Many years ago, a salesman opened a bag of things from Scotland and found a card at the top. It read, “Expect a Miracle(奇迹).” “What does that mean?” he thought, and then 　36　 　it into his pocket.

That night he showed it to his wife. “Look at this, . What do you think it means?”

　　 “Maybe this is what we need,” she said. “Our 　　37　 are so great that they are too much for us. If we start 　38　 　great things instead of the worst, miracle may 　　39　 .” They decided to try changing their thinking for a few days, starting with their 　　40　 　problems. Then something changed. Not only did they find their problems 　　41　 　be worked out, but they also started 　42　 a lot of money.

　　 To make miracles happen, you have to start by expecting them. That way your ability can become focused in positive (积极的) ways. There are 　　43　 coincidences(巧合), and all kinds of happy experiences 　44　 　one after another.　

　　 One becomes hopeful and optimistic(乐观的). Little problems began 　45　 , while the big ones become much easier to work out. Success is not as far as you thought it was.

　　 A positive thinker first sets clear and proper goals. Then he goes to work, and 　46　 working. He never gives up. His dreams are sure to come true, and 　　47　 　they do, a miracle happens.

Miracles come in all 　　48　 : big, medium-sized, and small. Start expecting the small ones, and work your way up to the big. Think positively, 　49　　 　yourself and work hard. You’ll find yourself 　　50　 　by how meaningful and lively your life has become. k*s*5u
