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 1 mother with whispered desperation（绝望）, “ 2 a miracle（奇迹） can save him now”, the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She 3 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she 4 her way six blocks to the local drugstore（药店）.

“And what do you want?” asked the chemist.

“It’s 5 my little brother,” the girl answered back. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a 6 . His name is Andrew and he has something 7 growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”

“We don’t 8 miracles here, child．I’m sorry,” the chemist said, smiling 9 at the little girl.

In the shop was a 10 customer. He stooped (弯腰) down and asked the little girl, “What kind of miracle does your brother 11 ?”

“I don’t know,” she replied．“He’s really sick and mommy says he needs 12 . But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my 13 .”

“How much do you have?” asked the man.

“One dollar and eleven cents, 14 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 15 price of a miracle for little brothers. 16 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 17 your parents.”

That well dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon（外科医生）. The operation was completed without 18 and it wasn’t long before Andrew was 19 again and doing well.

As De Witt Wallace lay in bed recovering from injuries that he unfortunately came by in World War I, he found there was a wealth of interesting information to read. Realizing few people would have the time to get through all this information, he knew exactly what to do. In 1920, this young American submitted a sample magazine containing shortened articles to publishers across America. However, all turned him down.

Undeterred, De Witt and his new bride Lila Bell Acheson published the first issue of Reader’s Digest in February 1922. Working from home, the Wallaces printed 5,000 copies, which were sold by mail to 1,500 people and priced at 25 cents. From these humble beginnings grew the world’s most widely–read magazine.

The magazine became popular and, by 1935, sales topped one million. In 1938, the first international edition was published in the United Kingdom. During World War Ⅱ, editions were published for the first time in Latin America and Sweden. After the war Reader’s Digest moved into Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland. In 1950, Reader’s Digest published its shortened Books (now known as Select Editions in Australia). In 1959, music, the first non–print product line, was introduced. In 1962, Reader’s Digest revolutionized direct mail by introducing easy–to–enter Sweepstakes and a year later the first Reader’s Digest general book was published. In 1986, video was added to the Reader’s Digest product line.

In 1973, the Wallaces gave up active management of Reader’s Digest. De Witt died in 1981, aged 91; Lila in 1984, aged 94. With no heirs(继承人) to the Wallace empire to take control, Reader’s Digest became a public company in the early 1990s and is now headed by a Chief Executive Office and Chairman of the Board.

What is the purpose of De Witt Wallace creating the earliest magazine?

A．To become wealthy. B．To offer people information.

C．To heal the wounds from the war. D. To turn down uninteresting stories.
