Outside, a blinding snowstorm raged around the typical city row house into which my family had moved from the country only two months earlier. We hadn’t yet become acquainted with any of our new neighbors.I didn’t see thesnowflakes making frosty designs on my window, nor was I aware of my mother’s lonely vigil by my bedside. I was a little girl of five, deep in a feverish coma, and had the only case of the dreaded diphtheria in Philadelphia.Two weeks earlier, my illness had been diagnosed by the neighborhood’s family doctor, whose office was a well-worn room in the basement of his home at the corner of the block. Immediately, my father and older sister had been given shots of antitoxin and shipped off to relatives until the danger passed. My mother, refusing to trust her child to a strange hospital, in a strange city, stayed behind to nurse me at home.The city posted yellow warning signs on our front and back doors announcing acontagious disease. To make doubly sure no one other than the doctor approached, a policeman stood guard, twenty-four hours a day, outside each door. It was also their duty to see that my mother remained inside. Mail was laid on the doorstep, and the officer would tap on the door, then move back some distance to see that my mother opened the door only acrack and quickly took the mail inside.In those days, Christmas shopping didn’t begin in October, nor were toys given in the abundance popular today. A week or so before was time enough to prepare, and the tree was to be decorated by Santa Claus when he came on Christmas Eve. This year, in my family, it was different. With the suddenonset of diphtheria, no thought had been given to Christmas. My getting well was all that mattered.Late in the afternoon of December twenty-third, the policeman tapped on the door. There was a letter on the stoop from my mother’s sister. She was Catholic, and she’denclosed a small bag of medals with her letter. “I can’t be with you,” she wrote, “but I want to help. My priest has blessed these medals. The bag is never to be opened, just pin it on your little girl’s nightgown and believe.”My mother, willing to try anything, pinned the medals to my gown, but with little hope, as she looked down at my drawn cheeks and proceeded to apply cool compresses to my forehead. My eyes remained closed. During his visit, the doctor’s face was grave, and he only shook his head sadly before taking his leave.Late the next afternoon, my mother heard a faint call. Rushing into my room, she burst into tears of joy. The fever had broken and my eyes were open! Uncomprehending but overcome with gratitude, she fell to her knees and hugged me, but her relief was suddenly shattered when my first words were, “Mama, it’s Christmas Eve. What is Santa going to bring me?”“No, no!” she cried. “Honey, you’ve been sick a long time, but it isn’t Christmas Eve yet.” But try as she might, she could not persuade me to think otherwise, and I fell asleep that night with sugarplums dancing in my head.Downstairs, my mother was frantic. She told me years later how she even considered putting on some of my father’s clothing and trying to sneak out to the corner store to get me a few toys, but of course she didn’t. Come morning, all she could do was hope to convince me that Christmas was yet to arrive.Christmas morning came, and I awoke with the usual childish anticipation. My mother, exhausted with heartache, was still half-asleep when the policeman gave his familiar tap on the door. Wearily, my mother opened it, and then gasped in surprise. On the doorstep was a large country basket filled with a Christmas dinner for two and an assortment of toys for a five-year-old girl. My mother’s eyes silently questioned the policeman, but he only smiled and shrugged his shoulders. There was no answer there. Where had this spirit of Christmas come from? Would she ever know?I recovered fully, unaware that two miracles had occurred that Christmas. My father and sister returned, and we