After flying all night, I was tired as I arrived in Denver to hold an event on positive
thinking. As I entered the lecture hall, Dr. Fred Vogt asked me, “Do you know about the Make-
A-Wish Foundation?” “Yes,” I replied. “Well, a 17-year-old girl Amy Graham has been
diagnosed as having terminal (晚期的) cancer. Doctors gave her three days. Her dying wish was
to attend your lecture.”
I was shocked. I felt a combination of awe and doubt. I couldn’t believe it. I thought kids who
were dying would want to go see Disneyland, or suchlike. Why would a kid with only a few days
to live want to spend her final days listening to a motivational speaker? Suddenly, my thoughts
were interrupted...
“Here’s Amy.” Before me stood a girl wearing a bright red hat to cover her head, which
was bald from all of the treatments. Her weak body was a bit bent. She said, “My two goals were
to graduate from high school and to attend your lecture. My doctors didn’t believe I could do
either and they didn’t think I’d have enough energy. I have to rely on my parents now.”
Tears welled in my eyes; I was choked up. My mind was being shaken. I cleared my throat
and smiled, “Thanks for wanting to come.” We hugged, wiped our eyes and separated.
That Sunday afternoon, I held the workshop that Amy and her parents attended. The
audience was packed to overflowing with over a thousand attendees eager to learn, grow and
become more fully human. I humbly asked the audience if they wanted to learn a healing process
that might serve them for life. From the stage it appeared that everyone’s hand was raised high in
the air. I taught the audience how to vigorously（用力地）rub their hands together, separate
them by two inches and feel the healing energy. Then I paired them off with a partner to feel the
healing energy from themselves to another, explaining that everyone had healing potential to
support others.
Paragraph 1:
At that point, an idea struck me.
Paragraph 2:
With a round of applause, Amy’s dad led her off the stage.

答案： Paragraph 1:
At that point, an idea struck me. I said to the audience, “This morning, I was introduced to Amy Graham, a 17 - year - old. I want to bring her up here and let you all send healing life energy toward her.” Supported by her father, Amy stepped onto the stage, looking frail from an absolute lack of exercise. She talked about what she was suffering from and her final wish to be at this workshop. Touched by her story, the audience spontaneously warmed up their
hands and engaged in the simple exercise, after which they gave her a tearful standing ovation.
Paragraph 2:
With a round of applause, Amy's dad led her off the stage. At that moment, the workshop became more than just a lecture on positive thinking—it showed the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit. After the workshop concluded, attendees lingered, sharing stories and exchanging contact information. Many approached Amy and her parents, offering words of encouragement. It was clear that something extraordinary had taken place—a blend of hope, belief, and the courage to confront adversity with positivity. Before leaving, Amy thanked me for the unexpected invitation, which was a real bonus for her and gave her the healing power beyond physical remedies.
