I believe in miracles 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 1 in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he 2 I come to see you.”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would 3 to add something,but she stopped him.She
wanted to tell everything hereslf.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the 4 of her mouth.A
careful examination later 5 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment,I explained to her the 6 of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers
and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just 7 .”
I thought otherwise.After considerable 8 on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to
9 me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected, 10
treatment.
About six months later she retarned to my office,still energetic and 11 .
“How are you?”I asked.
“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded 12 high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures
(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all,I answered 13 ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had 14 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone-only
one small area of redness 15 .
I had read of such things happening,but had 16 seen them with my own eyes.That was my first
miracle.
Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting 17 to see.In fact,miracles are daily
events for me now.And people are a miracle, 18 through them we have a chance to know ourselves
and to 19 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 20 we choose to find it. |

D. Therefore | | 阅读理解 | When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called "Brownie". My brothers and I
all loved Brownie and did different  things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her,
then there were baths, playing catch and many other games~ Brownie, in return, loved each and every
one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just
be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad"s shoes, which had to be
thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong.
When I looked at her and said, "Bad girl," she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw
a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would
stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she"d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovab le
dog. There were many times when we"d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on
her hair. She never barked (吠)or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened
people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone .
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with
us.

A. would eat anything when hungry

4. Some people got frightened by Brownie when she____
