Although I’ve started to adjust well to my life at home, I really miss the familiar rhythm of school life.

She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat. Above all, we had a family and we loved each other. We were not poor at all. But there were many children who didn't. They were the people who really needed the toys. Eventually she asked me to take the two toys back to school and put them in Mrs. Harper's box.Mrs. Harper said she understood chat mama meant. And after school, she took me and some of my classmates to the street to hand out those toys. When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what mama had told me. Mama was long gone. But her words have stayed with me all the time.【解析】【分析】这是一篇读后续写。【详解】1.第一段给出的首句是Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“她拉着我的手,带我参观了我们的房子,说我们有房子住,我们有足够的食物。”入手扩展开去,——无论从何角度拓展,需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。2.第二段所给首句Mrs. Harper said she understood what mama meant.这一句呼应前文,紧接着可以从“放学后,她带我和我的一些同学到街上分发那些玩具。”入手续写。【点睛】这篇续写,段落衔接紧密,语句环环相扣,层次清晰,文中使用高级句子。She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat.句中使用并列的宾语从句;But there were many children who didn’t.定语从句用在句中;When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what mama had told me.句中使用when引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句。钢城四中2019-2020(下)五月月考试卷听力材料Text 1W: Excuse me, can you answer some of my questions?

When I was a child I used to look forward to Saturday mornings. That was when my brother, Bernard, and I got our pocket money from our father. I would put half of it in my moneybox, and run off happily with the rest to Bartlett’s, the little, local shop at the end of our street. All Mrs. Bartlett had were a few things arranged on a simple wooden shelf. But to us it was a wonderful sight: sugar-balls and sweets in brightly colored paper. It always took ages for each child to decide what to buy. But Mrs. Bartlett didn’t mind: she let us take our time. Bernard liked sweets, but instead of my spending all the pocket money left buying the sweets, he didn’t buy them. He went to a newsagent’s shop that sold football cards. He was mad about these picture cards of famous footballers, and spent all his pocket money trying to collect whole teams of players. On Saturday afternoons he would find out where I was. Then Bernard would go to our mother to complain. Mum would say, “Jim, don’t be so mean. Share your sweets with your brother.” I thought this was really unfair, but I had no choice!
