had had a    12illness．

    After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road．My father had  13been so gentle．It seemed that they were the most harmonious couple．Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees．The sun gently glistened  14the leaves．All of these    15the most beautiful picture in the world．

    The doctor had said my father would recover   16two months．But after two months he still couldn’t walk    17．All of us were worried about him．

    “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day．

Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of things they do.

The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.

One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There is nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrugfor an answer.

Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

1.This passage gives us some advice on_______.
