完形填空。 Tess was an eight-year-old girl when she heard her parents talking about her sick brother, Andrew. Only a 1 surgery could save him now and no one would 2 them the money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with 3 . 'Only a miracle can save him now.' Tess went to her bedroom and 4 a glass jar from the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it 5 . No chance here for mistakes. Placing the coins back in the jar, she 6 out of the back door and made her way 6 7 to Rexall's Drug Store. She waited 8 so long but the pharmacist was too busy at this moment. 'And what do you want?' the pharmacist asked in a(n) 9 tone of voice. 'I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen for ages,' he said. 'Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,' Tess answered. 'He's really, really sick and I want to buy a 10 .' 'I beg your pardon?' said the pharmacist. 'My brother has something bad growing 11 his head and only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?' 'Sorry, little girl. We don't sell miracles here.' he said, 12 a little. The pharmacist's brother 13 down and asked her 'What kind of a miracle does your brother need?' 'I don't know,' Tess replied with her eyes 14 up.

The operation was completed without charge and it wasn't long 18 Andrew was home again. 'That surgery,' Mom whispered, 'was a(n) 19 miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?' Tess smiled.
