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. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother , " Only a miracle can save him now ," the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore (藥店) with the money in her hand.
u And what do you want?" asked the salesman.
"It's for my little brother," the girl answered. "He's really,really sick and I want to buy a miracle."
"Pardon?" said the salesman.
"My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head,and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?"
"We don't sell a miracle here,child. I'm sorry," the salesman said with a smile.
"Listen,if it isn't enough,I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs."
A welldressed man heard it and asked, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"
"I don't know," she answered with her eyes full of tears. "He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it,so I have brought all my money."
"How much do you have?" asked the man. " $1. 11,but I can try and get some more," she answered.
"Well,what luck ," smiled the man. " $1. 11,the price of a miracle for little brothers."
He took up the girl's hand and said, "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need."
That welldressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong,a famous doctor. The operation was successful,and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again.

c When I was seven years old,my family made me an ant farm. First,we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm,they started to make tunnels (地道) .I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day,a tragedy (悲劇) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake,one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed,I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world,but it taught me much more.
Over the years,I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together,the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (欽佩) for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently:Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life,and must be accepted. Unlike the ants,we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone,we must build another.
Giving up,I say,is not a good choice.

A. The writer knocked the glass box over because he put his face so close to the glass farm.

A. All the tunnels fell down.
B. The ants died one by one.
C. The ants got into the glass box.
