题目内容
Sally, only eight years old, heard Mommy and Daddy talking about her little brother, Georgie. He was very 31 and they had done what they could to save his life. Only a very 32 surgery (外科手术) could help him now but they had no money to 33 it. She heard Daddy whisper 34 , “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.”
Sally went to her bedroom and 35 her piggy-bank (存钱罐) from its hiding place. She 36 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she 37 out of her house and made her way to the corner 38 store.
“I want to buy a miracle to save my brother,” said Sally.
“We don’t sell miracles here. I can’t 39 you,” said the pharmacist (药剂师).
There was a well-dressed man who was in the store. He 40 and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“Sorry, I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. 41 my family can’t pay for it, so I have my money,” Sally answered, 42 coming down her cheek.
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “A dollar and eleven cents,” Sally answered, 43 . “Well, what a coincidence (巧合) ,” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents is the exact price of a(n) 44 to save your little brother.” He took her money and said, “ 45 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. ”
That man was a 46 surgeon (外科医生) , specializing in treating Georgie’s illness. The operation was completed without 47 and it wasn’t long until Georgie was home again and doing well. “That 48 ,”Sally’s mommy said, “is like a miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost.”
Sally smiled. She knew 49 how much a miracle cost … plus the 50 of a little child.

elicious snacks and desserts over a cup of freshly made coffee.
g too special so long as it is tasty and not too expensive. Julie likes all kinds of food but because she is on a diet she wants to avoid anything comtaining meat.
friend Ben for lunch today (Tuesday) and wants to take him to a nice restaurant. Both Robert and Ben enjoy good quality spicy food.Robert doesn't like arranging things in advance so he hasn't booked a table.Now came great news! It came from a neighboring state, where the family’s only surviving relative lived. It was Sally’s relative — a distant relative by the name of Tilbury Foster, seventy and single. Tilbury now wrote to Sally, saying he should shortly die, and should leave him thirty thousand dollars, cash; not for love, but because money had given him most of his troubles, and he wished to place it where there was good hope that it would continue its evil work. The bequest would be found in his will, and would be officially handed over provided that Sally should be able to prove to the executors (遗嘱执行人).
As soon as Aleck had partially recovered from the strong emotions created by the letter, she sent someone to the relative’s home and subscribed for the local paper.
For the rest of the day Sally made confusion with his books, and Aleck could not keep her mind on her affairs, not even take up a flower-pot or book or a stick of wood without forgetting what she had intended to do with it. For both were dreaming.
“Thirty thousand dollars!”
All day long Aleck was absorbed in planning how to invest it, Sally in planning how to spend it.
There was no romance-reading that night. The children took themselves away early, for their parents were silent, disturbed, and strangely unentertaining. Two pencils had been busy during that hour — note-making; in the way of plans. It was Sally who broke the stillness at last. He said, with excitement, “Ah, it’ll be grand, Aleck! Out of the first thousand we’ll have a horse and a buggy for summer, and a cutter and a skin lap-robe for winter.”
Aleck responded with decision and calmness.
“You can spend a part of it. But the whole of the capital must be put right to work.
“Why, yes. Yes, of course. Have you got it invested yet?”
“No, there’s no hurry about that; I must look around first, and think, er…, I’ve turned it over twice; once in oil and once in wheat.”
“Why, Aleck, it’s splendid! What does it amount to?”
“I think — well, to be on the safe side, about a hundred and eighty thousand clear, though it will probably be more.”
“My! Isn’t it wonderful? Good heaven! Luck has come our way at last, Aleck!”
Then they went up to bed, but they left the candle burning in the sitting room. They did not remember until they were undressed; then Sally was for letting it burn; he said they could afford it, if it was a thousand. But Aleck went down and put it out.
A good job, too; for on her way back she hit on a scheme that would turn the hundred and eighty thousand into half a million before it had had time to get cold.
