I believe in miracles(奇迹)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 in my upper jaw，”she said．“I told my own dentist it"s nothing，but he I come to see you”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her．He would to add something，but she stopped him．She wanted to tell everything herself．I found a large cancer that spread over much of the of her mouth．A careful examination later that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer．
During her next appointment，I explained to her the of the problem. She clasped (紧握)my hand in hers and said，“I know you’re worried about me，but I’m just ．”
I thought otherwise．After considerable on my part，and kindness on her part because she wanted to me，she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon．She saw him，but as I expected， treatment．
About six months later she returned to my office，still energetic and ．
“How are you?” I asked．
“I’m just fine，honey，”she responded high spirits．“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all，I answered ，“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it. ”
I couldn’t believe my eyes．The cancer that had nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness ．
I had read of such things happening，but had seen them with my own eyes．That was my first miracle．Since then I"ve seen many others，because they keep getting to see．In fact，miracles are daily events for me now．And people are a miracle， through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to the miracles of one another．
Since my first miracle，I"ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is we choose to find it．

After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten you seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!
Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.
So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!
小题1:Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain?
| A．She missed her cousins very much. |
| B．Her aunt begged her to go there. |
| C．She could hardly afford any better trip. |
| D．Spain was her ideal destination. |
| A．flying to London immediately | B．heading for Spain from Jamaica |
| C．complaining to the authorities | D．enjoying a free beach holiday |
| A．A Lucky Mistake | B．A Terrible Adventure |
| C．A Nice Dream | D．A Well-Planned Trip |

The man thought to himself: “What a !” So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and began to it. But after he tried a few pieces, he screamed: “Oh, my God!” His eyes watered, his mouth burned, and his face turned . He coughed and choked and gasped for breath.
But despite his , he continued to stuff the fruits into his mouth! Onlookers their heads and laughed. One man yelled: “You’re , man! Those are chilies! People use them as a condiment (佐料). You don’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not fruit!” But the man replied: “No, I can’t ! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”

Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person— her name was Information Please and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anybody’s number.
My first personal experience with Information Please came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. I accidentally hit my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but there didn’t seem to be any reason in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy. I walked around the house sucking my hurting finger, finally arriving at the stairway—the telephone! Climbing up I unhooked the receiver and held it to my ear. “Information Please,” I said.
A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear, “Information.”
“I hurt my finger…” I cried. The tears came readily enough now that I had an audience. “Isn’t your mother home?” came the question. “Nobody’s home but me.” I sobbed. “Are you bleeding?” “No,” I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.” “Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could. “Then chip off a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.”
After that I called Information Please for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. And there was the time that Petey, our pet canary (金丝雀) died. I called Information Please and told her the sad story. She listened, and then said the usual things grown-ups say to comfort a child. But I was unconsoled. Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers, feet up on the bottom of a cage?
She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, “Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow I felt better.
Another day I was on the telephone. “Information Please.” “Information,” said the now familiar voice. “How do you spell fix?” I asked.
All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. Then when I was 9 years old, we moved to Boston. I missed my friend very much. Information Please belonged to that old wooden box in former home, and I somehow never thought of trying the tall, shiny new phone that sat on the hall table.
Yet as I grew into my teens, the memories of those childhood conversations never really left me; often in moments of doubt and sadness I would recall the sense of security I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have spent her time on a little boy.
A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle. I had about half an hour or so between planes, and I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown operator and said, “Information Please.”
Unexpectedly, I heard again the small, clear voice I knew so well, “Information.” I hadn’t planned this but I heard myself saying, “Could you tell me please how to spell fix?” There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, “I guess that your finger must have healed by now.”
I laughed, “So it’s really still you,” I said. “I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time.”
“I wonder,” she said, “if you know how much your calls meant to me. I never had any children, and I used to look forward to your calls.”
I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister.
“Please do; just ask of Sally.”
Just three months later I was back in Seattle…. A different voice answered Information and I asked for Sally.
“Are you a friend?” “Yes, a very old friend.” “Then I’m sorry to have to tell you. Sally has been working part-time the last few years because she was sick. She passed away five weeks ago.” But before I could hang up she said, “Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul?”
“Yes!”
“Well, Sally left a message for you. She wrote it down. Here it is. I’ll read it. “Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.”
I thanked her and hung up. I did know what Sally meant.
