D. Answer the question （根据短文内容回答下列问题）（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.
Then, out of our expectation, on December 23, Almie 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 las
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 “Well, for now. I think this is the best thing we can do. And she is ‘such a big girl’. so I think she

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?
93. What is the implied (隐含的) meaning of the underlined sentence?
