    Some people 8 stem cell transplants to treat cancer. They must 9a donor with nearly the same genes(基因). It means the matched 10 must have the very similar gene. The possibility of the long-distance match between Jiang Yongfeng and the little boy is 11. It sounds like a 12miracle（奇迹）. “ The little boy receiving Jiang's donation is very 13, ” doctors said.

    I remember believing in Santa when I was a very young girl. However, as I grew older, I learned many 1 that “proved” his nonexistence. Always 2 by nature, I was determined to use 3 to decide whether Santa Claus was 4

    The first year of tests5 when I was 5. I decided that if I 6 all night on Christmas Eve, I could see if Santa really came down the chimney. 7,that was a useless 8. I fell asleep that year, and when I woke up, I saw a 9wrapped present under the10.

    At age 7, I came up with another test to see if Santa was real. That year, I didn't send out my Christmas letter to Santa because I wanted 11 for Christmas, but this turned into a plot. By then, I 12 knew Santa wasn't real, but I wanted enough 13 to support this. That year was 14, because on Christmas Eve, my mother dragged me to our local Wal-Mart and led me around the toy section. I 15 to say a word, but did let my eyes 16 on a ballet set. I 17 that “Santa” wouldn't know what I wanted because he shouldn't be able to read my 18. However, mother would know everything that caught my eyes in the store. If I got the ballet set the next morning, I would have my evidence. Christmas morning, there was the ballet set, sitting under the tree again. 19 I didn't use it much, mother ended up returning it a few days later. She 20 Santa was generous enough to leave a receipt. That was the end to my task to discover the existence of Santa.

    As my husband, Doug, stood on the busy New York city street to stop a taxi, I tried to protect my daughter from the cold December wind and rain. I put my head down to kiss her tiny face.

    1 and wet, my husband gave up his attempt to nag down a taxi. I knew the 2.Just after her first birthday, we were told our daughter Katie has a 3brain illness. Since that moment, Doung and I felt like runners in a marathon race where the finish line kept4 . We knew Katie was runn.ng out of 5.

Now, as we finally found a brilliant doctor to 8 our girl, we were in a strange9 in the cold rain.

    Just at the moment, a middle-aged woman pulled over and said, “Pardon me? May I offer you a(n)10?”

    Before we could say anything, she continued, “It's really no11for me. Just get in.”

    It was then that I noticed her thick Irish accent, which 12me up like hot soup. We simply said, “Thanks! Roosevelt Hospital, please,” as we got in her car for the ride.

    “Are you going13the baby?” she asked us.

    I nodded my head, holding back my 14.

    At the hospital, we 15her a dozen times for the ride. As the woman hugged me, I16her face was wet with tears. She promised to17for us before she left.

    After three more visits to New York and two more 18surgeries (手术)，Katie is cured. But the 19 of the Irish Angel still rang as a constant reminder of a tiny ray of light that appeared in our20 days.

    A woman couldn't find her wallet at Gilleece's bar. She didn't 1 about her $1500 in cash as her wedding ring was in side.

Gilleece 5a clip(片段)on the bar's Facebook page. "I didn't want to 6 him," he said." I just asked if anybody knew the guy was.

He 13 two local divers to search the waters.14, a detective was waiting there. A crowd had 15 to watch the two divers search in the icy water. Hours passed, with no 16 of the ring. And then a diver17, ring in hand. Cheers erupted from the crowd. When Gilleece called the wallet's owner, she burst into tears.

    It wasn't 18 for Gilleece. He'd been troubled about Prather sleeping in the cold woods, hungry. Gilleece took Prather into his home and helped him find a 19.

    "Most people would have thought I was a thief while he chose to help me, "Prather said." I feel 20every day."

His fans were amazed when they watched him paint by holding a brush in his 3 because he has lost the use of his hands.

    Drawing and painting always came 4 to Alex. When he was a kid, he would sit down to draw something almost every day. It continued 5 high school and college. He loved creating with his hands.

    But in 2004, Alex 6 a rare disease that caused sensory(知觉) loss and weakness. One day, he suddenly could not use his left hand. Then the problem 7 quickly to his right hand. As the pain and numbness 8 and more tests were done, the physicians 9 Alex had a rare immune disorder. 10, he was no longer able to draw, paint or play the piano. By September 2005, he had difficulty 11, as his legs and feet had also weakened. 12, he needed a wheelchair. He had to quit his job and move to live with his parents.

    Alex didn't follow his artistic dreams 13 his mother showed him some paintings created by artists who also could not use their hands and arms in 2015. He was very 14 and then began to teach himself to paint with his mouth and to 15 the right pressure to the canvas(画布).

    Three years ago, Alex successfully had a major transplant 16. The process of recovery is 17 but steady. With supporting aids on both legs, he is walking again without pain.

    A minister(牧师)was on a long flight. The first 1 of approaching problem came when the sign on the airplane 2 on: Fasten Your Seat Belts.

    As the minister looked 3 the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers became 4. Later, a voice over the intercom(内部通话系统) said "We are so sorry that we are unable to 5 the meal at this time. The currents are ahead of us." And then the storm broke. Lightning lit up the darkening skies, and 6 moments the great plane was tossed(使动来动去) around.

    The minister recalled, "As I looked around the plane, I could see the nearly all the 7 were scared. Then I suddenly saw a little girl. Obviously, the storm 8 nothing to her. She was reading a book on her seat and everything within her small world was 9. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again. Sometimes she straightened her legs, but worry and 10 were not in her world."

    The minister could 11 believe his eyes. It was not surprising, 12, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to13the plane, the minister came up to the girl whom he had 14 for such a long time. Having talked about the storm, he asked why she had not been afraid.

    The child replied, "That was because my 15 was the pilot, and he would take me home."

    There are many kinds of 16 that frightened us. Physical, mental, financial, domestic, and many other storms can easily and quickly 17 our sky and throw our plane into apparently uncontrollable movement. We have all known such times, and let us be honest and accept, it is much 18 to be at rest when our feet are on the ground than 19 we are being tossed about a darkened shy.

    Let us remember: Our father is the 20. He is in control and taking us home. Don't worry.
