Life is full of beautiful moments. All you have to do is __46__ your eyes and your heart to see them.I saw __47__ just the other day. The local __48__ had just let out,and I found myself behind a school bus as I was driving home.
The bus __49__ by a house sitting on top of a hill. A little girl, no more than 7 years old,__50__ the bus and started running quickly to the __51__.The smile on her face was quite sweet. I __52__ up the hill to see where she was going. I saw her dad waiting for her. As she got __53__,her dad smiled and knelt down to __54__ her. He wrapped his powerful __55__ around her and gave her a huge hug,the moment she got to him.
My eyes __56__ a bit as I watched this scene. I __57__ all the times my own children had run into my arms with __58__ faces and loving hearts. Every single hug from them was a treasure of __59__ .Suddenly my trip down the memory lane was __60__ when I heard the car behind me honk its horn (鸣喇叭).I saw the school bus quickly pulling away,and started to __61__ it again. However,this time I did so with a fuller heart than ever before. I took that __62__ moment and stored it safely in my soul,where I knew it would remain forever.
One day,we all will leave this school of learning and love,and __63__ get to go home again.__64__ enjoy your day here at school then. Love and learn. But know that one day you will be going home to where the hugs are eternal (永久) and the __65__ never ends.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to 26 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 27 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too 28 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of 29 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there 30 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 32 her. I was 33 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread.Sometimes it 34 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt 35 . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen 36 , but it’s really there. Love is 37 .”
I listened carefully but I 38 her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly 39 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 40 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father 41 on the country road.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t 42 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” 43 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just 45 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
