I returned to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, after graduation． I had been there before my mother became a minister． Two weeks later, I told my mother I was bored． She said, “Here’re the car keys． Go and buy some fruit．”_36_, I jumped into the car and speeded off．
Seeing me or rather my 37 , a boy sprang up, 38 to sell his bananas and peanuts． “Banana 300 naira． Peanut 200 naira!” Looking at his black-striped bananas, I 39 to 200 total for the fruit and nuts． He 40 and I handed him a 300 naira note． He didn’t have 41 , so I told him not to worry． He was 42 and smiled a row of perfect teeth．
When, two weeks later, I 43 this same boy, I was more aware of my position in Nigerian society． I should 44 this country as the son of a 45 ． But it was hard to find pleasure in a place where it was so 46 to see a little boy who should have been in school selling fruit．
“What’s up?” I asked． He answered in 47 English, “I…I no get money to buy book．” I took out two 500 naira notes． He looked around 48 before sticking his hand into the car 49 the bills． One thousand naira means a lot to a family that 50 only 15,000 each year．
The next morning, security officers told me, “In this place, when you give a little, people think you’re a fountain of opportunity．” 51 it’s right, but this happens everywhere in the world． I wondered if my little friend had actually used the money for 52 ． After six months’ work in northern Nigeria, I returned and saw him again standing on the road． “Are you in school now?” He nodded． A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I 53 what he wanted． I held out a 150 naira note． “Take this．” He shook his head fiercely and stepped back 54 hurt． “It’s a gift．” I said． Shaking his head again, he handed me a basket of bananas and peanuts． “I’ve been waiting to 55 these to you．”

People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 36 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without 37 ; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all of these methods 38 , the person with a problem has to start analyzing . There are six 39 in analysing a problem.
40 , the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 41 that there is a problem with his bicycle.

For example, suppose Sam 46 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 47 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After 48 the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 49 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one 50 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 51 idea comes quite 52 because the thinker suddenly sees something in a 53 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to a brake. He immediately hits on the solution to his problem: he must 54 the brake.
Finally the solution is 55 . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

One evening, Mary was 34 a meeting for adoptive parents. One of the 35 fathers stood up to introduce himself. But before he spoke, he reached into his coat pocket and held up a 36 , red paper rose.
“Twenty years ago today, I felt alone and 37 . I didn't know the talents inside me or what was possible for me.
Then Mary 38 two wonderful people into my life. They taught me what it was like to feel 39 . They not only loved me 40 . They opened a world of 41 that I didn't know existed. My new parents told me, ‘Reach for your dreams!’

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 . ”

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 to54 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.
