Ⅲ.阅读理解
Knowing that Mrs.Mallard was suffering from a heart trouble，great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.It was her sister Josephine who told her in broken sentences.Her husband's friend Richards was there，too，near her.It was he who had been in the newspaper office when news of
the railroad disaster was received，with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of “killed”．
He had only taken the time to confirm Brently Mallard's death，and had stopped any less careful friend from bearing the sad message quickly.She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same，with a paralyzed (麻木的) look to accept its significance.She cried at once，with sudden，wild abandonment，in her sister's arms.When the storm of sadness had spent itself，she went away to her room alone.She would have no one follow her.
There would be no one to live with her during those coming years; she would live by herself.She kept whispering.Josephine standing before the closed door said，“Louise，open the door! I beg.What are you doing，Louise？For heaven's sake open the door.”
“Go away.I am not making myself ill.” No; her fancy was running along those days ahead of her.All sorts of days would be her own.She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long.It was only yesterday she thought with a shudder (发抖) that life might be long.She arose and opened the door to her sister's demands.There was a great success in her eyes，and she carried herself like a goddess of victory.
She walked down the stairs.Richards waited for her.Someone was opening the front door with a key.It was Brently Mallard.He had been far from the scene of the accident，and did not even know there had been one.He stood amazed at Josephine's scream; at Richards' quick move to keep him out of the view of his wife.But Richards was too late.When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease of the joy that kills.
