22、（题文）An eight-year-old girl 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 (手术) could save him now and there was no one to lend them money.

When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (something could not happen) 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 (药店) 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 sick and I want to buy a miracle.”

“My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side 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 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. ”

23、Today, we’ll visit a place of strange and silent beauty. As beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence of very real danger. We are exploring Death Valley National Park.

Death Valley is a huge place. It extends more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of California into the neighboring state of Nevada. Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous desert and mountains. There are mountains that reach more than 3,000 meters into the sky.

Several kinds of birds live in Death Valley, as do mammals and reptiles. Many different snakes live there too.

The area got its name in 1849. That was the year after gold was discovered in California. Thousands of people from around the country traveled to the gold mining areas of the state. They were in a hurry to get there before other people did. One group trying to reach California decided to take a path called the Old Spanish Trail. By December they had reached Death Valley. But there was a lack of water and there were too few plants for their work animals to eat. The people could not find a pass through the tall mountains to the west of the valley. Slowly, they began to suffer from a lack of food. To survive, they killed their work animals for food and began to walk out of the valley. As they left, a woman in the group looked back and said,”Goodbye, Death Valley.” The name has never been changed.

Death Valley became a national park in 1994. More than one million people visit the park each year.

Oil paper umbrellas have a history of over 1,000 years in China. Once they were everywhere. However, as umbrellas with metal ribs (金属伞骨) 【1】 /bɪˈkeɪm/ more popular in the last century, people used the hand-made umbrellas less in daily life.

Yuhang in Hangzhou is famous 【2】 making oil paper umbrellas for over 230 years. Umbrellas here take more than 70 steps to make, such as making bamboo ribs and pasting (糊) papers. It takes at least a week to make 【3】 umbrella. Each umbrella has 36 ribs, 【4】 they are strong. In 2007, this kind of umbrella was added to Zhejiang province’s intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录).

In 2015, Liu Weixue 【5】 (leave) a well-paid job to learn from his grandfather the art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas. “I want to 【6】 /brɪŋ/ the art to life.” Liu said. “When it rains, someone uses the umbrella — that’s what I want to see.”

After 【7】 (learn) the skills well, Liu opened a studio（工作坊）and improved the umbrellas to 【8】 /wɪn/ the hearts of young people. Because the traditional paper was easy to break, he used thicker paper.

In 2017, Liu opened an online shop to sell 【10】 (umbrella). It now has more than 80,000 followers (粉丝). But to keep the quality(质量), his studio makes only 1,000 umbrellas each year. He hopes the art can be passed on.
