Question

One little miracle (奇迹) has been happening to me recently, and it gives me a special joy.
A few months ago, I was 1 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 (看不见地) 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 2some 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.

解析试题分析：短文大意：这篇短文中作则主要讲述了发生在自己身边的一个小奇迹，以此来告诉我们要注意身边时刻发生着的小奇迹。
【小题1】①根据本句时间状语A few months ago, 可知此处表示的过去正在进行的动作，故填现在分词telling /，讲述。②结合语境可知此处指的是每个人都总是想找到一些奇迹。短语look for寻找，故介词for，为了，对于。
【小题2】结合语境可知我的母亲去世时，我的女儿还不够大，不能很好的记住她。故填old enough to，足够大做某事。
【小题3】本句中that引导的定语从句作定语修饰名词miracles。故译为：他们没有注意到每天发生在他们眼前的这些小奇迹。
【小题4】根据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们的右边。故填：a butterfly flew down right by them.
【小题5】根据For me little miracles are the best kind. 描述，可知对于作者来说，小奇迹就是最好的那种。故填：the best kind。
