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. 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. [图片] 2.

[图片] Read and complete Complete the notes with the words and expressions from the passage. About the story poor beautiful hair his watch expensive useless the wisest love more important [图片] Read and answer 1. What can you tell from “sixty cents of it was in pennies”? Why does the writer include this line in the review? 2. What does the expression “breaks her heart” show about Della? Is her heart really broken? It shows Della is very poor. Saving mostly in pennies means she saved slowly and with great difficulty, coin by coin. To show directly how poor Della was and to highlight the story’s main conflict: her deep love for Jim versus her lack of money. It shows she feels deep sadness and despair because she can’t buy Jim a good gift. No, it’s a metaphor—it means she is emotionally hurt, not physically injured. [图片] Read and answer 3. Why does the writer say the gifts are “useless”? Della cuts off her long hair, so she can’t use the combs Jim buys her. Jim sells his watch, so he has no watch for Della’s chain. The two gifts can’t be used right then, so they are “useless”. [图片] Think and share 1. What is the surprise ending of the story? Do you like it? 2. Do you agree with the writer’s comment on the story? Why or why not? Learning to think for question 2 People can have different opinions on the same thing.
