Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（被子）."Mom, I have a question to ask you." "What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dad?"
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. Love is inside."
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. After they were back from the hospital, my mother helped him walk slowly on the beautiful country road every morning. My father had never been so gentle. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him." Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day. "Susan, don't worry about me," he said gently. "To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. "Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
China Science and Technology Museum was opened to the public in September 1988. But the second project was completed in May, 2000. Its main task is to spread knowledge of science and technology among the public.
The activities of China Science and Technology Museum include popular science exhibitions, Astrovision film shows, training education programmes and experiment exhibition programmes. The museum has an area of 40，000 square metres, of which 16, 000 square metres is for exhibition halls.
The Astrovision Theatre is one of the museum's major attractions and also one of the largest Astrovision theatres in the world. It makes visitors feel they are in actual events rather than see a film. Many great science activities are often held at the museum, and the museum wants to be an important window to the world.
In Germany, there is a special museum. It is the only one of this kind in the world and few people know it. Every year，the number of people who come to visit the museum is only one thousand. What kind of museum is it?
It is a museum about taxes (税收).In this museum，you can see the history of taxes and all kinds of taxes in different countries in the world. After visiting the museum，people can draw a conclusion(得出结论).That is from 3000 B.C.(公元前)，the kings，dictators(独裁者)and finance ministers(财政部长)could tax people freely. They taxed people heavily because of such things as wars，weddings(婚礼)or road building. They needed money and they got money by taxing their citizens (公民).In the early times of Egypt，farmers had to pay heavy taxes if the water level(水面)of the River Nile rose. The kings said that if the water level rose，there would be much more earth in farmers' fields. So the farmers could get a good harvest and they should pay more taxes.
A strange kind of tax—Window Tax appeared(出现)in England. It lasted more than one hundred years. How? If there were more windows in the wall，the people must pay more taxes. So in those years, people built as few windows as possible in the wall.
Russian people once paid a tax for their beards (胡子).The people who had paid this tax would get a special piece of paper. But what about the people who didn't pay for their beards? Of course，their beards would be cut. But without a beard for a man is a way to scorn(蔑视)God. He would also be punished.
