| In 2000, at the age of 56, Jeff was going to take a difficult and dangerous journey (旅行) in the Arctic (北极地区). He was planning to walk to the North Pole all by himself, pulling his food, tent (帐篷) and other things behind him in two sledges (雪橇). Because the Arctic is covered with ice and water, he would sometimes have to sit on his sledges and use them like a boat! Before he started his journey, to make himself stronger, Jeff spent 2 years practicing running and took part in many boat races. He had also traveled in the Arctic for 28 years. All of this was good for him. But there was still trouble. Jeff was seven days into his journey in the Arctic. It was dark and terribly cold (-35℃). In face of this terribly low temperature, he had made good progress across the ice. Suddenly, the ice broke and one of his sledges fell into the sea. Jeff needed to get it back, so he had to put his hand into the ice-covered water. Once he had got the sledge back, Jeff put up his tent, lit a fire and tried to warm up his cold hand. It was no help-his hand was seriously hurt as it had been in the cold for so long. He radioed for help, and an airplane was sent to save him. Finally, he arrived at a hospital in Canada. The doctors there said he hurt his left hand in the icy water. They saved his hand and advised him not to travel to the North Pole alone any more. But Jeff was an explorer and nobody could change his mind. It would be yet another long and difficult challenge for Jeff soon. | |||||||||||||||||

| One day the bathroom door had slammed on Timmy"s finger. The doctor asked if we had found the tip of Timmy"s finger. He said there was a small chance of 1 it if we could get it to him quickly. Pulling myself out of a daze, I ran back to the bathroom. 2 , it had already turned blue. I knew from the look on the doctor"s face that it was too late. I felt helpless, unable to take the pain away from my little boy. Then a(n) 3 came to me. I whispered in his ear, "Timmy, did you know that lizards grow their tails 4 and little boys can grow their fingers back too?" Timmy"s soft green eyes grew wide with 5 ,"They can?" he asked, obviously surprised by the thought,"And 6 ?" I told him, "Inside your head you have a little voice telling your finger how much you love it and how much you 7 it." I could see Timmy"s little face focused in deep concentration. Then I continued, "Now just say, grow for me finger, grow. I love you and I need you."A few days later, Timmy said to me quietly, "I"m talking to my finger every day, 8 it well." Weeks later, with a joyful burst of 9 , Timmy ran towards me. "See," he said, "It"s growing back really good!" A year later, Timmy"s finger grew back and became well again just as any finger 10 be. Timmy remains forever in my heart as a constant reminder of the 11 of miracles. He also inspires me to 12 beyond the accepted knowledge of the times, and to remember that all things are possible if you truly believe. | |||||||||||||||||
