Sometimes I doubt the love between my parents. They don't________in the romantic (浪漫的) ways that I read in books. In their opinion, "I love you" is too luxurious (奢侈的) for them to say. Sending flowers to each other is even more________. And my father is really a man________has a bad temper (脾气).

One day, while my mother was sewing (缝) a quilt, I asked her, “Is there love between you and Dad?” My mother stopped her________and raised her head with surprise. She looked at me________. I thought I had hurt her. After a while, she said, “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, ________most of it disappears in the quilt. It makes the quilt strong and warm. If life is a quilt, love________be a thread. It can________be seen anywhere or anytime. Love is inside.”

At that time I couldn't understand her until the next spring. My father suddenly got sick________. My mother had to spend a month looking after him in the hospital.________they were back, my mother helped him walk slowly on the country road every day. My father had never been so gentle (温柔点). The sun gently shone________the leaves. All of these________the most beautiful picture in the world.

The doctor said my father________well in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. We were________him. But he told me that he just liked walking with my mother. Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers and gifts. From this________, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. It makes life strong and warm.

It was raining hard and nearing dark. I was late for an appointment (预约) in a nearby city that I know only by GPS. And now my phone has died. The usual exits (出口) were closed. I didn't know how to get where I was going or how to let my appointment know I might not make it there.

I stopped at a KFC in a poor part of town and walked up to a mother and her teen daughter.

“I'm sorry, but is it possible for me to look up a number on your phone and then call the place and let them know I'm lost?” She handed me her phone and then told me I was lucky she had her phone, for it was getting ready to be turned off because she didn't have enough money to pay the phone bill.

The young girl and the mother didn't pay me much attention when I made a call. The appointment told me how to get there by another road.

Before I left. suddenly, I reached into my wallet where I don't usually have cash (现金) and pulled out all I had, a $20 bill. I gave it into the mother's hand and then turned to leave quickly. I heard her daughter calling after me, “Thanks, sir. You have no idea how you just helped us.” And yet, they really helped me.

A long time ago, there was an old man. He had two sons, Qing Shan and Hong Shan. The old man gave East Mountain to Qing Shan and West Mountain to Hong Shan.

There were many trees in West Mountain. Hong Shan worked hard all day to cut down trees for firewood. Five years later, there were not many trees in the mountain, so he started to plant crops (庄稼). Unluckily, a heavy rain washed away all the crops. He had nothing to eat and had to go to his brother in East Mountain.

There were only a few trees in East Mountain at first, but Qing Shan had a plan. He first cut down the trees with poor quality and then planted some trees. He planted crops and fed cows and horses, too. Five years later, there were many trees, crops, cows, sheep and horses in the mountain. The heavy rain couldn't wash away the crops because of the trees in the mountain.

Later people praised Qing Shan, saying, “As long as the green mountain are there, there is no need to worry about firewood.”

Do you often use plastic straws (吸管)? You probably use them to drink lots of things, such as cola or milk tea     61     They are made in 10 minutes, used in 20 minutes and remain on the earth for over 100 years since they can't be broken down (分解) easily.

But how do plastic straws get into the ocean? Through human mistakes, they are often thrown everywhere. The waste management in some areas is so poor. All gutters (排水沟) lead to our ocean       62     Once a turtle was found bleeding because a 12-centimeter-long plastic straw was pushed into its nose. How terrible!

    63     That is enough to circle nearly two-and-a-half times around our planet! If we didn't act now, there would be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.

Luckily, more and more people around the world have realized this problem. They begin to consider if they really need to use plastic straws when drinking drinks.

So what can we do to reduce (减少) plastic pollution?     64     For example, next time you go to a restaurant, make sure you order your drink without a straw. What if people need to use a straw? There are reusable straws that can be cleaned and reused instead.

Starbucks (星巴克) has started to offer straw less lids (盖子) and paper straws instead of plastic straws in almost 1,000 stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Starbucks is not alone.     65     It is hoped that more businesses and customers will play a part in protecting our environment.

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.

Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven cars have gotten a traffic ticket (罚单), but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.

These cars are now still in the testing stages (阶段). But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.

The cars are so special that they can take the place of drivers during certain situations. They are able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there is danger.

Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals (无线信号) , cameras and GPS, creating a safe self-driven car might be possible. The cause of deadly (致死的) road accidents is usually careless drivers or bad conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people don’t like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake does not believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.

Since COVID-19 outbreak (爆发), most people in Wuhan have avoided     76     (go) out to reduce the risk of being infected (感染). All     77     (health) people know it is very important not to go to hospitals in the city if it isn't necessary, because many infected patients are being treated there.

However, a large number of local       78     (volunteer) are doing this by driving doctors and nurses to work. As these doctors and nurses are treating patients     79     (care) every day, they are in close contact (接触) with patients. If things continue like this, the risk of being infected     80     (become) higher. But many people have taken part in the activity so far. They are called "ferrymen (摆渡人) of hope" by the local people.
