Activity 2 Read the review and find out the writer's opinion of "The Gift of the Magi". A love worth more than gold “One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies.” The story “The Gift of the Magi” begins with this line. It’s a short story by the American writer O. Henry. He is known for the surprise endings in his stories. “The Gift of the Magi” is perhaps the most famous of all his works. The story is about Della and Jim, a young couple with little money. Jim only makes $20 a week, and their flat alone costs $8 of that. They have to worry about money every day. Even though they’re poor, Della and Jim each have one special treasure. For Della, it is her beautiful hair. For Jim, it is his gold watch. It’s Christmas Eve. Della has tried hard to save money to buy Jim a gift. But one dollar and eighty-seven cents is certainly not enough. It breaks her heart. And so, she sells her hair to buy Jim a nice chain for his watch. 因……而闻名 担心 虽然，尽管 break one’s heart 使某人伤心；让某人心碎 圣诞前夕；平安夜 When Jim comes home, he is shocked. Della’s hair is gone! At first, Della thinks he’s angry with her, but then she knows why. Jim also brings Della a gift — an expensive set of combs for her hair. How does he do it? Well, here comes the O. Henry surprise. Jim has sold his watch! “The Gift of the Magi” is a warm story. In the end, Della and Jim have no money, and nothing but the “useless” gifts for each other. But O. Henry does not invite us to laugh at the couple. Instead, he writes at the end that “they are the wisest”. They have something much more important than money — they have love.

Henry，1862年9月11日—1910年6月5日），美国现代短篇小说创始人、短篇小说家，其主要作品有《麦琪的礼物》《警察与赞美诗》《最后一片叶子》《二十年后》等。 欧·亨利与契诃夫和莫泊桑并列世界三大短篇小说巨匠，曾被评论界誉为曼哈顿桂冠散文作家和美国现代短篇小说之父，他的作品有“美国生活的百科全书”之誉。 欧·亨利的小说在艺术处理上的最大特点就是它们的“意外结局”，只有到了最后一刻，“谜底”才最终解开，情节的发展似乎明明朝着一个方向在发展，结果却来个出其不意。这意外的结局一般说来是比较令人宽慰的，即便是悲哀的结局，也常包含着某种光明之处，这就是所谓“带泪的微笑”，即“欧·亨利式结尾”。 Read the passage again and mark T (True) or F (False). 1.

What can you tell from “sixty cents of it was in pennies”? Why does the writer include this line in the review? I can tell that the couple is very poor and has little money. The writer uses this line to present the background of the story and show how little money Della has. 2. What does the expression “breaks her heart” show about Della? Is her heart really broken? It shows Della is very sad about not having enough money for Jim’s gift. Her heart isn’t really broken — it is just a way to say she is very sad. 3. Why does the writer say the gifts are “useless”? Della cuts and sells her beautiful hair to buy a watch chain for Jim’s gold watch, but Jim sells his watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. Now neither of them can use their gifts, so the gifts seem useless. Yet their love makes the gifts priceless. Think & share 1. What is the surprise ending of the story? Do you like it? The surprise ending is that both Jim and Della sell their own prized treasure to buy gifts for each other. But the gifts turn out to be “useless”. I don’t like the cruel ending, but I think it’s moving and impressive. / I like this ending because it’s warm and touching. 2. Do you agree with the writer’s comment on the story? Why or why not? Yes, I agree with the writer. Even though they are poor and their gifts turn out to be useless, their love is priceless. They are indeed “the wisest” because they know love is much more important than money. Learning to think for question 2 People can have different opinions on the same thing.
