“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” you asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No   44  .”
“I bet they’re playing games and make friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our   45  started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche(處境)—until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, you saw my   46  . She just stared.
My heart   47  . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would   48   me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know why your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be   50  . I begged in my heart for her to   51  , but you just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered   52  .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is bunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was   53  . I looked into your eyes and her   54  touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to   55  myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind – hearted friend.

Another thing she learned was 27 to keep from wearing out(穿破)her clothes too fast.

Many years ago, a salesman opened a bag of things from Scotland and found a card at the top. It  36   , “Expect a Miracle（奇跡）.” “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 (積極的) ways. There are    45   coincidences（巧合）, and all kinds of happy experiences   46    one after another. 
One becomes hopeful and optimistic(樂觀的). 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(目標(biāo)). 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.
