热考素材 名著选读 It was December and the snow was falling quietly outside. The four March sisters were sitting around the fire in their house. Sixteen-year-old Meg was the oldest of the four sisters. She loved pretty clothes. Jo was fifteen. She was very tall and thin. She didn't care about dresses. Beth was thirteen. She was very shy and quiet. Amy looked like a snow princess with her blue eyes and blonde hair. She loved beautiful things.

"Christmas isn't Christmas without any presents," Jo said sadly. "I hate being poor!" Meg said, looking at her old dress.
"Some girls have lots of nice things, and other girls have nothing at all," said Amy. "I don't think it's fair."
Then Jo said, "Our father can't stay with us now. He is far away with the soldiers."
"Mother says we mustn't spend money for pleasure," Meg said. "That's why we can't have presents."
"Well, each of us has a dollar to spend," said Jo. "I'd like to buy a book for myself."
"I want to spend mine on some new music," said Beth.
"I'm going to buy a box of drawing pencils. I really need them," said Amy. She wanted to be an artist.
"Mother didn't say anything about how to spend our own money," cried Jo. "We work hard for it, so let's buy what we want and have a little fun."
It was true. The two older sisters had jobs. They could make money.
Just then, Beth found her mother's slippers near the fire.
"Those slippers are very old," said Jo. "Mother needs some new ones."
"I have an idea," said Beth. "Let's not spend our money on ourselves. Let's get some presents for Mother."
Her sisters thought that she was right. They decided to buy some presents for their mother. At that moment, their mother came back home with a letter from their father. When they had dinner happily, Mother read the long letter. Father told the girls to be good to their mother and work hard. He wanted to be proud of them when he came back.
Before they went to bed, Beth played some songs and they all sang.
