　　It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle．As Christmas drew near, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought．We bought the latest rages．Baby-Sitter’s Club dolls, and a doll house．Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else．”

　　It was just too late, what will all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts, to take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl．So here we were－Christmas Eve around 9∶00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nested snug in their beds．

　　Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child．“What if the bicycle out of clay(a kind of earth)and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked．“This is an expensive item and she is ‘such a big girl, ’ and it would be much better for her to pick it out．” So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike．

　　On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note．Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud．“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” Beaming, I said, “Yes．” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me．I’d rather keep this than get a real bike．” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy every bicycle on the planet!

(1)

Which is the right time order of the following events? a．The girl asked for a new bike． b．The girl opened the little heart-shaped package． c．The parents bought the girl a modern and popular doll． d．The father made the girl a bike with clay． e．The girl would rather keep the clay bike than get a real one．

C．	The girl never lost her desire for a bike．
D．	The parents paid little attention to the daughter’s desire for a bike．

(3)

Why did Dad make the clay bicycle?
[　　]
A．	Because he wanted to buy a real one, but he had no money．
B．	Because he didn’t want to disappoint his daughter．
