One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make 
him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it.
“It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began 
to doubt that it was a real golden crown. “Is it made completely of 
gold?” he wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find 
out the truth.
“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought 
Archimedes.
Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath 
with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over.
“That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. 
“I know how to solve the king’s 
problem!”
Archimedes went straight to the 
palace to see the king. First, he 
weighed the crown and asked the king 
for some gold of the same weight. 
Next, he put two pots into two big 
bowls and filled both pots with 
water. He put the gold into one pot, 
and some water ran into the bowl. 
Then he put the crown into the other 
pot. This time, even more water ran 
into the bowl.
“Look at this,” said Archimedes 
to King Hiero. “A crown made 
completely of gold displaces less 
water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown 
displaced more water than gold of the same weight, so I’m certain that 
it’s not completely made of gold.”
“The crown maker tricked me, didn’t he? What a bad man he is!” 
shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison.

Asking for agreement or confirmation
 
 Question tags can be used to ask for agreement or confirmation. 
 
We use a falling intonation when we are asking for agreement.
It’s raining, isn’t it?
It’s raining, isn’t it?
We use a rising intonation when we are asking for confirmation.
No, it isn’t.
It sure is! I’ve never seen it 
rain this hard before!
  Read the conversation below and practise it in pairs. Pay attention to the 
intonation for the question tags.
Sam: Hi, Lily. You’ve got something new, haven’t you?
Lily: Yes, I have. It’s a gift from my uncle—a book about the ancient 
Greeks. It looks interesting, doesn’t it?
Sam: Yes, it does. I love reading about people like Archimedes. I want 
to be a scientist like him in the future.
Lily: You’re joking, aren’t you? You never liked science before.
Sam: I’ve started to like it. You like science too, don’t you?
Lily: Well, a little. Oh, I have to go to my club meeting. Bye.

Helen at the Olympics
In ancient Greece, most married women were not allowed to watch the Olympics. 
However, Helen, a brave woman, wanted to watch her son, Rodus, run. 
“I’m going to see you at the Olympics tomorrow,” said Helen. 
“But Mum, the king will be angry,” said Rodus. 
“Don’t worry. I’ll think of a way,” replied Helen.
The next day, Helen dressed as a soldier to attend the Olympics. She was soon caught. 
“Take her to prison,” said the king.
When you tell a story, you usually answer the five “w”s: who, 
what, when, where and why.

Cao Chong weighs an elephant
Cao Chong was the son of Cao Cao.
One day, Sun Quan sent Cao Cao a present. It was a huge elephant. Cao 
Cao wanted to find out the weight of the elephant.
“What a huge animal it is! Can anyone tell me how to weigh it?” he asked 
the crowd around him. 
“Can we get a large scale?” asked a soldier. However, no one could find a 
scale large enough. 
“Can we cut it up?” asked another soldier. 
“No. I don’t want to kill it,” said Cao Cao.
Just then, young Cao Chong had a wonderful 
idea. “I can weigh the elephant!” he said. 
“Let me have a try.”
Cao Chong asked some soldiers to lead the 
elephant onto a boat. As the heavy animal walked onto it, the boat went 
lower into the water. Cao Chong drew a line on the side of the boat to mark 
how low it went. The elephant was then taken off the boat and the boat was 
filled with rocks until it went down again and water reached the line on the 
boat.
Cao Chong then weighed the rocks. He added up the weight of all the rocks 
and said, “This is the weight of the elephant.”
Cao Cao was very happy with his son. “My son is very clever, isn’t he?” 
he said. Everyone agreed.

Study skills
Punctuation 
We use full stops (.), question marks (?) and exclamation marks (!) to end 
sentences. We also use other punctuation marks in sentences.
1 Commas (,)
We use commas:

 e.g. If 
a small rock is put in water, only a little water will be displaced.
2 Quotation marks (“…”)
We use quotation marks: 
•  to shoX direct speech
 e.g. “I like fish and chips,” said Mike.
•  around Xords that other people have used or Xords Xith a special 
meaning, e.g. Mark Twain is often called the “father of American 
literature”.
3 Apostrophes (’)
We use apostrophes: 
•  in contractions. 5hey are most often used in speech or informal Xriting
 
e.g. can’t (= cannot), it’s (= it is/has), I’d (= I would/had).

