As Christmas was nearer, her desire (愿望) for a bicycle seemed to fade (消退). We bought her a lovely doll, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that “I really want a bike more than anything else.” But it was just too late. With such a lot of preparations to do for the Christmas dinner, we did not have the time to buy our little girl a bike. On Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, were sleeping in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment (失望) of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could trade (交换) the clay bike for a real bike?” her dad asked. So he spent the next four hours making a small clay bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited to wait for Almie to open the little gift box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud (大声地). “Does this mean that I can trade this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears (眼泪) in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. Id rather (宁愿) keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth (竭尽全力) to buy her every bicycle in the world.( ) 4.

I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop (不停) between themselves. I watched them a moment and found the wife was doing all the talk. I admired (赞赏) the husband for putting up with her continuous (持续的) talk. Distracted (分心) by their noise, I moved on.I met with them many times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous talk, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter (柜台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white thing. He extended (展开) it into a long stick and then tapped (敲打) his way into the coatroom to get his wifes jacket.“Hes a brave man.” The salesman at the counter said, “Most of us would give up (放弃) if we were blind (瞎的) at such a young age. But he said his life wouldnt change during his recovery (恢复). So, as before, he and his wife come in when theres a new art show.”“But how does he enjoy the art?” I asked, “He cant see.”“Cant see? Youre wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something from the couple that day.

The large number of cars has started a new cultural revolution (革命), changing the life and society just like what happened in America 50 years ago. In Shanghai, more and more cars have appeared (出现) on the roads since 2002. At rush hour, it can take more than an hour for a taxi to ride from one side of Huangpu River Bridge to the other side. As the government has done a lot to make the traffic condition better, the number of cars on the roads is rising all the time. Private (私人的) cars have brought about a new class of society, who drive to their offices from large, modern houses in the suburbs (郊区). “I enjoy the drive,” said a big company manager of the 30-minute-trip to his office in the center of Shanghai. “I know that driving cars costs more money than travelling by bus,” he said. “But this way, I feel more comfortable and it is much faster.”The problems of owning cars(1) of having private carsThe (2) of cars is falling down.The government has built many new roads.Many Chinese people think it is enjoyable to have their own cars instead of bikes.Advantages of having carsPeo
