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 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 herself. I found a large cancer that spread over most 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 returned 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 all miracles, 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. |

举一反三
| 阅读理解。 | People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last
time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they
begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods
fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.
First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam"s bicycle is broken, and he
cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason
why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the
frame. He must make his problem more specific.
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions.
For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the
gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends
at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.
After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam
as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old
ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.
Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very
suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the
solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works
perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem. | | 1. By referring to Sam"s broken bicycle, the author intends to ______. | A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle
B. discuss the problems of his bicycle
C. tell us how to solve a problem
D. show us how to analyze a problem | | 2. Which of the following is NOT true? | A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.
B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.
C. People may learn from their past experience.
D. People can not solve some problems they meet. | | 3. As used in the last sentence, the phrase "in short" means ________. | A. in the short term
B. in detail
C. in a word
D. in the end | | 4. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except . | A. recognize and define the problem
B. look for information to make the problem clearer
C. have suggestions for a possible solution
D. find a solution by trial or mistake | | 完形填空。 | It was her laughing that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn"t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender (someone that does something wrong), I asked for the 1 . Frozen, she
refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet 2 between teacher and student.
When she finally 3 it over she whispered, "Okay, but I didn"t draw it."
It was a hand-drawn 4 of me, teeth blackened and the words "I"m stupid" coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind, 5 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 6 . I figured
I knew the two students who were most likely to draw the picture. It would do them some 7 to teach them
a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself 8 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told
them how 9 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason 10 and now was their chance to write
down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffled(抽鼻子) in the back of the
classroom.
As I 11 the notes later, many of them said something like, "I"ve got nothing against you," or "I"m sorry
you were hurt." A number of them said,"You give us too much homework." Some kids said,"We"re 12 of

strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of 15 my students, I had begun

my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was
in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours
passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work,
and he didn"t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, "Let me
wait, will you? Who do you think you are?"
At that time I didn"t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized
the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, "Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone!
Bad telephone!" And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, "Now hear this! All objects in this room-
if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!"
Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, "Honey, you just have to learn how to take control." With
that, she left the room.
After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something
in my mood (情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics
helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able
to listen to him and talk to him calmly. | | 1. Why did the author shout at the telephone? | A. He was mad at the telephone.

rickshaw (人力车) fare would be 40 rupees. Anyhow I had 150 rupees in my pocket. My wife said that if
the drivers of rickshaws see out-of-town travelers, they"ll scam (欺诈) them one way or another.
At a crowded stop, a young girl extended her hand through the iron bars on the side of our rickshaw to
ask for some money. After we refused, or rickshaw driver started his remarks on giving.
"Giving is good. Every human should give. But we should know how to give." The rickshaw driver
continued,"Most of these kids are trained by some guy who keeps all the money. It"s run like a business. All
of us should give, but this is just not the right place to give."
He talked a bit more before we arrived. I asked about the fare."39 rupees," he said.
Now, most people who get cheated end up saying,"Well, you know, I don"t mind paying extra if it is a
good guy but I refuse to be cheated." I gave him 40 rupees, and he gave me a 1 rupee coin in return (Most
folks would just round up). So I put the coin in my wallet, and took out a 100 rupee note.
"Can you do me a favor?""Of course, sir," he replied politely."We were talking about art of giving. You
seem to know how and where to give. Can you put the 100 rupees to good use somewhere?"
"Give me your address and I"ll make sure I get a receipt (收据) of where I gave," He replied without
hesitation. I didn"t understand him at first. Then I smiled and told him,"I trust you."
So on the way back, instead of taking a bus to my place, I walked for the whole distance since I didn"t
have enough money. It was almost 1 a.m and I had to wake up at 6 a.m the next day. But I still walked. | | 1. Why did the author"s wife tell him the rickshaw fare? | A. To remind him to go by rickshaw.
B. To warn him no to be cheated.
C. To tell him the convenience of taking a rickshaw.
D. To save some money for them. | | 2. Why did the rickshaw driver refuse when the young girl begged for money? | A. He knew money should not be given to her.
B. He had no spare money to give her.

D. He was afraid that he was attacked by her. | | 3. From the talk, we can learn that the rickshaw driver was _____. | A. well-educated

C. selfish
D. honest | | 4. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. | A. the author gave the driver 100 rupees for his kindness
