完形填空。

     Tess was an eight-year-old girl when she heard her parents talking about her sick brother Andrew.
Only a    1    surgery could save him now and no one would    2    them the money. She heard Daddy say
to her tearful Mother with    3  . "Only a miracle can save him now."
     Tess went to her bedroom and    4    a glass jar from the closet. She poured all the change out on the
floor and counted it    5   . No chance here for mistakes. Placing the coins back in the jar she    6    out
of the back door and made her way 6    7    to Rexall's Drug Store.
     She waited    8    so long but the pharmacist was too busy at this moment.
     "And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in a(n)    9    tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother
from Chicago whom I haven't seen for ages " he said.
     "Well I want to talk to you about my brother " Tess answered. "He's really really sick and I want to
buy a   10  ."
     "I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist.
     "My brother has something bad growing   11   his head and only a miracle can save him now. So how
much does a miracle cost?"
     "Sorry little girl. We don't sell miracles here." he said    12   a little.
     The pharmacist's brother   13   down and asked her "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"
"I don't know " Tess replied with her eyes   14   up. "He needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it
so I want to use my money."
     "How much do you have?" he asked."One dollar and eleven cents " she   15 . "It's the exact price of a
miracle for little brothers. Take me to   16   your brother. Maybe I have the miracle you need."
     That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong a surgeon    17   in neurosurgery. The operation was
completed without charge and it wasn't long   18   Andrew was home again.
     "That surgery " Mom whispered "was a(n)   19   miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?" Tess
smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost: one dollar and eleven cents plus the   20   of a little child.
