肖老师阅读理解基 础 篇Student第 一 册Passage 1For most Chinese, it is not easy to say “I love you” even to our parents, no matter how much we love them. The Chinese prefer to put their love in heart rather than speak the words. Some of us may think it is not important to speak out their love. Only if our parents can feel our love and believe we love them, that is enough.Try to think about this question in another way. Do you want to hear your parents say they love you? If they say so, what will you feel? Wont you feel happy and very warm in heart? Sure you will. And your parents will feel the same if you tell them you love them. Parents never expect their children to do many things for them. They are so easy to be satisfied. Why not try to say “I love you” to them one day? Its not a really difficult thing. And you will see how surprised and happy they are!根据短文内容，选择可以完成句子的最佳答案。1. Its not easy for most Chinese to say “_”.A. Good morning B. Excuse me C. Hello D. I love you2.