Many people consider Albert Einstein (1879–1955) 
a genius. This story about him shows that he also 
had a sense of humour.
Einstein often received invitations to explain 
his theories at different universities. On these 
trips, his driver Hans often said to him, “It’s a 
pleasure to drive a genius like you, Dr Einstein.”
One evening, on their way to a university, 
Einstein said, “I’m so tired. I wish I could avoid 
giving my lecture tonight, Hans, but I don’t want 
to let my audience down.”
“I know what to do,” said Hans. “I can give the 
lecture for you. You can trust me. I’ve listened 
to your lecture so many times that I’ve learnt it 
by heart. No one knows you at this university, so 
they won’t find out.”
So, they changed places. At the university, 
Hans was guided to the front of the hall. 
Einstein took a seat, listened to Hans give his 
lecture without difficulty, and joined in the 
applause at the end.
However, before Hans left, a man shouted, “I’d 
like to ask you a question.” He then asked a 
question so difficult that Hans had no idea what 
he was talking about.
Einstein turned pale. “Oh no!” he thought. “Now 
we’re in trouble.” But Hans just laughed and 
said, “That’s such an easy question that even my 
driver can answer it. Hans, please …”
Einstein stood up and answered the question 
perfectly.
They left the university, with Einstein driving. A little later, Hans offered to 
drive. “No,” laughed Einstein. “It’s a pleasure to drive a genius like you, 
Hans.”

Einstein and the little girl
One afternoon, Einstein was walking home from work. At the same time, 
a 12-year-old girl was walking home from school. They were soon walking 
side by side. The girl looked at him curiously from time to time. 
“Pardon me,” the girl said, “but you look just like Albert Einstein.”
“That’s because I am Albert Einstein!” Einstein said.
“I don’t believe you,” the girl said. “Everyone knows that Einstein is a 
genius. But you’re wearing your sweater backwards, so you can’t be very 
clever.”
Einstein began to laugh. “You’re the first person to be so honest with me,” 
he said to the girl. “It’s a pleasure to hear someone tell me the truth about 
my look.”
After that day, the girl often went to visit 
Einstein’s house after school. One afternoon, 
the girl’s mother went to visit Einstein. She 
asked him why he spent so much time with 
her daughter.
“Our friendship is easy to explain,” Einstein 
said. “Your daughter tells me the truth 
about my look and brings me cookies. In 
return, I help her with her Maths homework.”

Family life in cities
Paula interviewed two teenagers for a programme on family life. She asked them 
some questions. Here are their answers.
Jerry (aged 14)
1 
 My mum, dad, grandma and my sister Rosie. Although it sometimes feels 
crowded in our little flat, we don’t mind.
2  No, I haven’t got many possessions. I have no interest in things like 
fashionable clothes. New fashions soon go out of date, don’t they? That’s 
what my grandma says.
3  Yes, I help with the housework. I wash the dishes and even iron my own shirts. 
My grandma says young people should 
learn to look after themselves.
4  Yes, we like doing things together. We 
eat meals together every day, and my 
family always come to school events.
5  Yes, I suppose they set some rules for 
me. For example, unless I finish all my 
homework, I can’t watch TV, and I can’t 
go out with my friends either.
6  I love all my family very much. We have a close relationship, and we always 
support each other.
Emily (aged 15) 
1  Well, there are four of us: my mum, 
my dad, my brother Leo and me.
2  Have I got many possessions? Yes, 
I’ve got a lot of things: a big TV, a 
new computer and a mobile phone.
3  No, I’m not expected to do the 
housework. 
4  We go out for dinner together 
sometimes, but my dad is often 
abroad on business, and my mum 
works too. We usually just do our 
own personal things.
5  No, they don’t usually set rules for 
me, and since I’m a good daughter, 
they never punish me.
6 
Well, I like our new flat. It’s much 
bigger than our last one. But my 
brother and I feel lonely when our 
parents are away from home.

