Question

【題目】Answer the questions（根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題）

My name is Amy. Although I am a mother of three children who are in the middle school, I still remember some experiences (經(jīng)歷) about my childhood. Sometimes I talk with my children about them after supper. The following is one of my experiences.

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I told my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could hardly afford (負擔(dān)得起) it.

On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the back yard (院子). I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, but it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I felt so disappointed! I thought I hurt my parents’ feelings because I was sure they could see the disappointment on my face. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling bad that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.

As time went by, I began to understand that my parents gave me something much more than just a rusty (生銹的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson (感悟) about love. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Remember this: a gift that costs $2 isn’t any less valuable (有價值的) than one that costs $100.

I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling bad that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back. 我以為我傷害了父母的感情，因為我確信他們能看到我臉上失望的表情。我上了那輛舊自行車，騎著它，心里很難過，因為我讓父母有了這種感覺。所以我面帶微笑，騎得飛快，沒有回頭。由此可以推知，作者騎那輛舊自行車時面帶微笑是因為她不想傷害父母的感情，讓父母不高興，故答案為Because she didn’t want to hurt her parents’ feelings. /Because she didn’t want to make her parents unhappy.
