4 . It was December and the snow was falling quietly outside. The four March sisters were sitting around the fire in the parlor.
“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.”
“But we’ve got Father and Mother, and each other,” said Beth. The four sisters looked happy for a moment when they remembered this.
Then Jo said, “But we haven’t got Father.” Their smiles suddenly disappeared（消失）. Mr. March was far away with the soldiers（士兵）.
“Mother says our men are suffering and we mustn’t spend money for pleasure,” Meg said, “That’s why we can’t have presents this year.”
“Well, each of us has a dollar（美元）to spend,” said Jo, “What can the army（军队）do with four dollars? Nothing! I don’t expect anything from Mother, but I really would like to buy a book for myself.” Jo had a passion for books.
“I want to spend mine on some new music,” said Beth. She played the piano and she loved singing.
“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 spending 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. Meg worked as a teacher for the King family and Jo looked after Aunt March, their father’s rich, bad-tempered old aunt Beth and Amy helped with the housework.
Just then the clock struck six. Beth got up and put her mother’s slippers（拖鞋）near the fire to warm.
“Those slippers are very old,” said Jo, “Mother needs some new ones.”
“I can buy a pair for her with my dollar,” said Beth.
“No, I’m the oldest,” Meg said, “I want to buy the slippers for her.”
“No, it’s my job,” said Jo. “Father told me to take care of Mother while he was away.”
“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 this was a very good idea.

“Mum, can you give me something for my time capsule(胶囊)?”
Mum looks up from her book. Suddenly she’s interested.
“Your what?”
“My time capsule. It’s for a school project.”
“What’s a time capsule?”
Jan can’t believe her mum doesn’t know what a time capsule is. Everyone knows what a time capsule is.
“A time capsule… you know.”
“No, I don’t know.”
“You put things inside it and then you bury (埋) it in the garden for someone to find in the future. That’s why it’s called a time capsule.”
Mum puts down her book. She drinks some more tea and looks at Jan.
“What do you put inside?”
“Things. Personal things, a letter … things related to (与……有关) now … this year … a diary or a newspaper, for example.” Jan looks at the apple juice. “Or a bottle of apple juice. When the person finds the time capsule in the future, they can find out things about the past. They can read the newspaper. They can find out what people ate and drank, and they can find out about … me.”
“How do you know someone is going to find it?”
“I don’t.”
“I see. And this is a school project?”
“Yes. It’s for History. For Mrs. Zinger. I want something to put the things into. I need a container (容器). Have you got anything? Please?”
“What kind of thing?”
“I don’t know. A box? I need something strong to protect the things inside.”
Mum looks around the room and thinks. Suddenly she has an idea. She goes to the cupboards and takes out a large old biscuit tin(饼干盒). “Here it is,” she says, opening the tin and looking inside.
Jan remembers the old biscuit tin with its bright pictures of traditional winter scenes from a perfect past.
“You always liked this old biscuit tin. Is it OK for your time capsule?”
“Thanks, mum. It’s perfect.”
Mum remembers something. She goes to the living room and comes back with a newspaper.
“It’s today’s newspaper.”

10 . Mrs. March, the girls and Laurie sat together on a November afternoon when Hannah hurried into the room with a telegram (电报). Mrs. March read it, then dropped (落下) it to the floor, her face white. Jo picked up the telegram and read it to the others in a frightened (害怕的) voice.
Mrs. March:
Your husband is very ill. Come at once.
S. Hale,
Blank Hospital, Washington.
The girls and their mother became very sad in a moment.
“I shall go at once,” said Mrs. March, “but it may be too late. Oh, my children!”
For a few minutes, there was only the sound of crying, then Hannah hurried away to get things ready for the long journey (旅程).
“Where’s Laurie?” Mrs. March asked.
“Here,” said the boy. “Oh, let me do something!”
“Send a telegram and say that I’ll come at once,” said Mrs. March. “The next train goes early in the morning. Now, I must write a note to Aunt March. Jo, give me that pen and paper.”
Jo knew that her family must borrow the money for the journey from Aunt March, and she too wanted to do something to help her father.
Laurie came back with a letter and money from Aunt March, but Jo did not go back. It was late afternoon when she came walking in and gave her mother some money.
“That’s to help make Father comfortable and to bring him home,” she said.
“Twenty-five dollars!” said Mrs. March. “My dear, where did you get it?”
Jo took off her hat.
“Jo, how could you?” cried Meg.
“My dear girl, there was no need for this,” said Mrs. March.
“She doesn’t look like my Jo, but I love her dearly for doing it!” said Beth, and began to cry.
“Don’t cry, Beth,” said Jo. “I’ll soon have curly (卷曲的) hair again, which will be short and easy to keep tidy.”