How to communicate with your parents
Many young people have trouble communicating with their parents. 
However, there are some very useful tips to help solve this problem.
First, make a list of the things you and your parents disagree about most. 
With each of these things, try to find an answer acceptable to both you and 
your parents. It is no good for you to require everything to go your way. 
You have to be ready to change a little if you want them to change.
Second, talk to your parents when it is convenient for them. Remember 
that your parents may have to work long hours and this can make them 
tired, so be patient with them.
Third, listen to what your parents have to say. How can 
you expect them to listen to you if you are not ready to 
listen to them? In addition, your parents were once young 
like you, so they understand your situation better than you 
expect. 
Finally, if you do not get a satisfactory result, try not to get too angry. 
Talk with your parents and find out their reasons. Part of growing up 
is learning to live with these kinds of disagreements, and learning to 
understand another person’s way of looking at things.
With a little hard work, you can learn to communicate better with your 
parents.
1 What must you be ready to do if you want your parents to change?
2 Why might your parents understand your situation better than you 
expect?
3 What is part of growing up?
B What kinds of problems do you have with your parents? How do you solve them? 
Discuss these with your classmates.

a diagram that looks like the branches of a 
tree. Some people can follow their family 
tree back in history for a long time. 
The family tree of Confucius is the longest

Aunt Linda’s advice page
Many newspapers and magazines have an advice page. People write to 
ask for help with their problems. The following Internet posts were written 
by four teenagers to an online newspaper. 
I’m worried about my friend Jolin. She wants to be a model 
and she’s thin, but she thinks she’s fat. She’s always on a 
diet. She’s getting too thin, but whenever I talk to her about 
this, she gets angry. How can I help her?
I went out with a group of friends yesterday. We saw a lady 
lying in the street. She looked very sick. My friends made 
jokes about her and laughed. Though I wanted to help her, 
my friends told me not to. It was awful of them to laugh 
at her, and I regret not saying anything. I feel ashamed of 
myself. What should I do in this situation?
I’ve just started wearing braces, but I hate them. I don’t 
see any advantage in wearing them. My friends all laugh at 
me and say bad things about me. I feel embarrassed when I 
smile or open my mouth. The braces hurt my teeth, and it’s 
difficult for me to eat. I feel it was a mistake for my mother 
to make me wear these ugly braces. What do you suggest?
I have to share a room with my seven-year-old sister, and 
she’s driving me mad! She has a habit of playing the piano

Dear Aunt Linda,
I read your advice page every week. It is very 
useful.
I have a problem with a classmate, and I need your 
advice.
Last week, I saw my classmate in the street. He 
was shouting at his mum. I was surprised to see 
this. He’s a polite student at school, but he wasn’t 
polite to his mum at all! I told my parents about 
his behaviour, but they said it was none of my 
business.
I want my classmate to stop shouting at his mum. 
Should I tell him so? What do you suggest?
Thanks for reading my email. I hope to hear from 
you soon.

More practice
 Read Aunt Linda’s replies to the Internet posts on page 51. Then complete the table 
below.
Dear Anna,
You’re right to be worried about your friend Jolin. She 
shouldn’t stay on a diet if she’s already very thin. You 
should try to get her to see a doctor. You should also tell 
her that she’s not alone—we all worry about our looks 
sometimes.
Dear Peter,
I believe you’ve learnt an important lesson—you’ll regret it if you don’t do 
the right thing at the right moment. Next time in the same situation, you 
should make up your own mind. You shouldn’t listen to your friends. It was 
awful of them to laugh at a sick lady.
Dear Simon,
Lots of people wear braces these days, so you’re not alone. If you stop 
paying attention to your friends, they’ll stop laughing at you. So don’t 
worry! I understand that it hurts sometimes, but think of the beautiful, 
straight teeth you’ll have in a few months’ time!
Dear Julie,
You should talk to your sister more. Ask her to play the piano only when 
you’re not studying. Let her borrow your things only if she asks you first. 
Perhaps she just wants more attention from you. Try spending some time 
with her every day and you’ll both learn how to live happily with each 
other.

