Question

One little miracle (奇跡) has been happening to me recently, and it gives me a special joy.

A few months ago, I was my daughter, Sally, some stories about my mother. My daughter was so young when my mother died that she doesn’t remember her well. I told her all I could remember, like how wonderful my mother was and how much she meant to me.

One day, Sally was sad because her grandmother was in heaven (天堂) and she couldn’t see her. I explained that though her grandmother was dead, now she was still watching over us and could send us something to let us know she was there. She could be anywhere, even riding invisibly (看不見地) on the back of a butterfly (蝴蝶). Just after I said this, a butterfly flew down right by us, and we laughed happily.

Now many people would say it was just luck that the butterfly flew down at that time. A funny thing, however, has happened since then. Every time I go out in any type of weather I see butterflies. Very often they fly right by my face to get my attention. I always say hi to Mom, send her my love, and thank God for little miracles.

Everyone is always looking some big miracles to come out and save them when they are in trouble, but they don’t notice the little miracles that happen every day right in front of their eyes. I know what they really are, however. For me little miracles are the best kind. So many little miracles happen around me all the time that I know they are not just luck.

【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：這篇短文中作則主要講述了發生在自己身邊的一個小奇跡，以此來告訴我們要注意身邊時刻發生著的小奇跡。

1.①根據本句時間狀語A few months ago, 可知此處表示的過去正在進行的動作，故填現在分詞telling /，講述。②結合語境可知此處指的是每個人都總是想找到一些奇跡。短語look for尋找，故介詞for，為了，對于。

2.結合語境可知我的母親去世時，我的女兒還不夠大，不能很好的記住她。故填old enough to，足夠大做某事。

3.本句中that引導的定語從句作定語修飾名詞miracles。故譯為：他們沒有注意到每天發生在他們眼前的這些小奇跡。

4.根據Just after I said this, a butterfly flew down right by us, and we laughed happily.描述，可知一只蝴蝶正好落在她們的右邊。故填：a butterfly flew down right by them.

5.根據For me little miracles are the best kind. 描述，可知對于作者來說，小奇跡就是最好的那種。故填：the best kind。
