五、任务型阅读
It was getting dark and it was snowing heavily when Scrooge moved along the street with the ghost.
When they arrived at a door, they heard a laugh. It was a great surprise to Scrooge to recognize the laugh from his own nephew (侄子) Fred.
They entered. About twenty people sat and talked happily. They couldn’t see Scrooge and the ghost.
“Ha, ha, ha!” cried Fred, “My uncle said that Christmas was a trick! And he believed it too!”
“Shame for him, Fred!” said Mary, Fred’s nice wife, angrily.
“He’s a funny old fellow,” said Fred, “He’s rich, but his wealth is of no use to him. He doesn’t do any good with it. And I have nothing to say against him.”
After that, they began to play a game. All the people did it happily, young and old, and so did Scrooge. He was really enjoying himself. He even forgot that they couldn’t see or hear him.
The Ghost was greatly pleased to find Scrooge in this mood, and Scrooge didn’t want to leave.
“Here is another game,” said Scrooge. “Allow me to stay one half hour, Spirit, only one half hour.”
That was a Game called “Yes and No”—When someone thought of something, the rest must find out what it was by getting the answer “yes” or “no”.
It was Fred’s turn. He laughed and laughed. At last, his wife Mary cried out, “I have found it out! It’s your Uncle Scro-o-o-o-oge!”
“Certainly it is! He has given us plenty of merriment, I am sure,” said Fred, “Here is a glass of wine ready to our hand now, and I say, ‘Uncle Scrooge!’ ”
“Well! Uncle Scrooge!” They cried.
“A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the old man, whatever he is!” said Fred.
Uncle Scrooge imperceptibly became so happy and light of heart. If the Ghost had given him time, he would like to say something. But the whole scene passed off in the breath of the last word spoken by his nephew.
