ТРЕНИРОВОЧНЫ Е УПРАЖ НЕНИЯ
При выполнении заданий на словообразование обращайте внимание на
контекст. Определяйте, какое слово требуется в предложении — имя су
ществительное, прилагательное, глагол или наречие, а также не должно ли
оно иметь отрицательное значение.
Преобразуйте, если необходимо, слова, напечатанные заглавными буквами
в конце строк так, чтобы они грамматически соответствовали содержанию
текстов. Заполните пропуски полученными словами. Task 1 j
On Sam’s face was a n _________________ of sorrow, EXPRESS

But very_________________ and inexorably he buckled FIRM
his saddle-cinches, looped his stake-rope and hung it to

ONE dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in
pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the 1
________________ (GROCERY) and the vegetable man and the butcher
until one’s cheeks burned with the silent 2 _________________ (IMPUTE)
of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it.
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.
There was 3 _________________ (CLEAR) nothing to do but flop down
on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral 4
(REFLECT) that life is made up of sobs, sniffles,
and smiles, with sniffles predominating.
While the mistress of the home is 5 _________________ (GRADUAL)
subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home.
A furnished flat at $ 8 per week. It did not exactly beggar 6
_________________ (DESCRIBE), but it certainly had that word on the
lookout for the mendicancy squad.
In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go,
and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring. Also
appertaining thereunto was a card bearing the name “Mr James Dillingham Young”.
The “Dillingham” had been flung to the breeze during a former period
of 7 _________________ (PROSPEROUS) when its 8 ________________
(POSSESS) was being paid $30 per week. Now, when the income was
shrunk to $20, though, they were thinking 9 _________________ (SERIOUS)
of contracting to a modest and unassuming D. But whenever Mr James
Dillingham Young came home and reached his flat above he was called
“Jim” and. 1 0 _________________ (GREAT) hugged by Mrs James Dillingham
Young, already introduced to you as Della. Which is all very good.
Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag.
She stood by the window and looked out 1 1 _________________ (DULL) - 15 -
at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard. Tomorrow would be
Christmas Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present.
She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result.
Twenty dollars a week doesn’t go far. Expenses had been greater than she
had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her
Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him.
Something fine and rare and sterling — something just a little bit near to being 1 2
(WORTH) of the honor of being owned by Jim.
There was a pier glass between the windows of the room. Perhaps you
have seen a pier glass in an $ 8 flat. A very thin and very agile person may,
by observing his reflection in a rapid 1 3 _________________ (SEQUENTIAL)
of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurate 1 4 ________________
(CONCEIVE) of his looks. Della, being slender, had mastered the art.
1 5 _________________ (SUDDEN) she whirled from the window and
stood before the glass. Her eyes were shining brilliantly, but her face had lost
its color within twenty seconds. 1 6 _________________ (RAPID) she pulled
down her hair and let it fall to its full length.
Now, there were two 1 7 ________________ (POSSESS) of the James
Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a 1 8 ________________
(MIGHT) pride. One was Jim’s gold watch that had been his father’s and
his grandfather’s. The other was Della’s hair. Had the queen of Sheba lived
in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the
window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty’s jewels and gifts.
Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his treasures piled up in the
basement, Jim would have pulled out his watch every time he passed, just to
see him pluck at his beard from envy.
So now Della’s 1 9 _________________ (BEAUTY) hair fell about her
rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her
knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again
2 0 _________________ (NERVE) and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute
and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet.
On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl
of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the
door and down the stairs to the street. - 16 -
Where she stopped the sign read: “Mme. Sofronie. Hair Goods of All
Kinds.” One flight up Della ran, and collected herself, panting. Madame,
large, too white, chilly, hardly looked the “Sofronie.”
“Will you buy my hair?” asked Della.
“I buy hair,” said Madame. “Take yer hat off and let’s have a sight at the looks of it.”
Down rippled the brown cascade.
“Twenty dollars,” said Madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand.
“Give it to me quick,” said Della.
Oh, and the next two hours tripped by on rosy wings. Forget the hashed
metaphor. She was ransacking the stores for Jim’s present.
She found it at last. It 2 1 ________________ (SURE) had been made for
Jim and no one else. There was no other like it in any of the stores, and she
had turned all of them inside out. It was a platinum fob chain simple and
chaste in design, properly proclaiming its value by substance alone and not
by meretricious 2 2 _________________ (ORNAMENT) — as all good things
should do. It was even worthy of The Watch. As soon as she saw it she knew
that it must be Jim’s. It was like him. 2 3 ________________ (QUIET) and
value — the description applied to both. Twenty-one dollars they took from
her for it, and she hurried home with the 87 cents. With that chain on his
watch Jim might be properly 2 4 ________________ (ANXIETY) about the
time in any company. Grand as the watch was, he sometimes looked at it on
the sly on account of the old leather strap that he used in place of a chain.
