名著阅读(一) 《小公主》《最后一片叶子》

A [2019·镇江二模]

When Sara entered the schoolroom the next morning, everybody looked at her with wide, interested

eyes. By that time every pupil—from Lavinia Herbert, who was nearly thirteen and felt quite grown

up, to Lottie Legh, who was just four and the baby of the school—had heard a great deal about her.

They knew very certainly that she was Miss Minchin's show pupil and was considered a credit to the

school(为校争光的人). One or two of them had even caught a glimpse(瞥) of her French maid(女仆),

Mariette, who had arrived the evening before. Lavinia had managed to pass Sara's room when the door

was open, and had seen Mariette opening a box which had arrived late from some shop.

“It was full of beautiful dresses,” she whispered to her friend Jessie. “I saw her shaking

them out. I heard Miss Minchin say to Miss Amelia that her clothes were too good for a child. My

mamma says that children should be dressed simply. She has got one of those dresses on now. I saw

it when she sat down.”

“She isn't pretty as other pretty people are,” said Jessie, stealing a glance across the room,

“but she makes you want to look at her again. She has very long eyelashes, but her eyes are almost

green.”

Sara was sitting quietly in her seat, waiting to be told what to do. She had been placed near

Miss Minchin's desk. She was not shy or nervous at all by the many pairs of eyes watching her. She

was interested and looked back quietly at the children who looked at her. She wondered what they

were thinking of, and if they liked Miss Minchin, and if they cared for their lessons, and if any

of them had a papa at all like her own. She had had a long talk with Emily about her papa that morning.

“He is on the sea now, Emily,” she had said. “We must be very great friends to each other and

tell each other things. Emily, look at me. You have the nicest eyes I ever saw—but I wish you could

speak.” She was a child full of imagination, and one of her thoughts was that making herself believe

that Emily was alive and really heard and understood.

The

Last

Leaf

is a short story written by the USA author O. Henry, one of the most famous short

story writers in history. His stories are known for their surprising endings, now called “O. Henry

endings”.

In the story of

The

Last

Leaf

, Sue and Joanna are two artists living in New York City.

Unfortunately, Joanna is ill and will probably die. In the hospital, something touching and

unexpected happens. Let's find out more in the following excerpt(节选).

Sue looked out of the window. All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy(常春藤) plant. The

half-dead plant had few leaves on it because of the autumn winds.

“There are only five, now,” said Joanna.

“Five what, dear?What are you counting?”

“The ivy leaves,” replied Joanna. “When the last one goes, I'll die. I've known that for

two days. Didn't the doctor tell you about it?”

“Joanna, don't say that. Now, eat some soup and I'll finish my picture.”

“I don't want any soup,” said Joanna, looking out of the window. “Now there are only four.”

“Joanna dear, try to sleep. I must ask Mr Berman to come up. I want to draw a picture of him

as a poor old farmer.”

Mr Berman, who was over 60 years old, lived downstairs. He was a painter, too, but he never

sold anything, and he drank a lot. Sue told him all about what Joanna was saying.

“She can't really think that this will happen!The poor woman!” he cried.

Finally there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant. After a few windy days, the leaf was

still there.

“Susie,” said Joanna, “I've been a bad girl. That last leaf is telling me that it was very

wrong of me to want to die. Bring me some soup, dear.”

The next day, the doctor said, “She's out of danger. But poor Mr Berman downstairs is dying.

There's no hope for him, I'm afraid.”

That afternoon Sue went into Joanna's bedroom.

“Joanna dear, Mr Berman died today. And do you know why? One terrible, cold wet night he took

a ladder and some green and yellow paint and he climbed up, and—oh, look at the last ivy leaf on

the wall! Why didn't it ever move in the wind? Can't you see? It was Mr Berman's last great picture.

He painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”