Agony aunts 
In 1691, John Dutton in England had a 
problem, but he had no one to ask for 
advice. He thought that other people 
might be in a similar situation, so he 
began his own newspaper to give people 
advice. The newspaper proved to be 
quite successful, and soon many people 
started similar newspapers. Other 
newspapers also started to have advice 
columns. By 1740, however, most of the people giving advice were 
women. Today we call a person giving advice to readers in a newspaper 
or magazine an agony “aunt”.
 Who do you turn to for advice? Are there any agony aunts in China?

“Five minutes to go,” shouted the 
director. “Is everyone ready?”
“I’m glad that I’m not one of the 
contestants!” Denise said. “I’m not 
that brave.”
“Oh, I’d love to be a contestant,” said 
Angela.
The three contestants were sitting at 
their desks on the stage and waiting. 
The hot lights were shining down upon 
them. Suddenly one of them passed 
out and fell across her desk.
A cameraman helped the woman off 
the stage.
The director hurried down from 
the control room above. “We need 
another contestant,” he shouted. 
“Who among you wants to be on 
TV?”
Angela raised her hand. “You’re on!” 
the director shouted. He led her onto 
the stage, and a make-up artist rushed 
forward. She quickly put make-up on 
Angela’s face and brushed her hair.
“Ten seconds,” shouted the director. 
“It’s time for Travel Quiz, and here’s 
your host, Lester Li!” said a loud 
voice. Lester Li ran out onto the stage. 
The quiz show began.
Although Angela was not prepared, 
she seemed relaxed and did really well. 
She answered the questions with no 
problems and was soon ahead of the 
other two contestants.
Twenty-five minutes later, Angela just 
had to answer six more questions to 
beat the other contestants and to win 
the prize.
Denise was so excited that she could 
hardly keep still. Though the questions 
were getting more and more difficult, 
Angela kept getting them right. 
Soon there was just a single question 
between Angela and victory.
“And finally, where’s Big Ben?” asked 
Lester.
“In England,” replied Angela.
“Correct!” shouted Lester. “You’re 
tonight’s lucky winner. You’ve won 
tonight’s prize—a trip for two to the 
lovely city of Paris!”

Adverbial clauses of concession with although and though
We can use although or though to form an adverbial clause of 
concession.
Things to remember
 We cannot use although or though together with but in the same sentence.
 (✗)  Although/Though the questions were getting more and more difficult, but Angela 
kept getting them right.
 
(✓)  Although/Though the questions were getting more and more difficult, Angela kept 
getting them right.
 
(✓)  The questions were getting more and more difficult, but Angela kept getting them  
right.
Work out the rule
We use adverbial clauses of concession to (compare/contrast) 
two ideas.
We can also put the adverbial clause of concession after the main clause.

A Read the interview about two students’ visit to the Film Park and then answer the 
questions below.
Reporter:  
What was the best part of your visit, Julia and Roddy?
Julia and Roddy:  The tour of the Film Park. 
Reporter:  
What did you like most about the Film Park tour?
Julia:  
The Dinosaur Jungle was my favourite. It was hot and 
smelt like a real jungle. We saw some baby dinosaurs. 
Then a really  big one appeared. Although it was only a 
model, it looked very real! I almost jumped out of my 
skin!
Roddy: 
I really liked the Great Wave. It was wonderful. 
Everything was quiet. Then suddenly we saw a huge 
wave coming towards us. There was a terrible noise, 
and the wave seemed to come over the top of us, but we 
didn’t get wet at all! I don’t know how they did it.
Reporter:  
Did you see any famous stars at the film park?
Roddy:  
No, we didn’t, but we did visit a film set after the tour. 
The crew were shooting a scene showing some students 
in a school. They needed some more actors for the 
scene. To cut a long story short, the director chose me to 
appear in the film.
Reporter:  
Oh, really? Did you enjoy working as an actor, Roddy? 
Roddy:  
Yes, I did. It was really interesting. 
Reporter: 
Did you have any difficulty in acting?
Roddy:  
To be honest, it was a piece of cake!