settled into life in the city. As the years passed, my mother made a lasting friendship with one neighbor in particular, a friendly Irish woman and busy mother of six. Although they were close friends for years, it was only much later that my mother finally discovered the secret of the second Christmas miracle. Her friend with the thick, Irish brogue and smiling eyes—at the time a complete stranger—was the one who had understood, as a mother, the awful predicament my mother faced and cared enough to leave that wonderful Christmas basket on our doorstep. Thanks to her, I still believe in Santa Claus! You just have to know where to look for him.（891words)  Gerrie Edwards  【词汇过关】请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。1.rage [reɪdʒ] vi._____________________________2.snowflake [ˈsnəʊˌfleɪk] n. _____________________________3.frosty [ˈfrɒstɪɡ] adj._____________________________4.vigil [ˈvɪdʒɪl] n._____________________________5.coma [[ˈkəʊmə] n._____________________________6.dreaded ['dredɪd] adj._____________________________7.diphtheria [dɪf'θɪəriə] _____________________________8.antitoxin [ˌæntɪˈtɒksɪn] n._____________________________9.contagious [kənˈteɪdʒəs] adj._____________________________10.onset [ˈɒnˌset] n._____________________________11.stoop [stuːp] n._____________________________12.priest [priːst]  n._____________________________13.drawn  [drɔːn] adj._____________________________14.proceed [prəˈsiːd] vi._____________________________15.compress [kəmˈpres] n._____________________________16.grave [ɡreɪv] adj._____________________________17.faint [feɪnt] adj._____________________________18.shatter [ˈʃætə] vt._____________________________19.sugarplum [ˈʃʊɡəˌplʌm] n._____________________________20.frantic [ˈfræntɪk] adj._____________________________21.sneak [sniːk] vi._____________________________22.gasp [ɡɑːsp] vi._____________________________23.assortment [əˈsɔːtmənt] n. _____________________________24.brogue [brəʊɡ] n._____________________________25.predicament [prɪˈdɪkəmənt] n._____________________________【句子学习】请根据中文句子填空。（一）动作描写1.________________________________ my room, she ________________________________.（心情描写）她冲进我的房间，喜极而泣。2.She even considered putting on some of my father’s clothing and trying to ________________the corner store to get me a few toys.她甚至考虑穿上我父亲的衣服，偷偷溜到街角的商店给我买一些玩具。3.My mother’s ________________________________ the policeman, but he only ________________________________________________.妈妈的目光无声地询问着警察，他只是笑着耸了耸肩。（二）情绪描写1.________________________________________________, she________________________________（动作描写）, but her relief was suddenly shattered.她不解却感激万分，跪倒在地抱住了我，但她的解脱突然被打破。2.Try as she might, she could not persuade me to think otherwise, and I fell asleep that night ________________sugarplums _______________________.尽她所能，她无法说服我不这么想，那天晚上我睡着了，糖梅还在我的脑海里跳动。3.Christmas morning came, and I awoke________________________________.圣诞节的早晨来了，我带着往常的幼稚期待醒来。（三）.环境描写1.________________________________________ the typical city row house into which my family had moved from the country.一场令人眼花缭乱的暴风雪肆虐着这座典型的城市排屋的周围，我家正是从乡下搬到了这里。2.________________________________________, my mother made a lasting friendship with one neighbor in particular.随着岁月的流逝，我母亲特别与一位邻居建立了持久的友谊。拓展练习读后续写阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。A five-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick, and that they had no money left. Only a very costly 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 with whispered desperation (绝望), “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her piggy bank from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully.Holding the valuable piggy bank tightly, she came to the local drugstore. She took all the coins from her bank and placed them on the glass counter.“And what do you want?” asked the pharmacist (药剂师). “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered back. