Eric was standing in front of a large, gray house in the countryside. He had just been dropped off by his mum, who left after telling him that he was going to ?? the next twelve days there with no TV, no mobile phone and worst of all—no ???? .

Just then, a man appeared* at the gate of the house. When he saw Eric, he went up to him immediately*. "I'm ????? you are Eric. Welcome to Camp Reboot," said the man proudly. "I'm Tony, the camp leader*, but you will ????? me 'Sir'. Now you tell me ????? you're here."

Eric quickly replied, "My mum made me ?????? here!" When Tony looked angrily ????? him and did not say ???? , Eric realized his mistake and added, "Sir!"

?? "And do you know why your mother sent ??? here? Asked Tony.

?? "She thinks I spend too much time online—that I can't live without the Internet... Sir," answered Eric. "It's not just her opinion. It's the ????? ! Look at you—tired, unhealthy and certainly not getting ????? sleep. You're here because you think your world on the Internet is much ????? than the real world. But you're wrong! The real world has much more to offer. At Camp Reboot, you're going to go hiking, boating, rock-climbing and stay outdoors most of the? ????? ," said Tony.

?? Eric's heart broke.

?? "But it's not going be all fun and games." Tony continued. " We have rules here. ????? you break them, you'll never be sent home ????? ! Instead, you'll have to sweep the floor, wash the dishes or do an extra hour of exercise!"

? "Oh, my God!" cried Eric. "What have you got me into, Mum?"

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. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother，“Only a miracle （奇迹）can save him now，”the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore（药店）with the money in her hand. “And what do you want？” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother，” the girl answered. “He’s really，really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon？” said the salesman. “My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？” “We don’t sell a miracle here，child. I’m sorry，”the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen，if it isn’t enough，I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked，“What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”
“I don’t know，”she answered with her eyes full of tears(眼泪). “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it，so I have brought all my money.” “How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11，but I can try and get some more，” she answered.
“Well，what luck，”smiled the man. “$ 1.11，the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said， “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong，a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.
How much did the miracle cost？
