Mr White works in an office. He liked reading in bed when he was at school. It was bad for his    1  and now he has near-sight(近视). But he wouldn't want  2to know about it and he never wears a pair of glasses. It often  3 him some trouble.

    One winter morning he was sent to a village school on business(出差). He  4a bus at a stop in a small town. Then he had to walk there. The road to the village wasn't smooth (平坦的). He fell over some times and it 5 his clothes dirty.  6 he got to the village. Suddenly it began to blow and it got colder. He was looking for the school while his 7  was blown off. He began to run after it but he couldn't get it. He couldn't understand why his hat ran into a house as if(似乎) it had  8 . And he ran into the house  9 .

    A woman stopped him and shouted  10  , "What are you running after my hen(母鸡) for?"

    Hello, my name is Zhang Dan. I live in 1 small village in Yunnan. The 2 here is great. It isn't too hot in summer. And it isn't too cold in winter , 3. It's always sunny. I 4 living here . The village is a 5  place, so many people come to 6 it every year. There is a 7 in my village and the water in it is very 8. And I often drink it.

    I'm walking in the village now. Look! A woman is taking a photo 9 a little girl. Two boys are reading books. Who is 10 in the square (广场)? Oh, it's Wang Fang. She dances well. The life here is very relaxing, isn't it?

    Like any other good mother, Karen did whatever she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael, get prepared for a new baby when she found out that another baby was on the way. They 1 that the new baby was going to be a girl, and day after night, Michael sang to his 2 in Mommy's tummy(肚子）.

    Finally, Michael's little sister was born. But she was in 3  condition. The baby was sent to St. Mary's Hospital. Days went by. The doctor told the parents “There is very little 4 . Be prepared for the worst.”

    Michael kept asking his parents to let 5 see his sister. “I want to sing to her,” he said. Two weeks passed. It looked as if the worst situation would come before the week was over. Michael kept asking about singing to his sister, but kids were 6  allowed in ICU. However, Karen made up her mind that she would take Michael to see his sister who was sick.

    She7  him in an oversized scrub suit(消毒服）and went into ICU. The head nurse shouted, “Get that kid out of here now! No children are allowed.” Karen said firmly,” He is not leaving 8  he sings to his sister!” Michael was sent 9  his sister's bed. He began to sing. In the sweet 10  of a three-year-old, Michael sang: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine; you make me happy when skies are gray...”11  the baby girl moved. The pulse rate(脉搏）became calm.

    Michael kept on 12 . “You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away...”The breathing became smooth.

    Michael kept on singing, “The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my 13 ...”Michael's little sister relaxed.

    Michael kept on singing, “you are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don't take my sunshine away.”

    The next day--the very next day--the little girl was 14  enough to go home!

    The doctors just thought it a miracle(奇迹）.Karen 15  it a miracle of love!
