She stood by the window and looked out unhappily at a gray cat walking along a gray fence in a gray back ya

2、rd. Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only one dollar and eighty-seven cents to buy her husband Jim a gift. She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result.There was a tall glass mirror between the windows of the room. Suddenly Della turned from the window and stood

3、 before the glass mirror and looked at herself. Her eyes were shining, but her face had lost its color within twenty seconds. Quickly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length.Della and Jim had two possessions which they valued. One was Jims gold watch that had been his fathers and

4、 his grandfathers. The other was Dellas hair. So now Dellas beautiful hair fell about her, shining like a brown waterfall. It reached below her knees and made itself almost like a covering for her. And then quickly she put it up again. She stood still while a few tears fell on the floor.She put on h

5、er coat and her old brown hat. With a quick motion and brightness still in her eyes, she danced out the door and down the street. Where she stopped the sign read: Madame Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds. Della ran up the steps to the shop, out of breath.Will you buy my hair? asked Della.I buy hair,

6、 said Madame. Take your hat off and let us have a look at it.”Down came the beautiful brown waterfall of hair.Twenty dollars, said Madame, lifting the hair with an experienced hand.Give it to me quick, said Della.The next two hours went by as if they had wings. Della looked in all the stores to choo

7、se a gift for Jim. She found it at last. It was a chain simple round rings of silver. It was perfect for Jims gold watch. She gave the shopkeeper twenty-one dollars and she hurried home with the eighty-seven cents that was left. When Della arrived home she began to repair what was left of her hair.

8、The hair had been ruined by her love and her desire to give a special gift. Repairing the damage was a very big job. Within forty minutes her head was covered with tiny round curls of hair that made her look wonderfully like a schoolboy. She looked at herself in the glass mirror long and carefully.麦

9、琪的礼物（1）黛拉停止了哭泣，擦干了脸。她站在窗前，忧伤地看着灰蒙蒙的后院里一只灰色的猫正沿着灰色的篱笆行走。明天就是圣诞节了，而她只有一块八毛七分钱来给她的丈夫吉姆买礼物。这已经是她省吃俭用攒了好几个月的结果。房间的两个窗户之间有一面高高的镜子。突然，黛拉从窗边转过身来，站到镜子前，看着镜中的自己。她的双眼闪着晶亮的光，可是二十秒内，她的面色猛然间变了。她迅速地把头发解开，放下来。黛拉和吉姆用有两件视若珍宝的东西：一件是吉姆的祖父和父亲传给他的金表，另一件就是黛拉的长发。现在，黛拉美丽的长发披散在她的身上，就像棕色的瀑布闪耀着光泽。头发一直垂到她的膝下，简直就是一件天然的外套。随后她又快速地

10、把头发扎好。她一动不动，几滴眼泪滴落在地板上。她穿上外套，戴上那顶棕色的旧帽子。眼里仍然闪烁着光芒，她翩然走出房门，跑到大街上。在一个写着“索夫罗涅太太经营各种头发制品”的招牌前面，黛拉停了下来。她气喘吁吁地跑上台阶。“您愿意买我的头发吗？”黛拉问。“我买头发，”太太说。“把帽子摘下来让我看看吧。”棕色的瀑布倾泻而下。“二十块，”夫人说，用她老练的手抓起头发。“快给我钱，”黛拉说。接下来的两个小时如长了翅膀一般飞逝而过。黛拉一家商店接一家商店地为吉姆搜寻合适的礼物。她终于找到了。那是一条表链白银质地、款式简单，和吉姆的金表简直就是绝配。她付给店主二十一块钱，然后拿着剩下的八毛七分，匆匆忙忙赶回

11、自己的家。黛拉回到家后，赶紧开始打理一头短发。由于对吉姆的爱，由于她想送给他一件特别的礼物的渴望，她牺牲了自己的头发。修复这些短发可相当不易。不到四十分钟，她的头上便盖满了细小的发卷，这使得她看上去就像个小男生。她对着镜子，久久地、小心翼翼地看着自己的新造型。重点单词:1. motion m()n n. 动作；移动2. curl kl n. 卷曲；卷发重点短语 / 亮点句式：1. put up束起(头发)；建造。如：Shes put her hair up.她把头发挽在头上。Many blocks of flats were put up in the 1990s.许多公寓式建筑群都是20世纪

13、d coat and try on this one.脱下你的旧外套，试穿这一件。The police boarded the plane shortly before it was to take off and took the two men into custody.警方是在飞机临起飞前登机并拘捕两人的。5.

