2、 her desire for a bicycle seemed to die, or so we thought. We bought some lovely dolls, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise on December 23rd, she said that she “ really wanted a bike more than anything else”.It was just too late, with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying
3、 last minute gifts, to take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl. It was Christmas Eve around 9:00 pm. Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, lay comfortably in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if I make a little bic
4、ycle out of clay（黏土）and write a note that she could trade the clay model for a real bike” her dad asked. “This is an expensive item and she is such a big girl, it would be much better for her to pick it out.” So he spent the next four hours painstakingly （尽心地） working with clay to make a tiny bike O
5、n Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. “Does this mean that I trade this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” Beaming, I said, “Yes,” Almie had
6、 tears in her eyes when she replied “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. Id rather keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!21. In the end, Almies parents failed to buy her a new bicycle

9、lD. An Unforgettable Christmas EveBNowadays, people all over the world have various ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the-counter（非处方的）medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies（治疗）like herbal tea or chicken soup. However, here is the tough truth about the comm
10、on cold: nothing really cures it. Then why do people sometimes still believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, a professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so its easy to believe i
11、ts medicine rather than time that deserves to be praised, USA Today reported. To many of us, it still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something as common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you
12、 first need to know how antiviral（抗病毒的）drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw（拼图）, which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D mod
13、el to study its surface before they can develop an antiviral drug that is effective enough. The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus（鼻病毒）A and B. But they didnt find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them lead to the com
14、mon cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B dont work well when used against C. “This accounts for most of the previous failures of drug trials against Thinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily. Now, more than 10 y
15、ears after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses. With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we
16、may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that dont really work.24. What does the author think of popular remedies for curing a common cold? A. They are really quite effective.B. They are slightly helpful.C. They still need to be improved.D. They actually dont work.25. How do antiviral drugs work? A. By identifying the viruses and breaking them up
