五、阅读理解。
It was at least two months before New Year’s Day when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As New Year’s Day 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 31 December, she said that “I really want a bike more than anything else.” But it was just too late. Busy with our work all day, we did not have enough time to buy our little girl a bike. On New Year’s 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 the morning of New Year’s Day, 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 in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I’d rather 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.