14、s the class was over.刚一下课，孩子们就冲了出去。名句背诵：No one can degrade us except ourselves; that if we are worthy, no influence can defeat us. （Washington, American educator) 除了我们自己以外，没有人能贬低我们。如果我们坚强，就没有什么不良影响能够打败我们。(美国教育家 华盛顿)2. The Gift of the Magi (2)At seven oclock that night, the door opened and Jim steppe

15、d in. He looked thin and very serious. Jim stopped inside the door. His eyes were fixed upon Della. There was an expression in them that she could not read, and it frightened her. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor fear, nor any of the feelings that she had been prepared for. He simply looked at he

16、r with a strange expression on his face.You have cut off your hair? asked Jim, slowly, as if he had not accepted the information even after his mind worked very hard.Cut it off and sold it, said Della. Do you not like me just as well? I am the same person without my hair, right?It is sold, sold and

17、gone, too. It is Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it was cut for you. Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered, but nobody could ever count my love for you. Shall I put the meat on, Jim? said Della. Jim seemed to awaken quickly and put his arms around Della. Then he took a package from his coa

18、t and threw it on the table.Do not make any mistake about me, Dell, he said. I do not think there is any haircut that could make me like my girl any less. But if you will open that package you may see why you had me frightened at first.White fingers quickly tore at the string and paper. There was a

19、scream of joy; and then, alas! a change to tears and cries, requiring the man of the house to use all his skill to calm his wife.For there were the combs the special set of objects to hold her hair that Della had wanted ever since she saw them in a shop window. Beautiful combs, made of shells, with

20、jewels at the edge just the color to wear in the beautiful hair that was no longer hers. And now, the beautiful combs were hers, but the hair that should have touched them was gone. But she held the combs to herself, and soon she was able to look up with a smile and say, My hair grows so fast, Jim!T

21、hen Della jumped up like a little burned cat and cried, Oh, oh! Jim had not yet seen his beautiful gift. She happily held it out to him in her open hands.

22、day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.Instead of obeying, Jim fell on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled.

23、get the money to buy the set of combs for your hair. And now, why not put the meat on？麦琪的礼物（2）晚上七点钟，屋门打开，吉姆走了进来。他身材消瘦、表情严肃。吉姆走进门来。他的双眼盯着黛拉。她无法读懂那是一种什么样的表情，这令她惊恐不已。那不是愤怒，不是惊讶，也不是害怕，甚至不是她之前设想的任何一种神情。他只是带着一种奇特的表情看着她。“你把头发剪了？”吉姆慢慢地问到，好像苦苦思索之后仍然没能接受这个事实。“剪了，而且卖了。”黛拉说。“难道你不是还一样喜欢我吗？没了头发，我还是我，是吗？”“头发已经卖了，卖

24、掉了，没了。今天是平安夜，亲爱的。对我好一点，我是为了你才剪的头发。我有多少头发或许可以数的清，但我对你的爱却没有人可以数的清。我去把肉煎上好吗，吉姆？”黛拉说。吉姆如大梦初醒一般，伸出臂膀抱住了黛拉。他从大衣里掏出一个小包，把它扔在了桌子上。“不要误会我，黛拉。”他说，“我绝不认为换换发型就会让我少爱你一点点。但是，如果你打开那个包裹，你就会明白刚才我为什么惊呆了。”黛拉白皙的手指迅速地解开了绳子，撕开包装纸。她立即发出一声惊喜的尖叫；然后，唉！惊喜的尖叫变成了泪水和哭泣。吉姆不得不使出浑身解数来使妻子平静下来。包裹里是那套发饰自从黛拉在商店橱窗看到它们起就一直渴望着能够拥有的那套发饰。多么

25、漂亮的发饰啊！它们由玳瑁制成，边缘上还镶着宝石它们的颜色和那已经失去的美发是多么相配啊！现在，她终于拥有了这些漂亮的饰品，可是，原本应该佩戴它们的长发却已经没有了。但是，她仍然紧紧抱着这套发饰，不久，她抬起头来，带着微笑，说到，“我的头发长得很快的，吉姆！”然后，黛拉像一只被烫着了的小猫似地跳起来，喊到，“哎呀，哎呀！”吉姆还没有看到给他的漂亮礼物呢。她快活地摊开手掌，把礼物给他看。那条银色的表链闪闪发光。“很漂亮吧，吉姆？我找遍了整个镇子才发现了它。现在你每天得看它上百次吧。把手表给我。我想看看它们配在一起的样子。”吉姆没有把手表给她，而是躺倒在沙发上，双手枕头，笑了起来。“戴尔，”他说，“

26、还是让我们把圣诞礼物收好，先保存一段时间吧。它们太好了，我们现在还用不着。我是卖了金表给你买的发饰。现在，还是去煎肉吧！”重点单词:1. number nmb vt. 数的数目2. package pkd n. 包裹3. string str n. 线，细绳重点短语 / 亮点句式：1.
