(1) ________ (2) ________ (3) ________ (4) ________ (5) ________ 七、阅读理解 The Art of Surprise Endings O. Henry was a master of the surprise ending. His stories often lead readers in one direction, only to reveal a completely different outcome at the end. This technique keeps readers engaged and makes his stories memorable. In "The Last Leaf", the surprise ending is that the leaf Johnsy sees is not real. It was painted by Old Behrman. This revelation changes everything. What seemed like a story about a woman's will to live becomes a story about sacrifice and love. The reader's view of Behrman changes from a failed artist to a hero. Surprise endings are effective because they make readers rethink the entire story. Details that seemed unimportant suddenly become significant. This creates a more powerful emotional impact. Readers often remember surprise endings long after they have finished reading. However, surprise endings must be believable. If the ending is too unexpected or unrealistic, it can disappoint the reader. Good writers plant subtle clues throughout the story so that, in hindsight, the ending makes sense. 1. What is O. Henry known for according to the passage? A. Writing long novels. B. Using surprise endings. C. Writing about rich people. D. Writing poetry. 2. What is the surprise ending in "The Last Leaf"? A. Johnsy recovers from her illness. B. The leaf Johnsy sees is painted by Behrman. C. Behrman becomes a famous artist. D. Sue marries Behrman. 3.

They make the story easier to understand. 5. What must a good surprise ending have? A. It must be very unexpected. B. It must be believable. C. It must be happy. D.
