I believe in miracles 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
36 in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he
37 I come to see you.”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would
38 to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything hereslf.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the
39 of her mouth.A careful examination later
40 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment,I explained to her the
41 of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just
42 .”
I thought otherwise.After considerable
43 on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to
44 me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected,
45 treatment.
About six months later she retarned to my office,still energetic and
46 .
“How are you?”I asked.
“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded
47 high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all,I answered
48 ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had
49 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness
50 .
I had read of such things happening,but had
51 seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting
52 to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle,
53 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to
54 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is
55 we choose to find it.

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
序数词的概念:
表示顺序的数称为序数词。如:first, second, third, fourth。
序数词的构成与用法:
1、序数词的构成:
①一般来说,是由相应的基数词加词尾th构成。
例:four+th→fourth
six+th→sixth
seven+th→seventh
ten+th→tenth
②下面这些基数词在变为序数词时,有特殊的变化。
例:one→first
two→second
three→third
five→fifth
eight→eighth
nine→ninth
twelve→twelfth
③十位整数序数词的构成方法是将基数词的词y变成i,然后再加eth。
例:twenty→twentieth
thirty→thirtieth
forty→fortieth
ninety→ninetieth
④两位或两位以上的基数词变成序数词时,仅将个位数变成序数词。
例:twenty-one→twenty-first
thirty-five→thirty-fifth
a hundred and fifty-three→a hundred and fifty-third
2、序数词的用法:
①序数词在使用时,一般加上定冠词。

the fourth week.
②序数词在多数情况下都用作定语,有的也可以作表语、主语和宾语。

如:The boy bought dozens of pencils.
Thousands of people died in the earthquake.
注意: (A):dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million等表示确切数量时,不用复数。
如:five dozen (of) eggs 五打鸡蛋
hree hundred people 三百个人
分数词的构成和用法:
1)分数词构成法:
分数词(FractionalNumerals)由基数词和序数词构成,基数词代表分子,序数词代表分母。除了分子为1的情况下,序数词都要用复数形式:
如:1/4:one-fourth
5/9:five-ninths
2/3:two-thirds
17/5:three and two-fifths
7/12:seven-twelfths
379/8:forty-seven and three-eighths
此外还有下面表示法:
如:1/2:a(one) half
1/4:a(one) quarter
3/4:three-quarters
9/4:two and a quarter
3/2:one and half
