24、Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican (墨西哥的)fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.

Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat.

25、Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy making money for my schooling.

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I silently sat beside her.

“Mum, is there love between you and Dad?” I asked in a very low voice.

With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, “Susan, look at this thread (线). It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. It makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside.”

I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.

After two months, my father still couldn’t walk by himself.

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

“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said. “I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

27、Every year in early April, tens of thousands of people in China visit the tombs of their parents, grandparents and ancestors. It is Tomb Sweeping Day, the traditional Chinese festival to remember the dead.

Tomb sweeping Day falls on April 4 this year. On the day, Chinese families will sweep the tombs and clean away the grass around them. Then they burn paper money and put flowers and fruits in front of the tombs. They hope the dead can enjoy them and bring the family good luck.

Why are we so tired in winter? Some say it’s because of the cold weather, others say that the load of homework is too great.

It was foggy, and I don’t usually think foggy weather is nice. That day, h【3】, I tried to enjoy the view. All of a sudden I started to see the day differently. The sun was shining through the fog: It was beautiful. I was so enjoying what I could see and forgot my tiredness.
