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. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle 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 (药店) with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew 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 a 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 have 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 little brothers.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.

Many things around us may affect our feelings and moods． such as colors， weather， rews and the environment． I believe that it is important to keep a good mood as much as possible in our life． As the saying goes， "Pleasure is health． "

（1）You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways
Maybe your listeners know what you are talking about， while others don' t． So speak to
them on their terms， in their language．

Let children learn to judge（判断） their own work． A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time． If he is corrected too much， he will stop talking． He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use． Little by little， he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．
In the same way， children learn to do all the other things without being taught﹣to walk， run， climb or ride a bicycle． They compare their performances with those of more skilled people， and slowly make the changes． But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself． We do it all for him． We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him， or correct it unless he was made to． Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher． Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it．
If it is a matter in math or science， give him the answer book． Let him correct his own papers．Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work？ Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer． Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn， how to measure（估量） their own understanding， how to know what they know or do not know．
Let them get on with this job in their ways． School teachers can offer help if they ask for it． Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world． Don't worry! If it is important， they will go out into the world and learn it．
