　　 I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them. One day, a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old. “There’s a　 36　 in my upper jaw,”she said. “I told my own dentist it's nothing, but he　 37　 I come to see you.”

Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would 　　38　 to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the 　　39　 of her mouth. A careful examination later 　40　 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.

　　 During her next appointment, I explained to her the 　41　 of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m just　 42 . ”

　　 I thought otherwise. After considerable　 43　 on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted to　 44　 me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon(外科医生). She saw him, but as I expected, 　　45　 treatment.

　　 About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and　 46　 .

　 “How are you?”I asked.

　 　　 I couldn’t believe my eyes. The cancer that had 　49　 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone-only one small area of redness 　　50　 .

　 　　 I had read of such things happening, but had 　　51　 seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting 　52　 to see. In fact, miracles are daily events for me now. And people are a miracle, 　53　 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to　 54　 the miracles of one another.

　 　　 Since my first miracle, I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.
