根据短文内容回答下列问题

Bobby came from a poor family. He wanted to buy his mother a Christmas present, but he only had a dime(十分硬币). He walked from shop to shop and finally came to a flower shop. Bobby asked if he could buy just one flower for his mother as a Christmas present with a dime. The shop owner said, "You just wait here and I'll see what I can do for you."

The shop owner came out a little later with twelve beautiful roses, "That will be ten cents, young man. I just happen to have some roses on sale for ten cents a dozen(一打). Would you like them？"

Bobby took the long box from the man's hands and left the shop happily. As the shop owner returned inside, his wife asked, "Who were you talking to and where are the roses you took out？"

The man replied, "This morning while I was preparing to open the shop, I thought I heard a voice. It told me to put aside a dozen of my best roses for a special present and I did so. Then, just a few minutes ago, a little boy came into the shop and wanted to buy a flower for his mother with a dime. When I saw him, I remembered my experience many years ago. That time I was a poor boy with nothing to buy a Christmas present for my mother. A man that I didn't know stopped me on the street and told me that he wanted to give me ten dollars. When I saw that little boy tonight, I knew whose voice that was, and I put together a dozen of my best roses."

（1）、The story took place just before Christmas, didn't it？

（2）、Who did Bobby want to buy a present for？

（3）、How many flowers did Bobby want to buy at first？

（4）、How did Bobby feel when he left the flower shop？

（5）、What can we learn from the story？

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
    In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become more and more popular among people of all ages. Bicycles have long played an important part in the liyes of American young people. But today an even greater number of adults cycle along roadsides and bicycle paths. These new riders are often trying to become fit or lose weight. They have found that bicycling is a pleasant way to stay healthy.
    This is certainly good for health. But it has also brought some problems. With all these added people on the road, bicycle safety has become a matter of real importance.
    Bicycle safety is mostly a matter of common sense. People should ride only on bicycle paths where they will not be badly hurt. There are also a number of rules that riders should follow, especially when riding on streets or highways. Bicyclists should never ride against the traffic, nor should they carry other people on their bicycles. They are also supposed to ride in single line on busy streets and to "walk bicycles across the busy intersections (交叉路口) . By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also be safe.
    In one recent year, the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash helmets (头盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (伤者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down. Today, more and more riders realize the dangers of bicycling. They are wearing helmets and paying closer attention to cycling rules.

Tips for a trip to San Francisco

Hi, Li Ming,

I'm glad that you are coming to San Francisco next month, But I think there is still something I should let you and your friends know before you leave. First, bring a warm jacket and sweater so that you re prepared for changes in the temperature. Even in the summer months of July and August, it gets cold.

Second, many of the phone boxes at San Francisco Airport and in the centre of the city only accept prepaid (预付款的) phone cards. So a prepaid phone card is needed. I suggest you buy one at the airport.

Third, it's not easy to find a hotel room when you arrive. Hotels fill up quickly in San Francisco all year, especially in summer. You'd better book your room before you come.

One more thing, San Francisco is a great walking city— but there are hills! Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes if you're planning to go around on foot.

Lastly, there are many wonderful cultural activities in San Francisco all year round. Use the Internet 1o get the latest information about the activities all the time of your visit.

Wish you a pleasant trip.

Things you need to bring

Some {#blank#}1{#/blank#}clothes for cold weather

A pair of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} shoes for going around

Things you need to do

Buy a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}card at the airport

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} a hotel room before you leave

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the latest information about the cultural activities in San Francisco
