    An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation(手术) could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.

    　　When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother， “Only a miracle(something couldn’t happen) can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.

    　　She hurried to a drugstore(药店)with the money in her hand.

    　　“And what do you want？” asked the salesman. “ It's for my little brother，” the girl answered. “He's really，really sick and I want to buy a miracle. ”

    　　"Pardon？”said the salesman.

    　　“My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？”“We don't sell a miracle here，child. I'm sorry，”the salesman said with a smile.

    　　“Listen，if it isn't enough，I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs. ”

    　　A well-dressed man heard it and asked， “What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”　　“I don't know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it， so I have brought all my money. ”

    　　“How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11， but I can try and get some more，” she answered.

    　　“Well, what luck，”smiled the man. “$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers. ”

    　　He took up the girl's hand and said， “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need. ”

    That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again.

    Betty is not a traditional American beauty. She is unfashionable, has thick red glasses, untidy hair and large metal braces (牙套) on her teeth. But this hasn’t stopped her from becoming one of American’s favorite TV characters. So how did she manage to do it?

    The answer is that charm can be more attractive than beauty. Betty is the main character in a TV show Ugly Betty. The show is about her life as an office worker at a fashion magazine in New York.

    　　The TV show has just started. Betty has many exciting experiences and romantic stories. Betty is often looked down on and laughed at by the people around. But she manages to do better than others with her hard work, charm and wisdom. The show tells us about how a girl goes from an ugly young duck into a beautiful swan.

    　　Though you may know the ending of the show from the beginning and the story is familiar to many of us, it has still been a big success in the USA. It has attracted a large number of viewers and won two Golden Globes awards, one of the highest honors for a television program in the USA.“ I think you can see a bit of Betty in all of us, and I mean men as well, because it’s about the underdog (弱者)”，says Ashley Jensen, who plays one of the characters on the show.

    　　The program is so successful because of the good performance of the 23-year-old actress America Ferrera who plays the role of Betty. She brings the character alive on the screen.

    1.Betty is popular because of ____.

    A. her clothes 　　　　　B. her charm 　　　   C. her metal braces  　　　D. her appearance

    2.In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “it” refers to (指的是) ____.

    3.Which is the reason for the success of the show?

    A. A large number of viewers. 　　　　　　B. Her life as an office worker.

    C. The wonderful performance. 　　　　　 D. Two Golden Globes awards.

    4.Which of the following is NOT true according of the show?

    A. Betty is a girl of wisdom.

    B. Betty acts as a beautiful swan on the show.

    C. Betty is an American favorite TV character.

    D. Betty is often looked down on by the people around.
