Many years ago, a salesman opened a bag of things from Scotland and found a card at the top. It 36   , “Expect a Miracle（奇迹）.” “What does that mean?” he thought, and then 37   it into his pocket.
That night he showed it to his wife. “Look at this, dear. What do you think it means?”
“Maybe this is what we need,” she said. “Our 38 are so great that they are too much for us. If we start   39   great things instead of the worst, miracle may 40 .” They decided to try changing their thinking for a few days, starting with their    41   problems. Then something changed. Not only did they find their problems    42   be worked out, but they also started   43 a lot of money.
To make miracles happen, you have to start by expecting them. That way your   44   can become focused in positive (积极的) ways. There are    45   coincidences（巧合）, and all kinds of happy experiences   46    one after another.
One becomes hopeful and optimistic(乐观的). Little problems began   47   , while the big ones become much easier to work out. Success is not    48   you thought it was.
A positive thinker first sets clear and proper goals(目标). Then he goes to work, and   49   working. He never gives up. His dreams are sure to come true, and    50    they do, a miracle happens.
Miracles come in all    51   : big, medium-sized, and small. Start expecting the small ones, and work your way   52    to the big. Think positively,   53     yourself and work hard. You’ll find yourself    54    by how meaningful and   55    your life has become.

Last year I was put into a lower-level math class at school. The reason I was in this class had
21   to do with my intelligence. I am blind. The school   22  that it would be better for me to learn at a lower level because it takes me a great deal longer to complete school tasks.
The only problem with being in this class was that I was   23  by "at-risk" students, who did not perform well in school and were   24   in trouble with the school and the law. On Monday mornings, the kids talked about what they had done during the past   25 . I tried not to listen, but it was almost   26  not to. I heard things in that classroom that shocked me.   27
the teacher was in the room, that didn't stop my classmates from   28  their stories of drugs and violence.
      29   I was tired of their rude words. I even began to   30  the fact that I had to be there. One Tuesday morning, I went to a Christian Student Union meeting before school, where a guest speaker talked to us about praying for our   31  no matter how much we hated them. I thought a lot and began to pray for the kids in my class, asking God to   32  them for they weren't bad kids; they were just   33 .
34   what I did was automatic. When I heard their voices in class, I would pray, "Dear God, please bless so-and-so . . ." But as I continued, something was growing   35   my heart for them. My classmates gradually became more than just annoying kids to me. They began to feel like family, and I was learning to love them in a way I   36  thought possible.
I now see that praying is such a   37   act. When I pray for those around me, it also   38
my life, and it changes my understanding of others. I realized God's blessings enabled me to see the world through   39  eyes. The prayers I said for others   40  to help me the most.

She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you 89 .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”
