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 left. When she heard her daddy say to her 31 mother with whispered desperation, " 32 a miracle can save him now", the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She 33 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she 34 her way six blocks to the local drugstore.

"And what do you want?" asked the chemist.

"It’s 35 my little brother," the girl answered back. "He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a 36 . His name is Andrew and he has something 37 growing inside his head and my daddy says a miracle can save him."

"We don’t 38 miracles here, child. I’m sorry," the chemist said, smiling 39 at the little girl.

In the shop was a 40 customer. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of miracle does your brother 41 ?"

"I don’t know," she replied. "He’s really sick and mommy says he needs 42 . But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my 43 ."

"How much do you have?" asked the man.

"One dollar and eleven cents, 44 I can try and get some more," she answered quietly.

"Well, what a coincidence（巧合）," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents — the 45 price of a miracle for little brothers. 46 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 47 your parents."

That man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon. The operation was completed without 48 and it wasn’t long 49 Andrew was home again and doing well.

The little girl was happy. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plus the 50 of a little child.

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be 1 for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it 2 .

Research is preliminary, but several studies 3 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

In an editorial 4 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define 5 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.

While health officials have issued guidelines 6 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated 7 .

"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send 8 signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the 9 start to shut down.

Even for people who 10 , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day — 11 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, 12 in a single bout.

That wasn't 13 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting 14 a computer. Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 15 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing.

"I'm sure there are some detrimental 16 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being 17 when I can helps," he said. "I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be 18 dangerous."

Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat 19 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.

Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.

Experts said more research is needed to 20 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.