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”“His name is Ming Ming and 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 miracles here, child. I’m sorry,” the pharmacist said, smiling sadly at the little girl.“I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”In the shop, a well-dressed customer asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” That well-dressed man was Dr Zhao, a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery.“I don’t know,” she replied with tears in her eyes. “He’s really sick and my daddy can’t pay for an operation, so I have brought my savings.”“How much do you have?” asked the man. “One yuan, but I can try and get some more,” she answered bitterly.“Well, what a coincidence (巧合),” smiled the man, “One yuan —— the exact price of a miracle for your little brother.”注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右。2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经给出。Paragraph 1:Dr Zhao took her money and then they headed for the girl’s home.Paragraph 2:The operation was completed successfully without charge.  心灵鸡汤精选答案【词汇过关】请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。1.rage [reɪdʒ] vi.肆虐；蔓延2.snowflake [ˈsnəʊˌfleɪk] n. 雪花；雪片3.frosty [ˈfrɒstɪɡ] adj.饰有霜状物的4.vigil [ˈvɪdʒɪl] n.守夜；值夜5.coma [[ˈkəʊmə] n.昏迷6.dreaded ['dredɪd] adj.令人畏惧的7.diphtheria [dɪf'θɪəriə] 白喉（传染病）8.antitoxin [ˌæntɪˈtɒksɪn] n.抗毒素；9.contagious [kənˈteɪdʒəs] adj.传染性的；10.onset [ˈɒnˌset] n.攻击；袭击；开始11.stoop [stuːp] n. 门廊；门阶;12.priest [priːst]  n.神父；牧师13.drawn  [drɔːn] adj.憔悴的；疲惫的14.proceed [prəˈsiːd] vi.从事；着手；前进15.compress [kəmˈpres] n.敷布；压布16.grave [ɡreɪv] adj.严肃的；17.faint [feɪnt] adj.微弱的；无力的；18.shatter [ˈʃætə] vt.打碎；使破碎19.sugarplum [ˈʃʊɡəˌplʌm] n.蜜饯李子，小糖果20.frantic [ˈfræntɪk] adj.心烦意乱的；忙乱的21.sneak [sniːk] vi.偷偷地走；潜行22.gasp [ɡɑːsp] vi.喘气；喘息23.assortment [əˈsɔːtmənt] n. 各种各样的事物24.brogue [brəʊɡ] n.土音25.predicament [prɪˈdɪkəmənt] n.尴尬处境；窘境；困境;【句子学习】请根据中文句子填空。（一）动作描写1.Rushing into my room, she burst into tears of joy.（心情描写）她冲进我的房间，喜极而泣。2.She even considered putting on some of my father’s clothing and trying to sneak out to the corner store to get me a few toys.她甚至考虑穿上我父亲的衣服，偷偷溜到街角的商店给我买一些玩具。3.My mother’s eyes silently questioned the policeman, but he only smiled and shrugged his shoulders.妈妈的目光无声地询问着警察，他只是笑着耸了耸肩。（二）情绪描写1.Uncomprehending but overcome with gratitude, she fell to her knees and hugged me（动作描写）, but her relief was suddenly shattered.她不解却感激万分，跪倒在地抱住了我，但她的解脱突然被打破。2.Try as she might, she could not persuade me to think otherwise, and I fell asleep that night with sugarplums dancing in my head.尽她所能，她无法说服我不这么想，那天晚上我睡着了，糖梅还在我的脑海里跳动。3.Christmas morning came, and I awoke with the usual childish anticipation.圣诞节的早晨来了，我带着往常的幼稚期待醒来。（三）.环境描写1.A blinding snowstorm raged around the typical city row house into which my family had moved from the country.一场令人眼花缭乱的暴风雪肆虐着这座典型的城市排屋的周围，我家正是从乡下搬到了这里。2.As the years passed, my mother made a lasting friendship with one neighbor in particular.随着岁月的流逝，我母亲特别与一位邻居建立了持久的友谊。拓展练习读后续写参考范文Paragraph 1Dr Zhao took her money and then they headed for the girl’s home. After introducing himself to the little girl’s parents, Dr Zhao headed directly to Ming Ming’s room, where a weak and pale little boy lay in a sea of medical tubes and oxygen pumps. Smiling gently towards the boy, Dr Zhao whispered, “Your sister bought you a miracle which would soon chase away the monster in your brain!” Shooting a grateful look at his sister and Dr Zhao, Ming Ming beamed. Two days later, the boy was transferred (转移) to Dr Zhao’s department where a 5-hour operation was conducted.Paragraph 2:The operation was completed successfully without charge. As their parents received the bill which read “Zero yuan for the operation”, they both shook their heads in pleasant disbelief and thanked Dr Zhao a million times. The girl also planted a sweet kiss on Dr Zhao’s sweaty face. The grateful and joyous family finally understood that a miracle was not something that could be bought with money, but occurred when kind, generous and loving strangers listened with care and helped out without asking for anything in return.
