A.Listen to the story and put the pictures in the correct order. Write the numbers 1-6 in the boxes.
Jim Smiley always kept a small box with him. One day, a stranger asked,“What have you got in the box?”
Jim answered,“I’ve got a frog that can jump farther than any other frog in Calaveras County. His name is Daniel.”
The man looked at the frog, and then said,“Well, I haven’t got a frog, but I bet you 40 dollars that any other frog could beat him.”
Jim said,“Hold my box, and I’ll get you a frog.”
So the man took the box and sat down to wait. After a while, he got Daniel out, opened his mouth, and filled him with small pieces of lead.
Finally, Jim caught a frog. He came back with the frog and gave it to the man.
They set the two frogs next to each other on the ground. Then Jim said,“One, two, three, jump!”
The new frog jumped off. However, Daniel tried and tried, but could not move.
The stranger took the money and left.
Jim thought that there was something wrong with Daniel, so he picked the frog up and turned him over. Out came the pieces of lead.
吉姆斯迈利总是随身带一个小箱子，一天，一个陌生人问：箱子里有什么？
吉姆回答，有一只青蛙，能跳得比卡拉韦拉斯县的任何一只青蛙都远，它名叫丹尼尔。
这个人看着这只青蛙，然后说：好。我没有青蛙，但我跟你赌40美元，任何一只青蛙都能打败它。
吉姆说：拿住这箱子，我去给你一只。因此这个人拿着箱子坐下来等。片刻之后，这个人把丹尼尔放出来，打开它的嘴巴，填入小块小块的铅。
最后，吉姆找来一只青蛙，他带着青蛙回来，并交给了他。
他们把两只青蛙挨着放在地面上，然后吉姆说：一、二、三、跳。
新的这只青蛙跳离了，然而丹尼尔试了又试，但不能动。
陌生人拿着钱走了。
吉姆想，丹尼尔出了毛病，他拾起丹尼尔翻转过来，小块的铅掉了出来。

A.Listen to a lecture about O. Henry and complete the notes below. Write one word or figure in each blank.
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 short story.
