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 left. When she heard her daddy say to her 31 mother with whispered desperation, " 32 a miracle can save him now", the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank. She 33 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she 34 her way six blocks to the local drugstore.
"And what do you want?" asked the chemist.
"It’s 35 my little brother," the girl answered back. "He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a 36 . His name is Andrew and he has something 37 growing inside his head and my daddy says a miracle can save him."
"We don’t 38 miracles here, child. I’m sorry," the chemist said, smiling 39 at the little girl.
In the shop was a 40 customer. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of miracle does your brother 41 ?"
"I don’t know," she replied. "He’s really sick and mommy says he needs 42 . But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my 43 ."
"How much do you have?" asked the man.
"One dollar and eleven cents, 44 I can try and get some more," she answered quietly.
"Well, what a coincidence（巧合）," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents — the 45 price of a miracle for little brothers. 46 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 47 your parents."
That man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon. The operation was completed without 48 and it wasn’t long 49 Andrew was home again and doing well.
The little girl was happy. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plus the 50 of a little child.

Twenty-five years later another group of graduate students was 37 the job of testing the 38 . They went back to the same area. Some of the boys— 39 men—were still there，a few had died，some had moved away， 40 they got in touch with 180 of the 41 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.

Just how popular was Mini? Very. Every year, her classmates voted her 31 the favourite student. She was so easy to 32 along with that the number of friends she had by far outnumbered (压倒)those of anyone else in her group.
One day the 10-year-old was 33 talking in the class and ordered to stay back as 34 . Staying back 35 doing something “useful”, like helping in the garden or library after school.
Now the school in which Mini 36 had a rule of sorts. Once a month, you could interchange your punishment schedule with someone else. If you 37 something else to do the day you were punished, you could 38 a friend to stand in for you. Of course, you had to return the favour, but in that same month itself. Otherwise the favour cancelled itself out. So the students who stayed back for others and wanted the favour repaid, found ways to be punished that very month. 39 it happened, on that day a very dear aunt was visiting Mini on her way back to America. That afternoon was the only 40 Mini had of seeing her for another five years. Mini needed someone to stand in for her. That was a problem though it was the last day of the month. So anyone who helped her, would do so out of friendship's sake alone. She sought out Preeti, her “best'”friend. "Oh no Mini, I can't," Preeti said. "I have to coach my brother for his nursery entrance test. The kid just can't seem to get into any decent （体面的）school." And she spent a good 41 of time telling Mini of her brother's problems.
"Mohit, 42 you stay back for me?" Mini asked another friend who was dribbling a ball（运球） in the playground. She knew he often just hung around after school. "To help the librarian? I 43 you'd told me earlier. I have to go to a relative's house with my father. Some other day perhaps," and 44 that Mohit fled.
By now, Mini was beginning to 45 if even one of her friends would 46 to stay. But she tried again. Three 47 friends and each one refused. Of course, no one said "no" outright. Mini was a great pal, after all. But each had a “reason”why they couldn't take her place that afternoon, and if only it were some other day...
So, after school Mini stayed back to help the 48 , Ms Mathur. And, when the remote Ms Mathur found her crying after everyone had left, it was she 49 surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt. "Some popularity I have," Mini murmured（嘟囔） to herself, as she went home. "I may have many friends, but in reality I have 50 ."

In this dance eight people work 42 a team, called a 43, to successfully complete a set of complex dance figures that are delivered by a caller, who calls out the movements. Four couples stand 44 the center of the square, each couple standing on one side of the square, the boy on the left and the girl on the 45.
