An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money for a very expensive operation.
When she heard her daddy say “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“What do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my brother, Andrew” the girl answered. “He has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I’ve brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to your house. I want to see your brother. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

Making a good conversation with a stranger can be difficult. Here are some ways to try if you don’t know what to do:
① Talk about a topic common to both of you. The topic can be the food or the weather. For example, “How do you like the food?” But keep it on the positive side!
② “What’s keeping you busy these days?” is a good question if you are talking to a person who doesn’t have an office job.
③ For example, if you ask, “Where are you from?”, an interesting follow-up question might be, “What would your life be like if you still lived there?”
④ Ask getting-to-know-you questions. You can ask, “What are your favorite newspapers and magazines? What websites do you often visit?”
⑤ React (作出反应) to what a person is saying. If you are trying to make the conversation interesting, but the person never reacts, you will feel unhappy. And if he offers some surprising information, react with surprise.

One day in 1924, five men who were camping in the Cascade Mountains saw a group of huge apelike creatures coming out of the woods. They hurried back to their wooden house and locked themselves inside. While they were in, the creatures threw rocks against the house. Several hours later these strange hairy giants went back into the woods.
After the men returned to the town and told the people about their adventure, . These were the people who remembered hearing tales about footprints of an animal that walked like a human being.
The five men, however, were not the first to have seen these creatures called Bigfoot. Long before their experience, the local Native Americans were certain that a group of apelike animals had been living in the neighboring mountain for centuries.
In 1958, some workers, who were building a road through the jungles of Northern California, often found huge footprints in the earth around their camp. Then in 1967, Roger Patterson, a man who was interested in finding Bigfoot, went into the same jungles with a friend. While riding, they were suddenly thrown off from their horses. Patterson saw a tall apelike animal standing not far away. He managed to take photos of the hairy creature before it disappeared in the jungles. When Patterson’s photos were shown to the public, not many people believed his story.
Richard Brown, an experienced hunter, discovered a similar creature. He saw the animal clearly through the telescopic lens (望远镜头) of his rifle (步枪). He said the creature looked more like a human being than an animal.
Later many other people also found deep footprints in the same area. In spite of regular reports of sightings and footprints, most experts still do not believe that Bigfoot really exists (存在).What did the five campers do when they saw a group of apelike creatures?

Which of the following can be put in ?
| A．however, only a few people accepted their story |
| B．all the people said they had seen the animal |
| C．some said they were making up their own story |
| D．only those who had killed the creature believed them |
. Who were the first to have seen these apelike creatures?
| A．Some workers. |
| B．Richard Brown. |
| C．The local Native Americans. |
| D．Roger Patterson and his friend. |
The word neighboring may mean .
| A．great | B．nearby |
| C．snowy | D．tall |
The BEST title for this passage would be “ ”.
