江苏省启东中学10-11年高一上学期第一次月考(英语) A couple of weeks ago,
my friend offered to sell some of our things for us. I thought it was a good
opportunity to 41 my 7-year-old son’s room and 42 some toys that were no longer suitable
for him to play with. We
43 that all the money
we got from selling the toys would be his money.
The night before the 44 , we loaded up the truck with toys and a
little bike that was too 45 for him. In the yard he 46 the bike for the last time and then
happily put it onto the truck. This little bike had at least two previous
owners as far as we 
47 . It wasn’t in the best 48 and was certainly not new, but the
tires were 49 good.
We put a price of $10 on it, but it didn’t
sell. So, after the sale was
50 , my friend put it on the
sidewalk, with a sign that 51 “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes her
doorbell rang. A little boy was
52 there. In poor English he asked whether the bike was 53 free. She said yes and that he could
have it for 54 . He smiled, got on the bike and rode
away.
Later that evening when I told my son how
much money he had made at the sale, he was very 55 , shouting happily. He asked about a few
of his things, wondering
56 they had been sold. When
he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him 57 . He was much happier than when
I told him how much he had
58 . He was so happy to 59 that someone else would make good 60
of that little bike!