Charts and graphs (4): Using tables to give information
Sometimes it is easier to give information in tables than to write it out 
in sentences or paragraphs. Information given in tables is often easier to 
understand.
A Simon is reporting the results of the survey on his classmates’ TV viewing habits. 
Read the paragraphs and the table below. Then answer the questions.
I interviewed my classmates about their TM viewing habits. I found 
that girls usually watch TM for an average of four hours and boys for 
an average of two and a half hours every week.
Most girls watch TM at the weekend. Their favourite TM programmes 
are dramas, quiz shows and cartoons. Boys often watch TM on 
weekdays after dinner. Their favourite programmes are cartoons, 
sport and news.

Doris and Samuel are having dinner in a restaurant.
Samuel: I think I’ll have a hamburger, some chocolate cake 
and a large cola. How does that sound to you?
Doris: 
That sounds terrible! I’ll have a chicken sandwich, a salad, an apple 
and a glass of lemon tea. I’ve decided to stay away from fried food 
and soft drinks.
Samuel: Since when?
Doris: 
Since I had my medical examination. The doctor said that I needed 
to lose a bit of weight by avoiding fat, oil and sugar. He also stated 
that it’s necessary for me to have a more balanced diet.
Samuel: What’s a balanced diet?
Doris: 
A balanced diet means having different kinds of healthy food every 
day. Research shows that each day you should have plenty of fruit, 
vegetables and grain products such as noodles and bread. And, in 
general you should have fewer dairy products and eggs, and less meat.
Samuel: But I believe my diet is balanced.
Doris: 
Really? Do you remember what you had today?
Samuel: Oh, the usual things. For breakfast, I had fried eggs and a large cup 
of coffee with a lot of milk and sugar. Then I treated myself to some 
ice cream for a snack.
Doris: 
And for lunch?
Samuel: For lunch, I had six chicken wings and a cola.
Doris: 
I don’t understand how that is a balanced diet!
Samuel: Well, I have many different kinds of 
food every day.
Doris: 
But all of these kinds of food are 
unhealthy for you.
Samuel: OK, you’re right. I’ll change my 
diet … tomorrow. Here comes my 
hamburger and chocolate cake!

Excellent English food at the Country House
Last Saturday night, my family and I ate at the 
Country House.
The Country House serves traditional English food. 
We paid about 15 to 20 pounds a person to eat 
there.
The food was wonderful. The fish pie reminded me 
of my grandma. She used to cook it for me. I also 
had some fish and chips, and it was fantastic.
The waiters were polite, but a little slow. We were 
seated at 7 p.m., but we did not receive our food 
until 7:40 p.m. 
I would certainly recommend the Country House 
for good, traditional English food. However, you 
should get there early and be prepared to spend a

The rice farmer
by Saoirse McCann
The Sun is setting low, the red sky a welcoming sight;
The farmer stands silently in the fading light.
The fields are watered and planted, the buffaloes are fed;
The only thing he thinks of now is finding home and bed.
A gentle wind is whispering of hope and dreams of life;
Every grain of rice requires such effort and such strife.
Remember, when you sit and eat with family or friends,
All the many hours he works, as his fields he tends.

The tale of the tomato
 
 Tomatoes were first grown in Central and 
South America. They were unknown to the 
rest of the world until the 16th century. In the 
beginning, many people in Europe refused to 
eat tomatoes because they thought the fruit 
was dangerous.
 
 Tomatoes first became common in the US in 
the 1820s. In one story, a man named Robert 
Johnson ate some tomatoes in public. Everyone in the town crowded 
around him to watch him die. When he did not die, they realized that 
tomatoes were safe to eat and no longer avoided them.

