B. 大学英语精读5第二课故事梗概

第五单元又喜又悲的圣诞节是怎么回事？又悲又喜的圣诞节圣诞节快到了。我想要一匹小马。为了让爸爸妈妈切实了解这一点，我特意宣布，别的我什么也不想要。“除了小马什么也不要？”爸爸问。“什么也不要。”我说。“即使是一双高统靴也不要？”这倒让我为难了。我的确想要双靴子，但我还是坚持只要小马。“不要，即使靴子也不要。”“糖果也不想要？总该有些东西把你的长统袜子塞满吧，再说圣诞老人也没法把小马进袜子里去呀。”这话不假，而且圣诞老人也没法牵着小马从烟囱里下来。但是不行。“我只要一匹小马，”我说。“得不到小马，就什么也别给我，别给我。”圣诞节前夕，我把我的长统袜跟姐妹们的挂在一起。第二天早晨，我和姐妹们六点就醒了。接着我们就冲下楼，来到壁炉前。嘿，礼物全放在那儿，各种各样的奇妙玩意儿，一堆一堆的礼物，混合交杂在一起。只有我的长统袜是空的，软绵绵地挂在那儿，里面空无一物，袜子下方和四周——什么也没有。我的姐妹们已经跪下，每个人都跪在自己那堆礼物旁边；她们高兴地叫呀嚷呀，直到抬起头见我站在那儿，一副可怜巴巴的样子才闭住口。她们走到我跟前，摸了摸我的袜子：什么也没有。当时我究竟哭没哭，我不记得了，但我的姐妹们确实是哭了。她们一起跟我跑回到我的床边，在那儿我们一块儿放声大哭，一直哭到我心里横生出一股怒气。这样一来，心里好受了些。我站起来，穿好衣服，把姐妹们统统从身边赶跑，独自走出屋子，来到马厩里，就我一个人守在那儿低声抽泣。母亲来到我身边，竭力想安慰我。但我根本不需要什么安慰。她离开我，一边大声数落着父亲一边向屋里走去。姐妹们来到我跟前，但我对她们很粗鲁。我从她们身边跑开了。我绕到房子前面，坐在台阶上；哭过以后，我感到阵阵心酸。哭过以后，我感到阵阵心酸。我错了，我受伤了。父亲心里肯定也有点不好受。我看见他正从窗口朝外张望。有一两个钟头，他大概一直在留神我的动静；他只把窗帘掀开一点儿，生怕我发现他，但我还是看到他的脸。我觉得现在我还能看到他脸上的忧虑神情，那种担心而又焦急的神情。一两个钟头后，我突然看见有人骑着一匹小马打街那头过来了——一匹小马，马背上还配着一副崭新的马鞍子，一副我所看到过的最漂亮的马鞍子，而且是一副供小男孩使用的马鞍子。还有那匹小马！当那人走近里，我看到那可真是匹地地道道的小马，一身乌黑的鬃毛，一条乌黑的尾巴，有一只雪白的跗节，额上有一块白灿灿的星斑。要是能有这样一匹马，我愿意付出任何代介。那人一路骑过来，挨家看着门牌，可就在我的希望——我的不可能实现的希望——在心里升起时，他却看了看我们家的大门走过去了——他，连同那匹小马和那副马鞍子。我再也受不了啦。我扑倒在台阶上，哇地失声痛哭起来。突然我听到一个说话的声音。“喂，小弟弟，”那声音说。“你认识一个叫伦尼.蒂芬的小男孩吗？”我抬起头。原来就是那个骑着小马的人，他又回来了。“认识，”我流着眼泪，慌乱而兴奋地说。“就是我。顺便说一下，我目前上的ABC天丅口语的助教才和我提过 如果想征服英语是很容易的！必然需要个适合的研习环境跟进修口语对象 外教水平很重要，标准口音(建议找欧美外教)才是最好，持续逐日口语交流 1 on 1家教式教学就有最.好.的学习成果..课后记得重听录音文档 把所学知识融会贯通~然后要是真的无口语交谈的人，只能上听力室或BBC获得课余教材学习，多说多问迅速的英语水平就提升起来 整体效果是绝对突飞猛进的~”“噢，”他说。“这么说这是你的马了。我到处在找你，找你们家的房子。你们干吗不把门牌挂在显眼的地方呢？”“下来，”我一边说，一边向他奔去。我要骑马。他还在往下说，说什么“本该七点钟就到这里，但是——”我差不多一句话也没听进去，我简直等不及了。我太高兴了，太激动了。我策马沿着大街往前跑。这么漂亮的一匹小马。而且是我的！过了一会儿，我掉转马头，催马小跑着返回马厩。全家人都在那儿了，爸爸、妈妈、姐妹们。他们都在为我张罗着，个个兴高采烈。他们把干我这一新行当所需要的用具——马梳子、刷子、干草叉——全部养马用具安放得井井有条，而且草料棚里还堆有干草。可是，我父亲如此精心安排的那个圣诞节，是我一生中所经历的最好的一次还是最糟的一次圣诞节呢？他常常问我这个问题。小时候我始终回答不上来。现在，我觉得那个圣诞节既是最好的，又是最糟的。因为在这一天里，先是令人心碎的痛苦，继而是极度的喜悦，从一个极端跳到另一个极端——变换得实在太快了。就是一个成年人，恐怕也难以承受得了吧。
