5 . 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 nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought. We bought her a lovely doll, and a doll house. Then much to our surprise, on December 23^rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else”.

But it was just too late. With such a lot of preparations to do for the Christmas dinner we did not have the time to buy our little girl a bike. So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, sleeping in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could trade (交易，交换) the clay bike in for a real bike?” her dad asked. So he spent the next four hours making a tiny clay bike.

On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little gift box 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 can trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” 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 her every bicycle in the world!

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 gift box.
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 .

A．a-b-c-e-d

B．a-c-d-b-e

C．a-c-b-d-e

D．a-b-d-c-e

2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The parents wanted the girl to have the clay bike forever.

B．Tears were in the girl’s eyes because she didn’t like the present at all.

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.

C．Because he thought his daughter would like it.

D．Because he wanted to give his daughter a surprise.

4. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the text?

A．The parents were happy and encouraged.	B．The parents felt comfortable and relaxed.
C．The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl.	D．The parents felt disappointed and sorry for the girl.

6 . In our daily life, friends are needed. Everyone likes feeling close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.
No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will feel good.

Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons。 “To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered。 “It must be to the cleverest son。 But which one is the cleverest?”

He called his three sons to him。 “Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room。 Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune。”

“It is a big room,” said the eldest son。

“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son。

But the youngest son said nothing。 He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “let us go to the market。”

The eldest son bought straw with his coin。 But one coin bought only a bit of straw。 Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room。

The second son bought sand with his coin。 But one coin bought only a bit of sand。 Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor。

“What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngest son。 “You don't have any straw。”

“Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily。 “You don't have any sand。”

“I bought this,” said the youngest son。

“A candle！” cried his brothers。 “What good is a candle?”

“Watch”, said the youngest son。

He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor。 It was filled with light!

“Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said。

And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light。
