I believe in miracles because I’ve seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a  36  in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he  37  I come to see you.”

Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would  38  to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything hereslf.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the  39 of her mouth.A careful examination later  40  that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.

During her next appointment,I explained to her the  41  of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just  42 .”

I thought otherwise.After considerable  43  on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to  44  me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected,  45  treatment.

About six months later she retarned to my office,still energetic and  46 .

“How are you?”I asked.

“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded  47  high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”

Surprised to see her at all,I answered  48  ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had  49  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness  50 .

I had read of such things happening,but had  51  seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting  52  to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle, 53  through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to  54  the miracles of one another.

Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is  55 we choose to find it.

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”, My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One days, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong.

This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My  36    Tony,had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His  37  had no reason to be thankful to me either,because the year before, I had   38   their dear son with a pot of paste(浆糊) and some funny pictures. Instead of   39    them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year,   40  , I decided to let him  41   for himself.

  We went into a big shop,but Tony was very particular about   42   . Although I tried to show him toy after toy,he was not to be   43  . Then I saw he suddenly became  44  ; he had discovered something he really liked: a large tin dram. I was quite happy too   45     I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any    46    for weeks! I led Tony away   47  , saying that the dram was too expensive.

   Tony asked for permission to go off    48     and I made the most of my chance to sit down end    49    my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get   50    and got up to look for him. I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked    51    her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many   52

in grey suits. I was just going to call the police for help,when I saw a strange   53   dressed in strange orange clothes. He was wearing a false beard and had a caveman’s axe(斧子)in one hand,and a space gun in the other. It was, of course,Tony, who informed me  54    that he was the first   55   to fly into space.

D
I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route．He replied, "You mean fortunately．" He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided．
My attitude to the hill has now changed．I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following; This hill will exercise my heart and lungs．It will help me to lose weight and get fit．It will mean that I live longer．This hill is my friend．Finally as I wend my way up the incline I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free．I have a smug smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill．
Problems are there to be faced and overcome． We cannot achieve anything with an easy life, Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a University degree．  Her activism and writing proved inspirational．She wrote, " Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet．Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved．"
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity．From time to time, we all face hardships, problems, accidents, and difficulties．Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own．While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it．
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident．He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying experts in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to others during the war．He said, "Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that．That's nonsense．Make up your mind, you’11 never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything．Go to school, join in all the games you can．Go anywhere you want to．But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible．"
The biographies of great people are filled with examples of how they took kinds of steps to overcome the difficulties they faced．The common thread is that they did not become defeatist or depressed．They chose their attitude．They chose to be positive．They took on the challenge．They won．

A．he was actually killing two birds with a stone
