When I was about 6, I really wanted a new bike! I told my parents my birthday wish but I knew there was little hope, for my family could hardly afford one.

On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the backyard. Immediately I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, but it was n’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I was so disappointed.

I thought I hurt my parents because I could see the disappointment on their faces when they noticed my expression. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling bad because I had made my parents feel that way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.

My parents gave me much more than just a rusty (生锈的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out o f love, it doesn’t matter what it actually is. What matters is the love in it. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money or something else. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs $2 isn’t necessarily any less valuable than one that costs $100 or even more.

A. He liked it very much.

22. According to the author, what is the most important about a gift?

A. How much it costs.

23. What can we know from the text?

A. The parents thought their son wouldn’t like the bike.

B. The parents bought other gifts besides the old bike.

C. The author will never forget his birthday bike.

D. A $100 gift is more valuable than a $2 one.

B

Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia, some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud burp after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a big burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please”.

In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.

What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.
