阅读快车系列答案Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you 36 .

I wanted to do something very 37 for my fifteen year old son, who has always been the perfect child. He 38 all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 39 it looked almost new. I was so 40 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.
I could 41 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to 42 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 43 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so 44 . It had been a long standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 45 lessons. “L earn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s 46 .
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 47 this expensive gift.
Of course, the 48 awoke, and my son was thrilled（激动的）with my reaction. Many kisses were 49 , and I immediately wanted him to 50 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 51 what I was expecting. Then I 52 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother 53 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 54 and lives even in the ever changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to 55 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a
new “used” already shiny motorcycle.
