“Double 11 ” is coming. Many people say it's. Bachelor's Day (光棍节) because it's named after the    1    November 11th. For most young singles, it's such a special day that they usually    2    lots of shopping online to celebrate themselves. They are happy because they are free.
    Whenever the day comes, I think of my parents. I once doubted whether there was    3    between my parents. Every day they were busy trying to make money for my brother and me. They never act    4    the romantic ways that I read in books or see on TV. In their opinion,“I love you” is too    5    for them to say. Sending each other flowers on Valentine's Day is    6    more impossible.
     One day, mom was sewing (缝纫) a quilt. I silently sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there love between you and dad?” Mom stopped working and raised her head with    7    in her eyes. She never expected that I would ask her such a question. She didn't answer at once.
    I was worried because I thought I had hurt her and didn't know    8    to do. She thought for some time and said, “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then the love should be thread. It can hardly be seen    9    or anytime, but it's really    10    .Love is inside.”
    I couldn't understand her    11    the next spring, when Dad suddenly got sick seriously. Mom had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned, I read “love” in their hearts. After that, every day in the evening, mom    12    dad walk slowly on the country road. How    13    I was to see that!
    Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet    14   . But from this experience, I know life a lot    15   . Love is life. It is inside, making life strong and warm.

  It's always a happy moment when you get some pocket money. But have you ever thought about how to spend your pocket money wisely? Here is some advice.
Make a list. 
      When you get your pocket money，don't get too excited. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them? That's why it is necessary to make a list before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this，you will see if it is really necessary to buy it.
Help others. 
     How about being more selfless and using your pocket money to help others? We all know that there are many people in the world who are in need of our help. Helping others brings out the best in us and is one of the greatest joys in our lives. So consider using your pocket money to do something useful and helpful，and feel how you can make a difference.
Save as much as you can. 
    There is an old saying that “Money doesn't grow on trees. ” If you spend all your pocket money right away，you'll have no money until your next “pay day”. A wallet sometimes might not be the best place to save money because it may make it easier for you to spend your money. Get a piggy bank or ask your parents to start a savings account for you. Someday when you look back，you'll get a strong feeling of achievement by saving so much money by yourself!
