完形填空
I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them. One day, a patient was referred to
me who was one hundred and two years old. "There's a__
1__in my upper jaw, "she said. "I told my
own dentist it's nothing, but he__
2__I come to see you."
Her eightyyearold son accompanied her. He would__
3__to add something, but she stopped him.
She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the __
4__of her
mouth. A careful examination later__
5__that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment, I explained to her the__
6__of the problem. She clasped my hand in
hers and said, "I know you're worried about me, but I'm just__
7__."
I thought otherwise. After considerable__
8__on my part, and kindness on her part because she
wanted to__
9__me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon. She saw him, but as I
expected,
10 treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and
11 .
"How are you?" I asked.
"I'm just fine, honey, " she responded
12 high spirits. "When can I get started on fixing my
dentures(假牙)?"
Surprised to see her at all, I answered
13 , "Let me take a look in your mouth and we'll see
about it."
I couldn't believe my eyes. The cancer that had
14 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was
gone-only one small area of redness
15 .
I had read of such things happening, but had
16 seen them with my own eyes. That was my first
miracle. Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting
17 to see. In fact, miracles
are daily events for me now. And people are a miracle,
18 through them we have a chance to know
ourselves and to
19 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle, I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is
2- we
choose to find it.
