III. 完形填空
An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left. When she heard her daddy say to her
____ mother with whispered desperation(绝望), “
____ a miracle(奇迹) can save him now”, the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She
____ all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she
____ her way six blocks to the local drugstore(药店).
“And what do you want?” asked the chemist.
“It’s
____ my little brother,” the girl answered back. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a
____ . His name is Andrew and he has something
____ growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.”
“We don’t
____ miracles here, child I’m sorry,” the chemist said, smiling
____ at the little girl.
In the shop was a
____ customer. He stooped (弯腰) down and asked the little girl, “What kind of miracle does your brother
____ ?”
“I don’t know,” she replied “He’s really sick and mommy says he needs
____ . But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my
____ .”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“One dollar and eleven cents,
____ I can try and get some more,” she answered quietly.
“Well, what a coincidence(巧合),” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents — the
____ price of a miracle for little brothers
____ me to where you live. I want to see your brother and
____ your parents.”
That well dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon(外科医生). The operation was completed without
____ and it wasn’t long before Andrew was
____ again and doing well.
The little girl was happy. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plus the
____ of a little child.