Tom Sawyer paints the fence
On Saturday morning, every boy in 
town was happy, except Tom Sawyer.
Tom’s aunt gave him a task of painting 
their fence. It was 30 yards long and 
3 yards high. He painted one board and 
surveyed his progress, and then he sat 
down to have a rest.
Tom began to think of the games that 
he wanted to play. He knew the boys 
who were free would soon come along 
and make fun of him. Just then, he had 
an idea. He picked up his brush and 
went back to work.
Ben Rogers came along the road. He 
was singing happily and carrying an 
apple.
“I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do 
you want to come? Oh, you have to 
work, don’t you? What a pity!”
“Work?” said Tom. “This isn’t work. 
I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a 
chance to paint a fence like this every 
day?” Then he went on painting.
Ben watched Tom in silence. He 
became more and more interested.
After a while, he said, “Tom, will you 
let me do some painting?”
Tom said, “No, Ben, I can’t. Aunt 
Polly warned me to do it well. I’m the 
only person that can do it right.”
“Oh, please, Tom,” said Ben. “I can 
do it. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you 
half my apple. Wait, I’ll give you all of 
it.”
“That’s a deal,” said Tom. “But you 
must be careful.”
Tom gave Ben his brush with worry 
on his face but joy in his heart. He 
sat down again and started to eat the 
apple.
When Ben got tired, Billy Fisher was 
waiting. He gave Tom a kite for the 
chance to paint. Then Johnny Miller 
offered him two toy soldiers.
Soon Tom had got many new toys, and 
the fence got three coats of paint. Aunt 
Polly was so pleased that she gave Tom 
a big apple!
Miss Liu wanted to encourage her students to read famous books, so she showed them 
this humorous story from a novel called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.

Relative clauses with who, that and which
We use relative clauses to give information about people and things. 
This relative clause gives information about “The boys”.
The boys who/that were free would soon come along.
This relative clause gives information about “the games”.
Tom began to think of the games which/that he wanted to play.
Work out the rule
Relative clauses about people start with ________ or ________. Those 
about things start with ________ or ________.
Things to remember
• We can use that to replace who and which in relative clauses like those 
above. However, who and which are more common in written English, while 
that is more often used in speech.
• We can leave out who, which or that in a relative clause when it is the object 
of the verb in the clause.
 
The book (which/that) he likes most is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
 
The writer (who/that) he likes most is Mark Twain.

Tom and Becky in the cave
Tom and Becky walked into the cave. They held 
their candles high and saw names and dates 
which were written on the walls by other people. 
Suddenly they were in a part of the cave without 
any writing on the walls. They used candle 
smoke to write their own names on the rock and 
then walked on.
Soon they came to a little stream of water. The 
cave wall looked like a frozen waterfall. Tom went behind the stone 
waterfall and found an opening in the rock. They started to walk down 
into the earth. They went deeper and deeper into the cave. Tom and 
Becky made many candle smoke marks on the walls to show the way 
back. It was exciting.
They soon found themselves in a huge open space that was full of bats. 
There were thousands of them. The light from their candles woke up the 
bats, and they flew at the candle flames. Tom knew this was dangerous, 
so he took Becky’s hand to hurry her away, but one of the bats followed 
and put out Becky’s candle with its wings. The bats followed them for 
a long time, but Tom and Becky ran into every new passage that they 
came to, and at last they got away from the bats.

The gifts
by O. Henry
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. 
That was all. Three times Della 
counted it. One dollar and eighty-
seven cents. And the next day would 
be Christmas. She could not afford a 
present, so she sat down and cried.
Jim and Della had two possessions which they were both proud of. One was 
Jim’s gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather. The other was 
Della’s beautiful hair. It fell about her, and reached below her knee.
Della put on her old brown jacket and her old brown hat. Then she went out of 
the door and down the stairs to the street.
She stopped at a store. The sign in front of the store read “Hair Goods”.
“Will you buy my hair?” asked Della.
“Twenty dollars,” the woman said.
Then Della searched through the stores looking for a present for Jim.
She found it at last. It was a watch chain. The bill was twenty-one dollars. 
At seven o’clock, the coffee was made and dinner was ready.
Jim was never late. Della heard his steps on the stairs.
The door opened and Jim walked in. He stopped inside the door. His eyes were 
fixed on Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read. 
“Jim,” she cried, “don’t look at me that way. I sold my hair to buy you a 
Christmas present.”
Jim drew a box from his pocket and put it on the table.
Della opened it. There lay the set of combs that she had always wanted. Now 
they were hers, but her hair was gone.
She smiled and held out Jim’s present. “I hunted all over town to find it. Give 
me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.”
Instead of obeying, Jim sat down, put his hands behind his head and smiled.
“Della,” he said, “I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs.”

