Question

【題目】 Standing in front of the bike shop, Dave stared at the shiny red bicycle in the window. He could picture himself riding the bike in Saturday’s race and winning the first-place medal and prize money. “With that bike, I could even beat Adam,” Dave thought.

He rode on and stopped at Pecks clothing store. The coat he ________ to buy his mother for her birthday was still on sale. Dave knew she would never buy it for herself. She worked hard just to make ends meet. But the prize money would be enough for him to buy that coat and surprise her.

Dave looked at his old bike. Two years ago, he found some old bicycles at the junkyard and used the parts to make one bike. He called it his recycled bike. “I’ll never ________ the race on this old bike,” Dave sighed (嘆息).

As Dave passed the junkyard, he noticed a newer-looking bike tire. He started going through the huge junk pile. Finally, he found what he was looking for. “These two tires and the handgrips are just ________ for my bike.”

Arriving home, Dave put the used tires and the handgrips on his recycled bike, and oiled the chain. He stood back and admired the ________ he had made. “I might win that race after all,” he said to himself.

The next morning, when Dave and his mom got to the park, about thirty kids had already ________. Dave headed for the start line while mom found a seat at the finish line.

Bang! The riders rushed off. Dave concentrated on Adam, who was in the lead. He ________ to pass one rider after another and was approaching Adam. Leaning forward, Dave pedaled (蹬踏) harder and faster. ________ he sped by Adam and crossed the finish line.

As the announcer awarded Dave the medal and the check for fifty dollars, he asked, “What are you going to do with the prize money, Dave?”

“It’s a ________.” Dave said and waved to his mom.
