One little miracle (奇跡) has been happening to me recently, and it gives me a special joy.

A few months ago, I was telling my daughter, Sally, some stories about my mother. My daughter was so young when my mother died that she doesn’t remember her well. I told her all I could remember, like how wonderful my mother was and how much she meant to me.

One day, Sally was sad because her grandmother was in heaven (天堂) and she couldn’t see her. I explained that though her grandmother was dead, now she was still watching over us and could send us something to let us know she was there. She could be anywhere, even riding invisibly (看不見地) on the back of a butterfly. Just after I said this, a butterfly flew down right by us, and we laughed happily.

Now many people would say it was just luck that the butterfly flew down at that time. A funny thing, however, has happened since then. Every time I go out in any type of weather I see butterflies. Very often they fly right by my face to get my attention. I always say hi to Mum, send her my love, and thank God for little miracles.

Everyone is always looking for some big miracles to come out and save them when they are in trouble, but they don’t notice the little miracles that happen every day right in front of their eyes. I know what they really are, however. For me little miracles are the best kind. So many little miracles happen around me all the time that I know they are not just luck.

1.When her grandmother died, Sally was .

A. at school B. quite young

C. in trouble D. not at home

2.One day Sally was sad because .

A. her mother told her a sad story

B. she argued with her grandmother

D. her grandmother sent her nothing special

3.What does the underlined word “they” refer to(指代)?

C. Grandparents. D. Little miracles.

4.Which can be the BEST title for this passage?

A. Butterflies and miracles

B. Sally’s grandmother

C. Miracles are nowhere

D. A funny thing happened to Sally

Charlie Chaplin was born in London on April 16, 1889. His parents were music hall actors. The Chaplin family was very poor, and life was difficult. Charles often wandered (流浪) the city streets to look for food and shelter. Charlie used to do his mother's job in the theatre when she was ill.

From the 1920s to the 1950s, Chaplin made his most famous films. The film Modern Times (1936) shows his care about the modern industry workers.

He is regarded as “The King of Comedy”.

It was the start of his summer holidays, and he decided to visit his friends at Las Vegas. Then he hoped to go fishing at Lake Mead.

Johnson’s troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car broke down and he tried to repair it, but he failed. He telephoned a workshop to ask it to send a tow truck (拖車) to pull the car away and repair it.

Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. Unwillingly, he started to walk back towards San Pedro, but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert.
