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 36 in my upper jaw,” she said. “I told my own dentist it's nothing, but he 37 I come to see you.” Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would 38 to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the 39 of her mouth. A careful examination later 40 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer. During her next appointment, I explained to her the 41 of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m just 42 . ” I thought otherwise. After considerable 43 on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted to 44 me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon(外科医生). She saw him, but as I expected, 45 treatment. About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and 46 . “How are you?” I asked. “I’m just fine, honey,” she responded 47 high spirits. “When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?” Surprised to see her at all, I answered 48 , “Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.” I couldn’t believe my eyes. The cancer that had 49 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness 50 . I had read of such things happening, but had 51 seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting 52 to see. In fact, miracles are daily s for me now. And people are a miracle, 53 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to 54 the miracles of one another. Since my first miracle, I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it. 小题1: A．cut B．pain C．wound D．cancer 小题2: A．declared B．suspected C．promised D．insisted 小题3: A．refuse B．continue C．attempt D．manage 小题4: A．roof B．corner C．bottom D．suce 小题5: A．confirmed B．convinced C．considered D．conducted 小题6: A．possibility B．importance C．seriousness D．resolution 小题7: A．old B．sick C．fine D．glad 小题8: A．permission B．support C．approval D．effort 小题9: A．persuade B．please C．encourage D．astonish 小题10: A．declined B．provided C．received D．required 小题11: A．healthy B．elegant C．optimistic D．humorous 小题12: A．to B．in C．with D．by 小题13: A．worriedly B．confusedly C．patiently D．confidently 小题14: A．covered B．reached C．spread D．grown 小题15: A．cured B．faded C．expanded D．remained 小题16: A．ever B．also C．never D．already 小题17: A．easier B．rarer C．happier D．closer 小题18: A．or B．so C．yet D．for 小题19: A．read B．make C．keep D．see 小题20: A．whatever B．wherever C．whoever D．whichever
