 Sally, only eight years old, heard Mommy and Daddy talking about her little brother, Georgie. He was very  31  and they had done what they could to save his life. Only a very  32 surgery (外科手术) could help him now but they had no money to  33 it. She heard Daddy whisper  34  , “Only  a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.”

Sally went to her bedroom and  35  her piggy-bank (存钱罐) from its hiding place. She  36 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she  37  out of her house and made her way to the corner  38   store.

“I want to buy a miracle to save my brother,” said Sally.

“We don’t sell miracles here. I can’t 39  you,” said the pharmacist (药剂师).

There was a well-dressed man who was in the store. He  40  and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”

“Sorry, I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. 41  my family can’t pay for it, so I have my money,” Sally answered, 42  coming down her cheek.

“How much do you have?” asked the man. “A dollar and eleven cents,” Sally answered, 43  . “Well, what a coincidence (巧合) ,” smiled the man. “A dollar and eleven cents is the exact price of a(n) 44  to save your little brother.” He took her money and said, “ 45  me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. ”

That man was a 46  surgeon (外科医生) , specializing in treating Georgie’s illness. The operation was completed without 47  and it wasn’t long until Georgie was home again and doing well. “That  48  ,”Sally’s mommy said, “is like a miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost.”

Sally smiled. She knew 49   how much a miracle cost … plus the 50  of a little child.

 Now came great news! It came from a neighboring state, where the family’s only surviving relative lived. It was Sally’s relative — a distant relative by the name of Tilbury Foster, seventy and single. Tilbury now wrote to Sally, saying he should shortly die, and should leave him thirty thousand dollars, cash; not for love, but because money had given him most of his troubles, and he wished to place it where there was good hope that it would continue its evil work. The bequest would be found in his will, and would be officially handed over provided that Sally should be able to prove to the executors (遗嘱执行人).

    As soon as Aleck had partially recovered from the strong emotions created by the letter, she sent someone to the relative’s home and subscribed for the local paper.

For the rest of the day Sally made confusion with his books, and Aleck could not keep her mind on her affairs, not even take up a flower-pot or book or a stick of wood without forgetting what she had intended to do with it. For both were dreaming.

“Thirty thousand dollars!”

All day long Aleck was absorbed in planning how to invest it, Sally in planning how to spend it.

There was no romance-reading that night. The children took themselves away early, for their parents were silent, disturbed, and strangely unentertaining. Two pencils had been busy during that hour — note-making; in the way of plans. It was Sally who broke the stillness at last. He said, with excitement, “Ah, it’ll be grand, Aleck! Out of the first thousand we’ll have a horse and a buggy for summer, and a cutter and a skin lap-robe for winter.”

    Aleck responded with decision and calmness.

    “You can spend a part of it. But the whole of the capital must be put right to work.

    “Why, yes. Yes, of course. Have you got it invested yet?”

    “No, there’s no hurry about that; I must look around first, and think, er…, I’ve turned it over twice; once in oil and once in wheat.”

    “Why, Aleck, it’s splendid! What does it amount to?”

    “I think — well, to be on the safe side, about a hundred and eighty thousand clear, though it will probably be more.”

    “My! Isn’t it wonderful? Good heaven! Luck has come our way at last, Aleck!”

    Then they went up to bed, but they left the candle burning in the sitting room. They did not remember until they were undressed; then Sally was for letting it burn; he said they could afford it, if it was a thousand. But Aleck went down and put it out.

    A good job, too; for on her way back she hit on a scheme that would turn the hundred and eighty thousand into half a million before it had had time to get cold. 

1. Why would Tilbury like to give all his money to Sally?

A. Because Sally was Tilbury’s only relative alive.

B. Because Tilbury loved Sally and his family deeply.

C. Because Tilbury wanted his money to continue its function.

D. Because Sally and his wife are good at investing.

2.The underlined word “bequest” in Paragraph1 probably means _________.

A. a gift of personal property                                         B. a proof of a person’s identity

C. a method of getting money                                        D. a reason for giving money

3.What do we know about Sally and his wife after receiving the letter?

A. They were in deep sorrow and stayed up all night.

B. They cared little about the bequest and lived their life as usual.

C. They paid a visit to Tilbury to confirm the truth of the letter.

D. They had a big ambition to invest the money and make huge profits.

4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Thrilling News                                                               B. Sally’s Distant Relative

C. The $30,000 Bequest                                                  D. A Smart Investment