I like O. Henry’s short stories. All 
of them are very interesting.
Perhaps you’re right, but I think 
some of the stories are too simple.
I’m sorry, but I don’t agree. I think 
his stories are out of date.

The most valuable gift
A Jimmy has written a short article about the most valuable gift he has ever received.
The most valuable gift I have ever received was 
a photo album from my best friend Bevin.
Bevin and I were classmates for all sio years of 
primary school. Ne both liked playing football 
and listening to music, so we always had a lot of 
things to talk about. It is wonderful to have such 
a good friend.
However, last summer, Bevin had to move to another city 
because of his father’s job. Then he gave me a photo album. 
“It has photos of the memorable events we have eoperienced 
together. Ive also written some notes under each photo,” he 
said. I was deeply moved.
I put the album beside my bed. I always look at it when I 
think of Bevin.
B Write a short article about the most valuable gift you have ever received. Follow the 
example in A. 
What is the gift?
Who gave it to you?
When did you receive it?
Why was it given to you?
Why is it valuable to you?

More practice
A Apart from “The gifts”, perhaps the most famous of O. Henry’s short stories is “The 
last leaf”. Read it and answer the questions below.
last leaf . Read it and answer the questions below.
At the top of a house Sue and Johnsy had their studio. In November, Johnsy 
became very ill, and was lying on her bed and looking through the window at 
the wall of the next house.
“Her only chance,” the doctor said, “is for her to want to live.”
After the doctor had gone, Sue came into Johnsy’s room. Johnsy was looking 
out of the window and counting.
“Six,” said Johnsy. “There goes another one. There are only five left now.”
“Five what, dear?”
“Leaves. On the ivy vine. I want to see the last one fall. Then I’ll die.”
“Johnsy, dear,” said Sue, “try to sleep. I must go and ask Behrman to be my 
model.”
Old Behrman was a painter. He was past 60 and earned a little money by being 
a model. Sue found Behrman and told him what Johnsy had said. Johnsy was 
sleeping when they went upstairs. They looked out of the window at the ivy 
vine. A cold rain was falling.
The next morning, there stood one ivy leaf. 
“It’s the last one,” said Johnsy. “It’ll fall today, and I’ll die.”
At night, the wind began to blow. The next morning, the leaf was still there.
“Something has made that last leaf stay there. It’s wrong to want to die,” said 
Johnsy to Sue. “Please bring me a little soup now.”
A few days later, the doctor said to Sue, “She’s out of danger.”
That afternoon, Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay.
“Mr Behrman died today,” she said. “He was wet and icy cold from being out 
all night. Do you know why the leaf never moved? Behrman painted it on the 
wall the night that the last leaf fell.”
*
1 Why did Johnsy think that she was going to die?
2 What made Johnsy decide to live?
3 What did Behrman do that cost him his life?
B Both “The gifts” and “The last leaf” are about people sacrificing for others. Can 
you think of any other similar stories? Share them with your classmates.

White elephants
 
 In ancient Thailand, white elephants were 
thought to be a gift from the gods. When 
a king had many white elephants, people 
believed that the country would have peace 
and wealth. However, white elephants were 
not allowed to work, and they cost a lot of 
money to keep. For this reason, the king 
might give a white elephant to a person who made him 
angry. That person would have to spend all his money taking care of the 
elephant, and get nothing in return.
 
 Today whenever we have something which costs us a lot of money and 
which we do not want or which is useless, we call it a white elephant.
 Have you ever received a white elephant? What was it, and what was wrong with it?

by O. Henry
“The gifts”:
•  is one of the most famous American short stories.
•   has been translated into many languages all over the world.
•  is popular with people of different ages.
•  is well known for its plot and surprise ending.
It is Christmas, and Della and Jim 
want to buy presents for each other. 
Della wants to buy a chain for Jim’s 
watch, while Jim wants to buy a set 
of combs for Della’s hair. But how 
can they do this when they have no 
money? Read this moving story by 
O. Henry to find out.
“The gifts” was written by O. Henry 
(1862–1910). O. Henry was an American 
writer who lived a very poor and difficult 
life. However, he loved his wife and 
daughter very much, and would do 
anything for them. This is very much like 
the characters in his stories.
