It was the last evening of the old year. In the cold and darkness there went 16 the street a poor little girl, with bare feet.

She carried a small bundle of matches in her hand, and a lot 17 in her broken apron (围裙). No one had bought any all day long. Trembling with cold and hunger, the girl walked on and on. 18 poor little child!

In a corner, she sat down, but she could not warm herself. She was 19 to go home, she had earned(赚)not a coin, and perhaps her father would 20 her, and her home was almost as cold as the street. Her hands were nearly dead with cold. She struck one match against the wall, and held her hands 21 the flame(火焰).She wanted to warm her small hands. It was quite a magic light. She found herself 22 before a large iron-stove. How warm it was!As the child wanted to warm her feet, the flame 23 , and the stove disappeared. The little girl sat cold and hungry, with the burnt match in her hand.

A second match was lighted. She saw a table 24 delicious food. The roast goose stood at one end, with knife and folk in her breast, jumped down from the dishes, and came to the poor child. The match was burnt out and only the thick, 25 wall was beside her.

She struck 26 match; this time, her gentle and loving grandmother came up, bright and happy as she had never looked during her lifetime.

“Grandma!” 27 the child,“Oh, take me with you!I know that you will leave me 28 the match goes out.”And she lighted all the matches hurriedly; she would like 29 her old grandmother disappearing. Her kind, old and beautiful grandmother took the little girl in her arms, and they both flew high together, until they were in that place where neither cold, nor hunger, nor 30 is ever known.

The next morning, the little girl was found dead in the corner, with a smile on her face. ( )16.A.away ( )17.A.many ( )18.A.What a
