Fewer writers in the world have ever put into prison. And even fewer took great success in prison. While O. Henry, the famous short story writer, was one of him. O. Henry, his real name was William Sidney Porter, was born on September 11, 1862.

In 1884, O. Henry entered the First National Bank as teller (出纳). On February 10, 1896, Henry was said to have something to do with the disappearance of $1,150 from the bank. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment

In order to make money support his family, O. Henry began write stories to magazines. These stories became quiet popular with readers.

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于人物传记类短文，介绍了美国著名的短篇小说家欧亨利的生平事迹。

【1】read→reading 考查固定搭配。短语enjoy doing sth喜欢做某事；动名词reading作动词enjoy的宾语。

【2】ever和put之间加been 考查语态。本句主语fewer writers与动词短语put into prison构成被动关系，所以使用被动语态have been put into prison。

【3】took→achieved/gained 考查动词。动词take通常不和名词success连用，经常使用短语achieve/gain success表示“取得成功”。

【4】him→them 考查代词。第二句中提到复数名词writers，所以本句中使用them指代复数名词，him指代单数的男性。

【5】his→whose 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是O. Henry, 关系代词whose指代先行词，在句中做定语，修饰名词real name，构成whose real name在定语从句从句中做主语。

【6】as和teller之间加a 考查冠词。不定冠词a/an通常表示泛指，定冠词the表示特指。as a teller作为出纳。

【7】money和support之间加to 考查不定式用法。本句中用不定式作目的状语。句意：为了挣钱养活他的家人，欧亨利开始给杂志写故事。

【8】write→to write/writing 考查固定短语。短语begin to do sth/doing sth开始做某事；不定式短语to do sth或doing sth都作为begin的宾语。

【9】quiet→quite 考查词义辨析。形容词quiet意为“安静的”；副词quite表示“相当地”；本句中使用副词quite作状语修饰形容词popular。

【10】第一个in→on 考查介词短语。在英语中具体到某一天使用介词on。
