I believe in miracles（奇迹）because I‘ve seen so many of them.One day, a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a   36   in my upper jaw ,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he   37   I e to see you”
Her eight-year-old son acpanied her.He would   38   to add something .but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything herself.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the  39  of her mouth.A careful examination later   40  that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment，I explained to her the   41   of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just   42   .”
I thought otherwise.After considerable   43   on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to   44   me ,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected,  45  treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office,still energetic and   46  .
“How are you?”I asked.
“I’m just fine ,honey，”she responded   47   high spirits.“When can I get stared on fixing my dentures（假牙）?”
Surprised to see her at all,Ianswered   48  ,“Let me take a look at your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had  49  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone-only one small area of redness  50  .
I had read of such things happening.but had  51  seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting  52  to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are miracles, 53  through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to  54  the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I’ve e to understand that the time and place for a miracle is  55  we choose to find it.
