完形填空。
It was two days before Christmas, when my ten-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she
wanted a new bike. Her bike was too
1 , and it needed repairing as well.
As Christmas
2 , her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, we thought, for she didn't say it again.
We were busy
3 some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then to our surprise,
on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than
4 .
Now we didn't know
5 to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing
6 presents, parents' presents, a brother's present and friends' presents till midnight. So there was
7 time to take to buy the "right bike" for our little girl. Thinking we were parents who would make their child
unhappy, we felt sorry and
8 .
Suddenly my husband had an idea. "What about making a little bike with clay (mi) and writing a note that
she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully
9 with
clay to make a small bike.
10 Christmas morning, we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red
and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the
11 loudly. She looked at me and said, "So, does
this mean I can trade in this bike for a real
12 ?" Smiling, I said, "Yes!" Almie Rose had tears in her eyes
when she replied, "I would
13 trade in this beautiful bike
14 Daddy made me. I
15 keep it than get a real
bike. This is the best Christmas present I have ever got in my life!"
