Question

阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。

　　

    O. Henry's last words, spoken with a smile, were "I don't want to　　 go home in the dark." If he could return to us he would find that he　　 didn't go home in the dark, but that an increasing radiation shines　　 about his name and fame. His novels appear today not only in English　　 but also in French, German, Swedish, and Japanese.

　　

    In his boyhood it was not writing that interested O. Henry, but it　　 was the cartoonist (漫画家的) art. To our way of thinking, no such　　 youthful genius in pencil sketch (素描) had yet appeared. Later on he　　 tried his hand as editor of "The Rolling Stone" in Austin, Texas, and　　 as reporter on the Houston "Post". After his move to New York, he　　 showed great interest in drama (戏剧), poem, the musical comedy (喜　　 剧), and the personal novel.
