Brenda was a young woman who was invited to go rock climbing. 36 she was very scared，she went with her 37 to a cliff. She took hold of the rope and started 38 the face of that rock. She got to a place where she could take a breath. As she was 39 there，the safety  rope suddenly struck Brenda's eye and 40 out her contact lens（隐形镜片). Well, here she was, on a rock face，with hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet 41 her. She was desperate and began to get 42 , so she prayed to the Lord to help her to 43 it. When she got to the top，a friend 44 her eye and her clothing for the lens，but there was no contact lens to be found. She 45 across the mountains，thinking of that verse（诗句）that says, “The 46 of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth. ” She thought，“Lord，you can see all these mountains. You know every 47 and leaf，and you know 48 where my contact lens is. Please help me.” Finally，they 49 down the trail to the bottom. At the bottom there was a new party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out，“Hey，you guys! Anybody 50 a contact lens?” Well，that would be 51 enough，but you know 52 the climber saw it? An ant was moving 53 across the face of the rock，carrying it on it's back. Brenda told her father about the story of the 54 ，the prayer，and the contact lens. He then drew a picture of an ant carrying that contact lens with the words，“Lord，I don't know why you want me to do this. I can't eat it，and it's awfully 55 . But if this is what you want me to do，I'll carry it for you. ” 36. A. Although     B. As           C. Because          D. Except 37.
