The four March sisters were sitting around the fire in the living room. “Christmas isn’t Christmas without any presents,” Jo said sadly. “I hate being poor!” Meg said, looking at her old dress. “Some girls have lots of nice things, and other girls have nothing at all,” said Amy. “I don’t think it’s fair (公正的).” “But we’ve got Father and Mother, and each other,” said Beth. The four sisters looked happy for a moment when they remembered this. Then Jo said, “But we haven’t got Father.” Their smiles suddenly disappeared. Mr March was far away with the soldiers (士兵). “Mother says our men are suffering and we mustn’t spend money for pleasure,” Meg said. “That’s why we can’t have presents this year.” “Well, each of us has a dollar to spend,” said Jo. “What can the army (军队) do with four dollars? Nothing! I don’t expect anything from Mother but I’d like to buy a book for myself.” Jo loved reading and she had a passion for books. “I want to spend mine on some new music,” said Beth. She played the piano and she loved singing. “I’m going to buy a box of drawing pencils. I really need them,” said Amy. She wanted to be an artist. “Mother didn’t say anything about spending our own money,” cried Jo. “We work hard for it so let’s buy what we want and have a little fun.” It was true. The two older sisters had jobs. Meg worked as a teacher for the King family and Jo looked after Aunt March, their father’s rich, bad-tempered old aunt. Beth and Amy helped with the housework. Just then the clock struck (报时) six, Beth got up and put her mother’s slippers (拖鞋) near the fire to warm. “Those slippers are very old,” said Jo. “Mother needs a new pair.” “I can buy a pair for her with my dollar,” said Beth. “No, I’m the oldest,” Meg said. “I want to buy the slippers for her.” “No, it’s my job,” said Jo. “Father told me to take care of Mother while he was away.” “I have an idea,” said Beth. “Let’s not spend our money on ourselves. Let’s get some presents for Mother.” Her sisters thought that this was a very good idea. —Adapted from Little Women ( )1. Why did the four girls lose their smiles? [A] Their father was dead.
