Sue looked out of the window. All she saw was an old yellow and green ivy(常青藤)plant. The halfdead plant had few leaves on it because of the autumn winds.
“There are only five，now，” said Joanna.
“Five what，dear？What are you counting？”
“The ivy leaves，” Joanna answered. “When the last one goes，I'll die. I've known that for two days. Didn't the doctor tell you about it？”
“Joanna，don't say that. Now，eat some soup and I'll finish my picture.”
“I don't want any soup，” said Joanna，looking out of the window. “Now there are only four.”
“Joanna dear，try to sleep. I must ask Mr Berman to come up. I want to draw a picture of him as a poor old farmer.”
Mr Berman，who was over 60 years old，lived downstairs. He was a painter too，but he never sold anything，and he drank a lot. Sue told him all about what Joanna was saying.
“She can't really think about this will happen！The poor woman！” he cried.
…
Finally there was only one last leaf on the ivy plant. After a few windy days，the leaf was still there.
“Susie，” said Joanna，“I've been a bad girl. That last leaf is telling me that it was very wrong of me to want to die. Bring me some soup，dear.”
The next day，the doctor said，“She's out of danger. But poor Mr Berman downstairs is dying. There's no hope for him，I'm afraid.”
That afternoon Sue went into Joanna's bedroom.
“Joanna dear，Mr Berman died today. And do you know why？One terrible，cold wet night he took a ladder and some green and yellow paint and he climbed up，and— oh，look at the last ivy leaf on the wall！Why didn't it ever move in the wind？Can't you see？It was Mr Berman's last great picture. He painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”
1.Why didn't Joanna want to have soup in the beginning?
A.Joanna was waiting for death. B.The doctor asked her not to have it.
C.The soup Sue cooked was not tasty. D.She was not hungry or thirsty at all.

B.Mr Berman liked drinking very much and often drank a lot.
C.Mr Berman owned a lot of money by selling his paintings.
D.Mr Berman died after he painted the ivy leaf on a cold night.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Sue told Joanna that she went downstairs to Mr Berman's house to ask him for help.
B.Sue didn't tell Joanna what happened to Mr Berman when he was painting the ivy leaf.
C.Joanna knew that the last leaf she saw was painted by Mr Berman before Sue told her.
D.Joanna stayed alive in the end probably because of the last ivy leaf painted on the wall.

When I came out of my office, it was dark. In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was _______ along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. I broke the _______on purpose, for fear that the driver might be too _______ to drive., “When do you go back home in the evening?”
“9 o’clock. I’ll go after this trip.”
“Then when do you come out in the morning?” I _______ another question, “9 o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from the _______is only complaints. They complain that they have to work from morning till night, that it is _______to earn money, that they are bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the company leaders are seated _______ and enjoy the _______of others’ work.

If it goes __________ , I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a (an) __________ street. In this way I always get customers.”
His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he __________ in his job. Such feelings are so rare among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountains. As an ancient saying__________ “Neither joy in material gains nor grieve over personal setbacks (挫折).” How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a __________mind?
