I thought I 7 my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment 8 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I 9 the old bike and rode it, feeling 10 that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t 11 ? As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me 12 much more than just a rusty(生銹的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about 13 . When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this 14 because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that 15 two dollars isn’t any less valuable (有價值的) than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more. ( )1.