When Della reached home her 2 5 _________________ (INTOXICATE)
gave way a little to 2 6 ________________ (PRUDENT) and reason. She got
out her curling irons and lighted the gas and went to work repairing the
ravages made by 2 7 _________________ (GENEROUS) added to love. Which
is always a tremendous task, dear friends — a mammoth task.
Within forty minutes her head was covered with tiny, close-lying
curls that made her look 2 8 ________________ (WONDER) like a truant
schoolboy. She looked at her 2 9 ________________ (REFLECT) in the
mirror long, carefully, and 3 0 ________________ (CRITIC).
“If Jim doesn’t kill me,” she said to herself, “before he takes a second look at
me, he’ll say I look like a Coney Island chorus girl. But what could I do —
oh! what could I do with a dollar and eighty-seven cents?” - 17 -
At 7 o’clock the coffee was made and the frying-pan was on the back of
the stove hot and 3 1 ________________ (READINESS) to cook the chops.
Jim was never late. Della doubled the fob chain in her hand and sat on
the corner of the table near the door that he always entered. Then she heard
his step on the stair away down on the first flight, and she turned white for
just a moment. She had a habit of 3 2 _________________ (SAY) a little silent
3 3 -----------------------(PRAY) about the simplest everyday things, and now
she whispered: “Please God, make him think I am still pretty.”
The door opened and Jim stepped in and closed it. He looked thin and
very serious. Poor fellow, he was only twenty-two — and to be burdened
with a family! He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves.
Jim stopped inside the door, as 3 4 _________________ (MOVABLE) as a
setter at the scent of quail. His eyes were fixed upon Della, and there was
an 3 5 -----------------------(EXPRESS) in them that she could not read, and
it terrified her. It was not anger, nor surprise, nor 3 6 ________________
(APPROVAL), nor horror, nor any of the sentiments that she had been
prepared for. He 3 7 ________________ (SIMPLE) stared at her fixedly with
that peculiar expression on his face.
Della wriggled off the table and went for him.
“Jim, darling,” she cried, “don’t look at me that way. I had my hair cut
off and sold because I couldn’t have lived through Christmas without giving
you a present. It’ll grow out again — you won’t mind, will you? I just had
to do it. My hair grows 3 8 ________________ (AWFUL) fast. Say ‘Merry
Christmas!’ Jim, and let’s be happy. You don’t know what a nice — what a
beautiful, nice gift I’ve got for you.”
“You’ve cut off your hair?” asked Jim, laboriously, as if he had not arrived
at that patent fact yet even after the hardest mental labor.
“Cut it off and sold it,” said Della. “Don’t you like me just as well,
anyhow? I’m me without my hair, ain’t I?”
Jim looked about the room curiously.
“You say your hair is gone?” he said, with an air almost of idiocy.
“You needn’t look for it,” said Della. “It’s sold, I tell you — sold and gone,
too. It’s Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it went for you. Maybe the
hairs of my head were numbered,” she went on with sudden serious - 18 -
3 9 ________________ (SWEET), “but nobody could ever count my love for
you. Shall I put the chops on, Jim?”
Out of his trance Jim seemed quickly to wake. He enfolded his Della.
For ten seconds let us regard with discreet scrutiny some inconsequential
object in the other 4 0 _________________ (DIRECT). Eight dollars a week
or a million a year — what is the 4 1 _________________ (DIFFER)? A
mathematician or a wit would give you the wrong answer. The magi brought
4 2 ________________ (VALUE) gifts, but that was not among them. This
dark 4 3 _________________ (ASSERT) will be illuminated later on.
Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table.
“Don’t make any mistake, Dell,” he said, “about me. I don’t think there’s
anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make
me like my girl any less. But if you’ll 4 4 (WRAP) that
package you may see why you had me going a while at first.”
White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an
ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical
tears and wails, necessitating the immediate 4 5 ________________
(EMPLOY) of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat.
For there lay The Combs — the set of combs, side and back, that Della
had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise
shell, with jewelled rims — just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished
hair. They were 4 6 ________________ (EXPENSE) combs, she knew, and
her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope
of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have
adorned the coveted 4 7 ________________ (ADORN) were gone.
But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up
with dim eyes and a smile and say: “My hair grows so fast, Jim!”
And then Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, “Oh, oh!”
Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him
4 8 ________________ (EAGER) upon her open palm. The dull precious
metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit.
“Isn’t it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You’ll have to
look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.” - 19 -
Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands
under the back of his head and smiled.
“Dell,” said he, “let’s put our Christmas presents away and keep ’em a
while. They’re too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the
money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on.”
The magi, as you know, were wise men — wonderfully wise men —
who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of
giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones,
possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of 4 9 ________________
(DUPLICATE). And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful
chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most 5 0 ________________
(WISELY) sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But
in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts
these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are
wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. - 20 - GLOSSARY
