Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could do to help her 3-year-old son Michael prepare for it. She and her husband found out that the new baby was going to be a girl. Day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in his mom’s tummy(肚子).
Finally, Michael’s little sister was born. But she was in a very serious condition. The doctor told the parents there was very little hope. They kept the baby girl in the ICU(重症室). Karen was so sad. She decided to say goodbye to the baby. Michael, however, kept asking his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to sing to her,” he would say. Finally Karen decided to take Michael to his sister. This might be the last time he saw her alive.
Michael looked at his baby sister. After a moment, he began to sing. In the lovely voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray.” Suddenly the baby girl seemed to be better. Her heart beat well little by little.
“Keep on singing, Michael,” encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. “You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.” As Michael sang to his sister, the baby’s breath(呼吸) became smooth.
After a few days, the little girl was well enough to go home. The doctors called it a miracle(奇迹).
【小题1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

Students learn their lessons in class．In class teachers teach them．Students sit in the classroom listening to the teacher. This is a way of learning．Is this the only way for students to learn? Of course not．There is another way to learn．That is students can teach themselves．Every student can teach himself, and every student is teaching himself when he is learning something．For example，if you cannot remember something when you are doing your homework．what will you do? You can look at your book to find the answer．This is a way to teach yourself．And it is not a difficult way．We can do this at any place and at any time．
How to teach yourself？ The first thing you must do is reading．Read something you are interested in，not you have to read．The second is that you must ask yourself questions．The question is something you don’t understand，or you want to know more about．You can write down these questions．A clever student is usually good at asking questions．The third is to answer the question yourself by thinking hard，by reading the text or other books，and sometimes by asking other people．These are the ways of teaching yourself．And you must do these all by yourself．If you keep doing like these for a long time，you are sure to succeed in your study．
