《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,
b
ut 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
on
e
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.”
