By Thanksgiving, she had collected only ＄49. I said, “You   2  have your pick from my bicycle   3  .” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old.” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind kid today would   4  choose.

As Christmas   5   near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she   6  a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot .“Can we give something. Daddy?” she asked. “Sorry, Em, I’m out of change.”

Then one day, she made a   8  announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people. ” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of ＄58 to a volunteer who was really very  9  .

  10  by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute   11  of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children.  12  I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow（发光）.
