Henry. I had never heard of it before, but it quickly became one of my favourite stories. The story is about a young couple, Della and Jim. They are very poor but love each other deeply. Della has beautiful long hair, and Jim has a gold watch that belonged to his father. On Christmas Eve, they both want to buy gifts for each other. Della sells her hair to buy a chain for Jim's watch. Jim sells his watch to buy a set of combs for Della's hair. In the end, their gifts are useless for each other, but their love is stronger than ever. What moved me most was the way they thought of each other first. They were willing to give up their most prized possessions for each other. This taught me that the value of a gift is not in its price, but in the love behind it. I think everyone should read this story. It reminds us that money is not the most important thing in life. True love and sacrifice are worth more than gold. ( )1. What did the writer think about "The Gift of the Magi"? A. It was boring. B. It was too long. C.

His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in 1862 and died in 1910. During his lifetime, he wrote over 600 short stories. What made O. Henry's stories so special? The answer is his "surprise endings". Almost every O. Henry story has a twist at the end. The readers think the story is going one way, but suddenly it takes a completely different turn. This keeps readers engaged and makes them want to read more. His most famous story, "The Gift of the Magi", is a perfect example of this style. Throughout the story, we feel sorry for Della and Jim because they are so poor. We expect a sad ending. But then comes the surprise—Jim has sold his watch to buy combs for Della's hair, which she has already sold. The ending is both surprising and heartwarming. O. Henry's stories are still loved today because they combine humor, emotion, and unexpected twists. His works remind us that life is full of surprises. ( )6. What is O. Henry best known for? A.

But it also raises an important question: what is the real value of money? Money is a tool. It can buy us things we need—food, shelter, and clothing. It can also buy us things we want—entertainment, travel, and luxury items. However, there are many things that money cannot buy. It cannot buy true love, genuine friendship, or inner peace. In the story, Della and Jim both give up their most valuable possessions to buy gifts for each other. The gifts become useless, but their love becomes even stronger. O. Henry tells us that they are "the wisest" because they understand what matters most in life. They know that love is worth more than gold. In our modern world, many people believe that having money is the key to happiness. But the story challenges this idea. It suggests that true happiness comes from relationships, from giving, and from being willing to sacrifice for others. Of course, we all need money to live. But we should never forget that the things money cannot buy are often the things that matter most. ( )11. What question does the passage try to answer? A. How to become rich. B.

Della has beautiful long hair that reaches below her knees. Jim has a gold watch that once belonged to his father. Both of these are their most valuable possessions.
