Tapescript
O. Henry was born in 1862 in the US as William Sydney Porter. When he was 25, he first began writing for newspapers and magazines. He did this because he was poor and he wanted to get more money to support his wife and daughter. In 1896, he was accused of stealing money while he was working in a bank from 1891 to 1894. Afraid of going to prison, he ran away to Central America.
When he was in Central America, he found out that his wife was dying, so he returned to the US in 1897 and was sent to prison. In prison, he began writing short stories to support his daughter. Since he didn’t want his readers to know that he was in prison, he wrote under the name “O. Henry”. After leaving prison, he moved to New York City and began a successful writing career. O. Henry died at the age of 47 in 1910. Today he’s remembered as one of the writers who invented the shortstory.

The Last Leaf
《最后一片叶子》
What is “The last leaf” about Is there a surprise ending
Let’s read the story.
Let’s enjoy a short video——The last leaf.
The last leaf
At the top of a house Sue and Johnsy had their studio. In November, Johnsy became very ill, and was lying on her bed and looking through the window at the wall of the next house.
“Her only chance,” the doctor said, “is for her to want to live.”
After the doctor had gone, Sue came into Johnsy’s room. Johnsy was looking out of the window and counting.
“Six,” said Johnsy. “There goes another one. There are only five left now.”
“Five what, dear ”
“Leaves. On the ivy vine. I want to see the last one fall. Then I’ll die.”
“Johnsy, dear,” said Sue, “try to sleep. I must go and ask Behrman to be my model.”
Read the story and answer the questions.
Old Behrman was a painter. He was past 60 and earned a little money by being a model. Sue found Behrman and told him what Johnsy had said. Johnsy was sleeping when they went upstairs. They looked out of the window at the ivy vine. A cold rain was falling.
The next morning, there stood one ivy leaf.
“It’s the last one,” said Johnsy. “It’ll fall today, and I’ll die.”
At night, the wind began to blow. The next morning, the leaf was still there.
“Something has made that last leaf stay there. It’s wrong to want to die,” said Johnsy to Sue. “Please bring me a little soup now.”
A few days later, the doctor said to Sue, “She’s out of danger.”
That afternoon, Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay.
“Mr Behrman died today,” she said. “He was wet and icy cold from being out all night. Do you know why the leaf never moved Behrman painted it on the wall the night that the last leaf fell.”
