一．阅读理解（满分30分，每小题2分）
A
When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor in the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a rious back dia. She couldn’t afford the operation becau her family was poor.
Her mother ran a boarding hou in Galveston, a aside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript
（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she nt it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghou, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s. My father then t out to ll it. Eventfully, he found himlf in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.
