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 with the money in her hand.
"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 miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?" "We don't sell a miracle here,child. Fm 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.
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. .

Much of what I have learned will be found in this book,because I believe that we,as a company,have something worth saying about how to r 3 a successful business without g 4 up what you really believe in.
It's not an o 5 business book. It is not just about my life,e 6 . The message is that to succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun,a business can be run with love and it can do well. In business,as in life,I n 7 to enjoy myself,to have a feeling of my family and to feel e 8 by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for "Body Shop" to f 9 the same way.
Now this book sends these ideas out into the world,and makes them public. I'd like to think there are no limits to our "family"，no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I h 10 you do,too.

"Wash every day and you'll die young,my son！”People often said those words,long ago of course. Napoleon's wife had new clothes every month,instead of a bath. " lt,s quicker," she always said. Rich people did not often have a bath. They washed their hands and faces,but not their bodies. Many poor people did not wash at all. A young man once said to a doctor, 4t Soap and water have never touched my body.”And the doctor answered, uThat's true. I know..."
Why didn't people wash in those days long ago?
Well,they did not have water in their house. They carried water from rivers or from holes in the ground. Town people bought it from a watercarrier. Sometimes it was expensive,and soap was always expensive,too. They drank water of course,and so they were clean inside. They did not think about the outside!And this is true,they just did not like a bath.
Modern life is different. We use a lot of soap and water. And we are all quite clean. However,a few people use too much soap,and they often get ill. Who are these people?
Many young women work as hairdressers. They wash and then "dress" other women's hair. That is their job,and they like it. Young hairdressers wash dirty heads on a busy day. Their hands are soapy for seven or eight hours,and that is not a good thing. A young hairdresser's hands are often red and ugly,and she must then go to a doctor.
( ) 6. Long ago,people .

We always celebrated Dad's birthday on Thanksgiving Day,even after he entered a nursing home. As years went on,these celebrations had double meanings to us―a traditional birthday party for Dad,thanking him for all that he had done for us in our lives. When we knew it might be his last birthday,the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home.
Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners. But at this special moment,I announced it was now Dad's turn to listen to stories for a change. I asked everyone to tell Dad why he loved him. The room became still. Then one after another,people told stories from their hearts,while Dad listened with tears in eyes. People brought kinds of stories back to our minds―stories about when they were little,stories about when Dad was young,and stories that shared family happiness.
The stories went on one after another. Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn't wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many people in his life,here was our chance to celebrate him. A few months later,at Dad's memorial service,we more fully realized what we had given Dad that night. Those are the stories people usually tell at a funeral (葬禮) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the words. They tell stories,full of tears. But we had given those memories to Dad in his life,and we had told them through laughter,accompanied (伴隨) by hugs and joys. He had them in his mind during his last days and months.
Words do matter,and they are enough. We just need to say them or to speak them publicly to the ones we love. That's the way to give back love and our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life.

Beauty meant something special to me for a time. I guess that was before I was six or seven years old. Later I was sent to an orphanage (孤兒院) and the life there turned me into an old man.
I would get up every morning at the orphanage,make my bed just like a little soldier and then I would get into one of the two straight lines for breakfast with other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.
One Saturday morning after breakfast,I saw the houseparent (宿舍管理員) chasing the beautiful butterflies that lived in the bushes around the orphanage.
I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful living things,one after another,and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins (大頭4十) through their head and wings,and put them on a board.
How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times into the bushes,all by myself;the butterflies could land on my head,face and hands...
When the telephone rang,the houseparent put the large board down on the ground and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the board and looked at the butterflies he caught just now. One of them was still moving about so I touched it carefully making one of the pins fall out. It started flying around and around trying to get away.
Soon the houseparent came back and started shouting at me. He picked up the board and started beating me on the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. I sat there by that big old tree for a long time. And I tried to get all the butterfly pieces back together,but it was too hard to do so.
Every year when the butterflies returned to the orphanage,I would always try to drive them away,because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.
( ) 6. When did the story happen?
A. On Saturday morning. B. On Saturday afternoon.
C. On Sunday morning. D. On Sunday afternoon.
( ) 7. The writer set the living butterfly free because .
A. it was interesting

C. the houseparent let him to do so
D. he wanted to make the houseparent angry
( ) 8. According to the passage,the writer's life in the orphanage was .
A. dull and unhappy B. simple and easy
