An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. She knew that his little brother was very ill and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation（昂貴的手術(shù)） could save（挽救）him now.

When she heard her father say to her mother, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and took her money and counted it carefully.

She ran to a drugstore (藥店) with the money in her hand.

“And what do you want?” asked the man. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really ill and I want to buy a miracle.” “say it again?” said the man.

“My brother Andrew has something wrong with his head and my father says only a miracle can save him. So how much is a miracle ?” “We don’t have a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the man said with a smile.

“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it is”

Another man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”

“I don’t know,” she answered .“He’s really sick and my mother says he needs an opera­tion. But my father has no money for it, so I 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, you are lucky,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11 of a miracle for little brothers.”

He held the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to your home. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Maybe I have the kind of miracle you need.”

That man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and Andrew got back home again soon.

閱讀填空 閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)文中信息完成文后表格。每個(gè)空格只能填一個(gè)單詞。

More than one-million school children in the United States have gone through a program called Reading Recovery(閱讀恢復(fù)). The program is for six-year-olds with difficulties in learning to read.

Reading Recovery came to the United States in 1984. Education expert(專家) Marie Clay of New Zealand developed the program. A number of other countries also use this method. Programs are quite different from school. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says more than 25% of the United States public schools with first grades use the program.

The Reading Recovery method requires a specially trained reading teacher to work with children one at a time. The lessons take a half hour each school day, including reading, writing and the study of the letters of the alphabet(字母表).

Reading Recovery lessons take place for twelve to twenty weeks. During the lessons, the teacher looks for ways that the child seems to learn best. Then the teacher works to help the students develop these methods to solve problems in reading. The idea is for the students to continue to use these methods each time they read.

Reading Recovery students read many short books. Some of the books are written in a way similar to spoken language. Children also read and write stories or messages in their own words. The material gets harder with time.

The lessons end when the students’ reading ability is within the average level(平均水平) of the class. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says eighty percent of the students who finish the lessons can read and write within their class average. The leader of this program says more than ninety-nine percent of the Reading Recovery students in the schools passed the state reading examination.
