主旨大意：這篇短文中布魯斯想要一輛新的自行車，但是他的父母也不是很有錢。最后布魯斯通過做兼職工作，通過自己的勞動為自己買了一輛自行車，為此他很珍惜這兩自行車。
小題1:整篇文章都是在講Bruce攢錢買自行車所以選擇文章中心詞bicycle，自行車。
小題2:考察上下文。前句話講Bruce數錢，所以此處自然選擇money，金錢，資金。
小題3:考察介詞。由空格前面的the only one推出Bruce沒有單車用without，沒有。
小題4:考察特殊疑問詞。Bruce不知道能做什么，所以選擇what，什么。干擾選項是how，若要用how，則句子要變成how he could do it.
小題5:考察名詞的辨析。根據上下文，Bruce向別人詢問建議，所以是ask sb. for advice，向某人請求建議。
小題6:考察名詞的辨析。由文章后面提到的every day判斷Bruce 是工作了3個月，minute表示分鐘；second表示秒鐘
小題7:考察動詞。根據文章的復現原則，在第二段第一句話出現過He carefully counted the coins 得出這個地方也選擇counted這個動詞，數。
小題8:考察動詞。根據文章的邏輯關系，Bruce 攢夠了錢以后去店里買或者挑選單車，所以選擇choose. sell表示賣；drive表示駕駛
小題9:考察動詞。由本句的proudly一詞看出Bruce滿足的神情，所以是去朋友面前“展示和炫耀”選擇showing
小題10:考察固定搭配詞組， be proud of 為……感到驕傲。
