When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I 1 my parents my birthday wish, but
I knew there was little hope because my family could 2 have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my 3 outside in the back yard. At once I 4 out to the
yard. There was my bike, 5 it wasn"t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn
with age. It was so 6 ! I thought I 7 my parents" feelings because I could see the disappointment 8 their
faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I 9 the old bike and rode it, feeling 10 that I had made my
parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn"t 11 ...
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me 12 much more than just a rusty (生锈的)
old bike. They gave me a life lesson about 13 . When you give something out of love, it doesn"t matter what
it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this 14 because giving a gift is not about
money. It"s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that 15 two dollars isn"t any less
valuable (有价值的) than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more. |

something terrible happens, we make it known to others soon. But can you imagine that a tree can talk and
share hews too? Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do. Strange as it may sound,
though, some trees do manage to communicate with each other.
Willow (柳树) trees are the best-known of these trees. When insects (昆虫) begin nibbling (叮咬) a
willow tree, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects
are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical (化学物质) in their leaves. This chemical is bad to the
insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees protect themselves
from the insects.
The next time when you take a walk in the woods, maybe the trees are "talking" to each other quietly. And
when someone says that trees cannot "talk", please tell them that even trees give messages to each other, too. | | 1. Willow trees send messages with _________. | A. words
B. movements
C. smells
D. sounds | | 2. The underlined word "lips" in the first paragraph means ________. | A. 树干
B. 嘴唇

B. tell stories to others

a. The willow tree gives out a smell.

homes. But in recent years, it has become more and more common for Americans to go to a hotel or
eating-place on the night of December 31st. There, they can eat a big dinner, drink champagne, and dance to
orchestra music.
Most New Year"s parties are usually noisy. People shout and sing. And often, guests blow on small
noisemakers when the new year arrives at midnight. This tradition of noise making is believed to start centuries
ago. People thought that loud sounds would drive away the bad spirits of the old year.
The biggest, noisiest New Year"s party in the US takes place in Times Square in New York. Thousands of
people gather (聚集) there. Some of them ring bells and set fireworks. Others blow whistles of car horns (喇叭). And at twelve o"clock, they begin to cheer as an electric sign in the shape of a red apple lights up on top
of a tall building.
The Times Square celebration includes another well-known American tradition. Since 1929, the band of
musician Guy Lombardo has given a concert on New Year"s Eve. Guy Lombardo died in 1977. But, Bill
Lombardo, has kept the tradition alive with a band concert at a New York city hotel. When the crowds in
Times Square start cheering the arrival of the new year, television cameras show the band playing the song
