Question

(2018舟山改编)

1.

Owning a bicycle was a big deal to our children when they were little. They spent hours and hours on their bicycles, riding up and down the footpath. We also rode together as a family a lot. Bicycling was a great way to get the kids out of the house and into the fresh air without spending any money.

2.

He got a large piece of cardboard, painted a sign begging for the bicycle to be returned, and tied the sign to the letterbox.

3.

We were very touched(感动的)that someone had the heart to do this. We've never been able to thank the person but we suspect (猜想) that it may have been one of our wonderful neighbors.

4.

A delighted Bradley was able to buy a new bicycle. As the years went on, the bicycles became bigger and more expensive but remained just as important for those family bicycle rides. Now Bradley is 25. Sometimes I miss the days when receiving a bicycle was the best thing in the world to them.

5.

A.The following morning, when I went out to collect the mail, I found a white envelope with the magical words, “Buy yourself a new bicycle”. There was a $100 banknote inside.

B.Bradley had discovered that his bicycle had been stolen from our backyard when he and his sister went outside for a morning ride. He couldn't believe that someone would do this.

C.Bradley painted a big “Thank you!” on the sign and we left it outside for a couple of weeks afterwards, hoping the kind stranger would drive down our street.

D.All these years later we are still thankful for the stranger's kindness. We were a young family with three little children and it meant a lot to us. We still talk about it and, even now, wonder who the kind stranger was.

E.When our son Bradley was ten, the new bicycle he had received earlier that year was stolen. How bad a thing it was at that time!
