with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Merimee, as the March girls
called their mother.
The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with
the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to
show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.
The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. "Your husband is
very ill," it said, "come at once." The girls tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited
and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of a sick neighbor. She became
very ill but began to recover by the time Merimee was back. When Father came home from the front and at
that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.
Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after
a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy
had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never
fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.
Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Mareches". Jo went to New York and
became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home
the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn"t live much longer to be
with her family, and in the springtime she died.
News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be
married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer, and
soon afterwards founded a school for boys.
And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love
and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.

or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, 3 for the 3,000-meter run.
" Ready … set …" The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed 4 me. I felt 5 as I fell
farther and farther behind.
" Hooray!" shouted the crowd. It was the loudest 6 I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner
was two laps (圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.
" Maybe I should 7 ," I thought as I moved on. 8 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I
ran 9 and decided not to 10 in track next year. It wouldn"t be worth it, 11 my foot did heal.
When I finished, I heard a cheer- 12 than the one I"d heard earlier. I turned around and 13 , the boys were
preparing for their race." They must be cheering for the boys." I was leaving 14 several girls came up to me.

| My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read:"Mm. Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (视觉模糊) ever since her medical test this morning." I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems. This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting ( 用......代替) St. John"s word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes. My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She" s probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn"t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone. What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why. Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose (诊断), treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too. | |||||||||||
