Section Ⅲ Developing ideas & Presenting ideas 教材原文 词汇注解 课文原文 AFTER TWENTY YEARS BY O．HENRY The short story “After Twenty Years” is set in① New York on a cold, dark night. Most people have left work to go home, and this part of the city is now quiet. A policeman who is checking② the area sees a man outside a shop. He goes up to③ the man and finds he has a scar④ on his face. They have a chat and the man starts to tell his story. “Twenty years ago tonight，” said the man，“I dined⑤ here at ‘Big Joe’ Brady's with Jimmy Wells, [1]my best chum⑥ , and the finest chap⑦ in the world.
