It was over two months before Christmas when 9-year-old Mary told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her old Barbi bike was too old and it often needed repairing. As Christmas came nearer; her dream for a bike seemed to disappear; for she didn’t mention it again.

Then much to our surprise; on December 24th; she said that she really wanted a bike as the Christmas present more than anything else. We didn’t know what to do. It was too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing presents for our children; parents and also friends till midnight. So there was no time to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that we might in this way make our child unhappy on Christmas; we felt guilty and sad.

Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of the clay (泥土) and write a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one after Christmas?” So he spent the next 5 hours working on a small clay bike. On Christmas morning; we were very excited and waited for Mary to open the little box with the beautiful red and white bike and the note. She opened the box and read the note loudly. She looked at me and said; “So; does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?” Smiling; I said; “yes.”

Mary had tears in her eyes when she replied; “I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made for me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real one.” At that moment; we thought we would have moved the god to buy her every bike on earth.

下面是一篇关于个人爱好的文章。请仔细阅读,然后根据信息卡内容的要求填入相关信息。

I have many hobbies, such as reading, skating, playing tennis and watching TV. But reading is my favorite hobby.

I like reading for three reasons. First of all, books introduce me to a new world, which is colorful and without time and space limit. Through reading, I can go back to ancient Egypt. I can also go to the United States, a great land I have been longing to visit.

Secondly, reading can improve myself by showing me a new horizon(见识).In the past few years, I have got most of my knowledge from books. I have learned from many people by reading about their ideas on science, politics, life and society.

Thirdly, reading can bridge the gap(差距)between my dream and my goal. In order to succeed in my career(事业)in the future, I must keep reading, thinking and practicing. Reading has become a part of my life.

During the day, I spend some time reading books, newspapers and magazines. At night, I can hardly go to sleep without a novel in my hand.
