I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them. One day, a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old. “There’s a 36 in my upper jaw,” she said. “I told my own dentist it's nothing, but he 37 I come to see you.”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would 38 to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the 39 of her mouth. A careful examination later 40 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment, I explained to her the 41 of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m just 42 . ”
I thought otherwise. After considerable 43 on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted to 44 me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon(外科医生). She saw him, but as I expected, 45 treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and 46 .
“How are you?” I asked.
“I’m just fine, honey,” she responded 47 high spirits. “When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all, I answered 48 , “Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes. The cancer that had 49 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness 50 .
I had read of such things happening, but had 51 seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting 52 to see. In fact, miracles are daily events for me now. And people are a miracle, 53 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to 54 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle, I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.

Handshaking, though a European way of greeting people, is now often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice36 in Europe.

I hadn’t really planned on taking a trip this time of year, and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. I knew in 36 that this trip was going to be unpleasant.
I’m talking about my annual Guilt Trip. I got tickers to fly there on WISH – I – HAD’ airlines. I 37 my baggage all the way, which was weighted down with a thousand 38 of ‘what might have been’. No one greeted me at the ‘Regret City’ International Airport.
As I 39 into the Last Resort Hotel, I noticed to miss that great 41 occasion.
Many leading citizens went there. First, there was the ‘Should – Have - Done’ family. 42 came the ‘I – Wish’ family. Of course, the ‘Opportunities’ family, ‘Missed and Lost’, surely made an 43 . They each had a dad story to share. ‘It’s – Their - Fault’ treated us with stories about 44 things had failed in his life, and each story was applauded by ‘Don’t – Blame - Me’ and ‘I – Couldn’t – Help – It.’
To make a long 45 short, I became very depressed at the party 46 .
But as I though about all the stories of failures 47 from the past, it occurred to me that all of this trip and ‘pity party’ could have been cancelled by ME!
I truly realized that I didn’t have to be there to be 48 . One thing kept going through my mind – I can’t change yesterday, but I 49 have the power to make today a wonderful day. Knowing this, I left ‘Regret City’ immediately. Am I sorry for 50 I’ve made in the past? YES! But there is no physical way to undo them.
So, if you’re planning a trip to ‘Regret City’, please cancel all your reservations now. 51 , take a trip to a placed called ‘Starting Again’, which I like so much that I’ve made it my 52 residence. My neighbors, the ‘I – Forgive - Myselfs’ and the ‘New - Starts’ are so very helpful.
By the way, you don’t have to carry 53 heavy baggage, because the load is lifted from your shoulders 54 arrival. Surely you’ll find this great town – it’s in your own heart. Look me up if you’re ready for a (n) 55 changer in your life. I live on ‘I – CAN – DO – IT ’ Street.
