As Christmas drew near, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought. We bought the latest rages. Baby-Sitters Club dolls, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.” It was just too late, what will all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts, to take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl. So here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nested snug in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if the bicycle out of clay（a kind of earth）and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked. “This is an expensive item and she is such a big girl, and it would be much better for her to pick it out.” So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. “Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” Beaming, I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. Id rather keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy every bicycle on the planet! 1. Which is the right time order of the following events ? a.

The parents wanted the girl to have the clay bike forever. B. Tears were in the girls eyes because she didnt like the present at all. C. The girl never lost her desire for a bike. D. The parents paid little attention to the daughters desire for a bike. 3. Why did Dad make the clay bicycle ? A. Because he wanted to buy a real one, but he had no money. B. Because he didnt want to disappoint his daughter. C. Because he thought his daughter would like it. D. Because he wanted to give his daughter a surprise. 4. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the text ? A. The parents were happy and encouraged. B. The parents felt comfortable and relaxed. C. The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl. D. The parents felt disappointed and sorry for the girl. 四. 短文改错： Ive really got to do something to lose weight because Im getting much too fat.
