1 . ①Mr Smith and his family went to Beijing last summer. They had a good time there. They visited many places of interest, such as the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven (天坛). Before they left for their country, the Smiths climbed the Great Wall. They took a lot of photos there. And then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they got into the car quickly. And after they returned to the hotel, they couldn’t find their bag. In it was their expensive camera. They were all sorry for losing it. They could buy another camera but had no time to go to the Great Wall again. They could not miss the plane!
②That evening they didn’t have dinner. Mr Smith hoped to make them happy, so he said, “Well, let me tell you a story. An old man lived in a sixty-story building. One day he fell down from it when he was cleaning the window. However, he didn’t hurt himself.”
③“It was a miracle (奇迹)!” called out his children. “Why?”
④Mr Smith said, “Because he lived on the first floor!”
⑤They all began to laugh when two policemen with a bag came in. They said a Chinese boy found it under a big tree and he asked them to find out who lost it.
⑥ “It’s really a miracle!” the Smiths said happily.
