O. Henry is well‑known for his surprise‑ending short‑stories. Few people realize that most of his characters come from real ordinary people he met in different places. In his early years, he took many different jobs. He talked with poor artists, common workers and young people who were facing life troubles. Those real‑life experiences offered him rich writing materials.
O. Henry did not receive much formal school education. However, he kept reading in his spare time. Reading helped him build his writing skills. For O. Henry, writing was not only a way to make a living. It was a way to show care for ordinary people. Most of his stories are set in modern big cities. He would write about their small happiness, hidden sadness and quiet hope.
Unless you read his stories with patience, you may only notice the surprising endings and miss the deep feelings behind the plots. His works have lasting value.

Old Behrman was a poor old painter in the same apartment building. He had long dreamed of painting a great masterpiece.

11.feelings
【详解】句意:文学给我们一个表达真实情感的机会。true是形容词,后面需要接名词;动词feel“感受”对应的名词形式是feeling,表示情感时常用复数feelings,因此填feelings。
12.to explore
【详解】句意:许多青少年选择在空闲时间探索文学经典。choose to do sth“选择做某事”,是固定搭配,需填动词explore的不定式形式to explore。
13.creating
【详解】句意:在故事里,我们可以看见他在那个寒冷的雨夜正在创作一部伟大的杰作。see sb doing sth“看见某人正在做某事”,强调看到动作正在发生,需填动词create的现在分词形式creating,作宾语补足语。
14.Reading
【详解】句意:阅读短篇小说帮助我们理解真实的人类情感。句子缺少主语,动词不能直接作主语,要变为动名词形式reading,动名词在句中充当主语。放在句首,首字母要大写。
15.interested
【详解】句意:这个小男孩对一个勇敢小狗的童话故事感兴趣。固定短语be interested in意为“对……感兴趣”,修饰人要使用形容词interested。
16.lasting 17.unable 18.show up 19.against the wall 20.make sense
【详解】16.句意:这个故事具有持久的价值,并影响了许多年轻读者。此处需要一个形容词修饰名词“value”,表示“持久的、永久的”价值。根据语境,故事能影响许多年轻读者,说明其价值是长久而非短暂的,应用lasting。
17.句意:他无法理解为什么Johnsy把自己的生命与树叶联系在一起。此处考查固定搭配“be unable to do sth”,意为“无法做某事”。根据句意,他不理解Johnsy的做法,表示没有能力理解,应用unable。
18.句意:那个演员直到戏剧快结束时才出场。此处需要一个动词短语,表示“出现、露面”。根据“until the play was nearly over”可知,演员很晚才出现,应用show up。
19.句意:Behrman把叶子画在墙上。此处需要一个介词短语,表示位置。根据语境,Behrman是在墙上画叶子,应用against the wall,意为“靠着墙、在墙上”。
20.句意:如果你仔细想一想,他那个奇怪的想法就会讲得通。此处需要一个动词短语,表示“有道理、讲得通”。根据“If you think carefully”可知,仔细思考后这个想法就能被理解,应用make sense。
