Most of the buildings in this part are very old, and it is easy for poor artists to find rooms that they like. Sue was a
28、 young woman who was studying art. One day in May, she met at a restaurant another young woman artist whose name was Joan. There they found that they liked the same kind of art, the same kind of food, and the same kind of clothes. So they started to live and work together. They loved each other just
29、 like two sisters. In November, pneumonia(肺炎) came to that part of the city. Many people caught it, and Joan was among them. She lay still in her bed all day, and looked from time to time through the window at the wall of the next house. One morning the doctor spoke to Sue in the hall when they were
30、 alone. He told her that Joan had a very poor chance to get well again. “She will have a chance only if she has a strong will to live,” said the doctor. “But she has decided that she isnt going to get well.” The doctor said to Sue, “Ill do all I can. But you will also have to do your best to give he
31、r a strong will to live. Talk to her about new winter clothes, or picnics in the woods next spring. If she gets interested in the future, her chances will be better.” The doctor left. Then Sue went into Joans room and began drawing a picture with pen and ink.While Sue was drawing, Joan said somethin
32、g in a faint voice. Sue went quickly to the side of her bed. Joans eyes were wide open. She was looking out of the window and was counting something.“Twelve,” said Joan. A little later she said, “Eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven.”Sue looked out. There was a wall covered with an old vine(藤) growing ha
33、lf way up it.“Six,” said Joan after a little while. “They are falling faster now. During the past three days almost a hundred have fallen. And now there are only six. There goes another. Only five are left now.” “Five what, dear? Tell me, Joan.”“Five leaves,” said Joan. “When the last leaf falls, I
34、must go, too. The doctor told you that I would die soon, didnt he?”“Dont be silly ”said Sue. “He said that you would soon get well.”“There goes another,” said Joan. “I know the last leaf will fall before dark. I want to see it when it falls.”“Joan,” said Sue. “Shut your eyes and go to sleep. Ill go
35、and ask Behrman to come up and sit here as my model.”Behrman was a poor artist who was over sixty years old. He always said that some day he would paint a great masterpiece. When Sue went into his room, he was alone, drinking. She told him about Joan and the leaves on the vine.“What! ” shouted the o
36、ld man. “Do people die because leaves fall from a tree? Ive never heard such a silly thing. Just take me to her room.”Joan was sleeping when they went in. A cold rain was falling, mixed in the rain was snow.The next morning Joan wanted Sue to pull up the shade(遮光帘).There still was one yellow leaf at
37、 the end of a branch!“Its the last leaf,” said Joan. “It will fall today, and Ill go with it.”When night came, the rain began to fall again with a strong wind.Another morning came. Sue pulled up the shade. The lonely leaf was still there! Joan looked at it for a long time. Then she said to Sue, “Ive
38、 been a bad girl, Sue. Ive learned from that leaf that its wrong to decide to die. Now I want to get well and paint again.”The doctor came to see Joan in the afternoon. Sue followed him into the hall and asked him, “Does Joan have any chance?”“Yes, she does. Shell get well before long if you give he
39、r good care.” Said the doctor. “And now I must see another case downstairs. His name is Berman. Hes an artist. Pneumonia, too. Hes very ill. Theres little hope for him. Were going to take him to the hospital. ”When Sue met the doctor the next morning, he said to her, “Your friend is safe now. All sh
40、e needs is food and care. Youve done it!”In the evening Sue came to Joans bed.“I have something to tell you,” said Sue. “Mr. Berman died of pneumonia in the hospital today. He was ill only two days. When someone went into his room on the morning of the first day, Behrman was lying there with his sho
41、es on. His shoes and clothes were all wet and as cold as ice. Nobody knew why.”“Oh, poor Behrman!” cried Joan.“Look out of the window at the last leaf on the wall, ” said Sue. “It looks like a real leaf, doesnt it?”“A real leaf?”“Its Behrmans great masterpiece. When the last leaf fell that night, he painted it there in its place.”演练12答案练一练：15 BCCCA 610 CDBAB 1115 CBACA 1620 DBCCD猜一猜： 根据谜面可推知：第一个字母是“s或n或o或w”，第二个字母是“r或e”，第三个字母是“a或r”。根据最后一句“我的整个单词指的是一个有着很多水的地方”，我猜测这个单词是“sea”，也就是“海”的意思。 填一填： 1.
