Passage1

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation (手術) could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.

When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (奇蹟) can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.

She hurried to a drugstore (藥店) with the money in her hand.

“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother.” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and 1 want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.

“My brother Andrew 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 a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.

“Listen，if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”

A well-dressed man heard it and asked. “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”

“I don’t know.” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it. So I have brought all my money.”

“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.

“Well, what a luck,” smiled the man, “$1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers.”

He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

Passage2

Linda has been a vegetarian for years. She stopped eating meat because of how she felt. As she told her doctor, she always felt tired. Her doctor looked her over and told her to eat less meat. She bought a vegetarian cookbook and decided to “go all the way”. She still eats eggs and cheese sometimes; now, however, most of her food is vegetables, fruits and grains(穀類). Linda became a vegetarian to improve her health.

Nancy is an animal lover. She grew up on a farm where there were cows and chickens. As she grew older, she started to eat less meat. One day she realized that she had stopped eating meat. It had never seemed right to her that animals were fed to be killed for food.

When Mark was a student, he had a careful plan of how to spend money. He spent the little money that he had for food on rice, cheap vegetables. He learned to be a very good cook. Now Mark is a successful engineer, but he still eats simple foods, and no meat.

Roy is an environmentalist. He knows that the population is increasing faster and faster, but the land for growing food is not increasing at all. He knows that it takes sixteen kilos of grain to make one kilo of meat; he thinks about the fifteen kilos of grain that are wasted if he eats meat. “Somewhere,” he says, “someone hasn’t got enough to eat and is dying.
