From 1893 he lived with his family in a house in Austin，Texas，which is now a museum. Visitors to Austin can see the house. It was saved from destruction (破坏) and turned into a museum in 1934.The museum is a good way to learn about the interesting life of the American writer.William Porter rented this house in Austin and lived there with his wife Athol and daughter Margaret for about two years. Many objects in the museum came from the Porters. Others did not. An important piece in the room is the original photo over here. It was taken there in the house about 1895.The piano there dates back to the 1860s.His wife took lessons on it when she first moved to Austin.Porter wasn't a successful writer in the beginning. He worked on a farm，in a land office and bank. He also loved words and writing. The museum has a special proof (证明) of Porter's love of language—his dictionary. It is said that he had read every word in that dictionary.Later William Porter was forced to leave Austin because he wascharged (指控) with wrongdoing at the bank and lost his job. Because he was afraid of a trial (审判)，he left the country secretly. But he returned because his wife was dying. After her death，he faced the trial and served three and a half years in a prison in Ohio.William Porter would keep his time in prison a secret. But there was one good thing about it. It provided him with time to write. By the time he was freed，he had published 14 stories and became well­known as O．Henry. Porter later moved to New York City and found great success there. He published over 180 stories in the last eight years of his life.12．O.Henry's house in Austin has been well kept so that ．A．Americans can study its historyB．more visitors will be attracted to AustinC．visitors can learn about O．Henry's lifeD．it can show the way of life in the 1860s13．Visitors can know that Porter was fond of language by ．A．a dictionary he usedB．the records the museum keepsC．the books he wroteD．the photo the museum shows14．Why did Porter escape from Austin?A．He didn't want to lose his job.B．He didn't want to make trouble.C．He meant to save his wife's life.D．He was afraid of being put into prison.15．From the last paragraph we know that ．A．Porter suffered a lot in prisonB．Porter became famous suddenlyC．Porter spent his time in prison writingD．life in prison provided what Porter could writeⅡ阅读填句(每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
