Hearing what Sue said, Johnsy was lost in guilt. Johnsy and Sue sat behind the window gazing at the last leaf that Mr. Behrman had painted with tears in silence. Then they looked at each other sadly.
“I’ve been a bad girl, but now I have regretted and I will do something for Mr. Behrman, who sacrificed his life for mine.” Johnsy told Sue.
Since then, they devoted their whole heart to the cause of art. Johnsy combined her own style with the inspiration from Mr. Behrman, and created some paintings that drew attention from the local newspaper.
With their continuous hard work, They successfully held an art exhibition of their paintings and some remaining works from Mr. Behrman.

三、阅读理解
Avi Wortis, known simply as Avi, writes historical novels. Historical novels mix historical facts with storytelling skills. These stories take place in the past. The main characters are not always real; they exist only in stories.
Avi decided to become a writer when he was a student in senior high school. This was quite a decision because he did not write well in school. He had a problem called dysgraphia, a writing disability. The problem caused people to spell words wrongly. Avi always enjoyed reading. He read many types of books as a child. Avi believes that reading is the most important activity for a person who wants to be a writer.
Avi also believes that strong characters make strong stories. He creates characters that can help to bring his ideas to life. His books often deal with questions about life. Writing stories lets him explore many sides of a subject. His favorite part is to make improvements in his writing. For him the hardest part is writing the first draft (草稿).
Avi's first book was published in 1970. He has written more than 45 books ever since. Most of them are for young adult readers.

二、语法填空
答案:which; lived ; with ; lost ; 1uckily ; to go; surprised ; freedom ; novels ; it
解析:①分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词novel在从句中充当主语,故应用关系代词which引导该定语从句。
②空格处作句子的谓语,由前文的was判断本句应为一般过去时,故填lived。
③句意:他和两个朋友溜走到密西西比河中部的一个岛屿上待了几天。结合句意可知,此处应用介词with,表示“和”。
④get lost “迷路”, lost是形容词,作get的表语。
⑤此处应用luck的副词形式作状语,修饰后面的句子。故填Luckily。
⑥decide to do sth“决定做某事”,是固定短语。
⑦此处应填形容词作表语,且主语Everyone指人,故应用-ed形式的形容词, be surprised to do sth“做某事感到惊讶”。
⑧由空前的介词about可知,此处应填free的名词形式freedom,作介词about的宾语。
⑨“one of the +形容词最高级+名词复数”表示“最……的之一”,所以此处应用novel的复数形式。故填novels。
⑩句意:我认为你会喜欢它的。结合上文可知,此处应用it指代The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,故填it。
