【解析】主旨大意：这篇短文中布鲁斯想要一辆新的自行车，但是他的父母也不是很有钱。最后布鲁斯通过做兼职工作，通过自己的劳动为自己买了一辆自行车，为此他很珍惜这两自行车。

1.整篇文章都是在讲Bruce攒钱买自行车所以选择文章中心词bicycle，自行车。

2.考察上下文。前句话讲Bruce数钱，所以此处自然选择money，金钱，资金。

3.考察介词。由空格前面的the only one推出Bruce没有单车用without，没有。

4.考察特殊疑问词。Bruce不知道能做什么，所以选择what，什么。干扰选项是how，若要用how，则句子要变成how he could do it.

5.考察名词的辨析。根据上下文，Bruce向别人询问建议，所以是ask sb. for advice，向某人请求建议。

6.考察名词的辨析。由文章后面提到的every day判断Bruce 是工作了3个月，minute表示分钟；second表示秒钟

7.考察动词。根据文章的复现原则，在第二段第一句话出现过He carefully counted the coins 得出这个地方也选择counted这个动词，数。

8.考察动词。根据文章的逻辑关系，Bruce 攒够了钱以后去店里买或者挑选单车，所以选择choose. sell表示卖；drive表示驾驶

9.考察动词。由本句的proudly一词看出Bruce满足的神情，所以是去朋友面前“展示和炫耀”选择showing

10.考察固定搭配词组， be proud of 为……感到骄傲。
