25、e sound of singing. People were getting ready to bring in the New Year. But the poor little match seller sat sadly beside the fountain. Her ragged dress and worn scarf did not keep out the cold and she tried to keep her bare feet from touching the frozen ground. She hadnt sold one box of matches all

26、 day and she was frightened to go home, for her father would certainly be angry. It wouldnt be much warmer anyway, in the draughty attic (閣樓) that was her home. The little girls fingers were frozen with cold. If only she could light a match! But what would her father say at such a waste! Falteringly

27、 (遲疑地)she took out a match and lit it. What a nice warm flame! The little match seller cupped her hand over it, and as she did so, she magically saw in its light a big brightly burning stove. She held out her hands to the heat, but just then the match went out and the vision faded. The night seemed

28、blacker than before and it was getting colder. A shiver (寒噤) ran through the little girls thin body. After hesitating for a long time, she struck another match on the wall, and this time, the glimmer turned the wall into a great sheet of crystal. Beyond that stood a fine table laden with food and li

29、t by a candlestick. Holding out her arms towards the plates, the little match seller seemed to pass through the glass, but then the match went out and the magic faded. Poor thing: in just a few seconds she had caught a glimpse of everything that life had denied her: warmth and good things to eat. He

30、r eyes were filled with tears and she lifted her gaze to the lit windows, praying that she too might know a little of such happiness.She lit the third match and an even more wonderful thing happened. There stood a Christmas tree hung with hundreds of candles, glittering (閃爍) with tinsel (金屬箔) and co

31、lored balls. “Oh. How lovely!” shouted the little match seller, holding up the match. Then, the match burned her finger and went out. The light from the Christmas candles rose higher and higher, then one of the lights fell, leaving a trail behind it. “Someone is dying,” murmured the little girl, as

32、she remembered her beloved Granny who used to say: “When a star falls, a heart stops beating!” Scarcely aware of what she was doing, the little match seller lit another match. This time, she saw her grandmother. “Granny, stay with me!” she pleaded, as she lit one match after the other, so that her g

33、randmother could not disappear like all the other visions. However, Granny did not disappear but gazed smilingly at her. Then she opened her arms and the little girl hugged her crying: “Granny, take me away with you!” A cold day dawned and a pale sun shone on the fountain and the icy road. Close by

34、lay the lifeless body of a little girl surrounded by spent matches. “Poor little thing!” exclaimed the passers-by. “She was trying to keep warm!” But by that time, the little match seller was far away where there is neither cold, hunger nor pain.I Aims and Demands（教學目的和要求）To learn a story about the

The citizens of Hamelin were honest people who lived contentedly in their grey stone houses. The years

46、went by, and the town grew very rich. Then one day, an extraordinary thing happened to disturb the peace. Hamelin had always had rats, and a lot too. But they had never been a danger, for the cats had always solved the rat problem in the usual wayby killing them. All at once, however, the rats began

47、 to multiply.In the end, a black sea of rats swarmed over the whole town. First, they attacked the barns and storehouses then, for lack of anything better, they gnawed（啃）the wood, cloth or anything at all. The one thing they didnt eat was metal. The terrified citizens flocked to plead with the town

48、councilors（委員會）to free them from the plague of rats（鼠疫）. But the council had, for a long time, been sitting in the Mayors room, trying to think of a plan. “What we need is an army of cats!”But all the cats were dead.“Well put down poisoned food then”But most of the food was already gone and no poiso

49、n stopped the rats.“It just cant be done without help!” said the Mayor sadly.Just then, while the citizens milled around outside, there was a loud knock at the door. “Who can that be?” the city fathers wondered uneasily, mindful of the angry crowds. They gingerly opened the door. And to their surpri

50、se, there stood a tall thin man dressed in brightly colored clothes, with a long feather in his hat, and waving a gold pipe at them.“Ive freed other towns of beetles and bats,” the stranger announced, “and for a thousand florins, Ill rid you of your rats.”“A thousand florins!” exclaimed the Mayor. “

51、Well give you fifty thousand if you succeed!” At once the stranger hurried away, saying, “Its late now, but at dawn tomorrow, there wont be a rat left in Hamelin!”The sun was still below the horizon, when the sound of a pipe wafted through the streets of Hamelin. The pied piper slowly made his way t

52、hrough the houses and behind him flocked the rats. Out they scampered from doors, windows and gutters (溝), rats of every size, all after the piper. And as he played, the stranger marched down to the river and straight into the water, up to his middle. Behind him swarmed the rats and every one was dr

53、owned and swept away by the current.By the time the sun was high in the sky, there was not a single rat in the town. There was even greater delight at the town hall, until the piper tried to claim his payment. “Fifty thousand florins?” exclaimed the councilors, “Never”“A thousand florins at least!”

54、cried the pied piper angrily. But the Mayor broke in. “The rats are all dead now and they can never come back. So be grateful for fifty florins, or youll not get even that”His eyes flashing with anger, the pied piper pointed a threatening finger at the Mayor.“Youll bitterly regret ever breaking your

55、 promise,” he said, and disappeared.A shiver of fear ran through the councilors, but the Mayor shrugged and said excitedly, “Weve saved fifty thousand florins!”That night, freed from the nightmare of the rats, the citizens of Hamelin slept more soundly than ever. And when the strange sound of piping

56、 wafted through the streets at dawn, only the children heard it. Drawn as by magic, they hurried out of their homes. Again, the pied piper paced through the town, this time, it was children of all sizes that flocked at his heels to the sound of his strange piping. The long procession soon left the t

57、own and made its way through the wood and across the forest till it reached the foot of a huge mountain. When the piper came to the dark rock, he played his pipe even louder still and a great door creaked open. Beyond lay a cave. In trooped the children behind the pied piper, and when the last child

58、 had gone into the darkness, the door creaked shut. A great landslide（山崩）came down the mountain blocking the entrance to the cave forever. Only one little lame boy escaped this fate. It was he who told the anxious citizens, searching for their children, what had happened. And no matter what people did, the mountain never gave up its victims. Many y
