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  (1) e        operation could save him now but there
was no one to lend them the money.
     When she  (2) h         her daddy saying to her tearful mother, "Only a miracle  (奇迹) can save him
now," the little girl went to her bedroom, took out her money and counted it (3) c         .
     She hurried to a drugstore (4) w       the money in her hand.
     "What do you want?" asked  the salesman. "It's for my  little brother," the girl answered. "He's really,
really  (5) s       and I want to buy a miracle." "Pardon? " said the salesman.
     "My brother Andrew has something bad (6)       g inside 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  (7) e       ,  I can  try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs."
     A well-kind man heard it and (8) a        , "What kind of miracle does your brother need?"
     "An operation!" she answered with her eyes full of  (9 t         . " But my daddy can't afford  it, so  I
have brought all my money."
     "How much do you have?" asked the man. "$1.11, but I will do my (10) b       to make more," she
answered.
     "Well, what a good piece of advice you have!" (11) s        the man. "$ 1.11,  the price of a miracle  
for your little brother."
     He  took up  the girl's hand and said, "Would you mind  taking me  to your house?  I want  to see
your brother and your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need."
     That well-dressed man was Carlton Armstrong, a  (12) f        businessman. The operation was
successful. And  it wasn't  long before Andrew was well again.

     Bill likes fish very much. He often buys fish in the shop and takes it home. But when his wife sees the
fish, she says to herself (她自己),"Good! Now I call ask my friends to have lunch, we can eat the fish. They
like fish very much."
     So when Bill comes home in the evening, the fish is not there, and his wife always says, Oh, your cat eats
it." And she gives Bill some bread for supper. Bill gets very angry. He takes his wife and the cat to the shop
near his house and weighs (称) the cat. Then he turns to his wife and says, "My fish weighs one kilo. This
cat weighs one kilo, too. My cat is here, you see. Then where is my fish?"
