和其他称职的母亲一样,当凯伦知道她会再有一个孩子时,她尽她所能去帮助自己三岁的儿子,迈克尔,准备一个新的婴儿的出生.他们发现未出生的孩子是一个女孩,夜以继日的,迈克尔不停地唱歌给还在妈妈的肚子里的小婴儿听.
最后,他的小妹妹出生了.但是她病的很严重.医生告诉他们她存活的可能性很小.他们让这个小女孩住进了重症室.Karen非常难过.她想放弃这个小女孩.但是Michael仍不停的要求爸爸妈妈让他去看他的妹妹.他说:"我想给她唱歌听."最后Karen决定带Michael去看他小妹妹.那可能是他最后一次见他的妹妹.
Michael看了看他妹妹.过了一会,他就开始唱起歌来.用一个三岁的可爱的孩子的声音,迈克尔唱到:""你是我的太阳,我唯一的太阳,当天空是灰色的时候你也让我快乐."突然,小女孩似乎有些好转了,她的心在微弱跳着.
Karen眼里含着眼泪鼓励Michael接着唱歌."你永远不知道,亲爱的,我是多么爱你,请不要带走我的阳光."当迈克尔唱给他的妹妹歌听的时候,婴儿的呼吸(呼吸)变得顺畅了.
几天以后,小女孩病愈回家了.医生称之为奇迹.

点评 做题时,细读原文,捕捉相关信息词,掌握短文细节内容.这是解题的关键,还应特别注意以下几点:
1. 抓住四个"W"和一个"H",就是边读边用铅笔做些标记,把What (事件),When(时间),Where(地点),Why(原因),How(经过)划出来.抓住了四个"W"和一个"H",就抓住了文章的全貌,一些直接性的问题便可解决.
2.抓住连接词及起关键作用的副词、代词、介词、插入语等.因为这些词具有因果,让步,递进,转折,指代,列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能.这对考生分清文章层次,辨明各种关系,了解人物心理,推断作者意图,进行逻辑推理等手段来分析难点,都具有举足轻重的作用.
