D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（共12分）
It was at least two months before Christmas when nine year old Almie Rose told her father and
me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle didn’t seem that strong, so we bought the most popular present for little girls, Baby Sitter’s Club dolls and a doll house.

all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last minute gifts, how could we have time to select the “right bike” for our little girl?
So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, ready for sleep in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.
“If I make a little bicycle out of clay（黏土）and write note that she could trade（用… 抵换）the clay model in for a real bike, what do you think?” her dad asked.
“Well, for now. I think this is the best thing we can do. And she is ‘such a big girl’. so I think she will like it.‘’
So Almie's dad spent the next four hours working with clay to make a tiny bike. On 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 in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one? Smiling, I said, “Yes.”
Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.
At that moment, we wanted to buy her every bicycle on the planet. 88. When did Almie first ask for a new bike?
89. What caused Almie’s parents to buy her the most popular present for light girls?
90. Why was it too late for Almie’s parents to buy a bike for her on December 23?
91. What kind of bike did Almie get on Christmas morning?
92. What did Almie think of the present in the little heart-shapped package?
