五、完形填空。
When I was about 12 years old，I really wanted a new bike! I 1 my parents my birthday wish，but I knew there was little hope because my family could 2 have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my 3 outside in the backyard. At once I 4 out to the yard. There was my bike， 5 it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink，old and worn with age. It was so 6! I thought I 7 my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment 8 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I 9 the old bike and rode it，feeling 10 that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile，rode as fast as I could and didn’t 11.
As time went by，I began to understand my parents gave me 12 much more than just a rusty(生锈的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about 13. When you give something out of love，it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I always remember this 14 because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember，a gift that 15 two dollars isn’t any less valuable(有价值的) than one that costs one hundred dollars，or even more.
