阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文,续写短文的次数应为 150 左右。
Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very first day she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs.Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. She paid no attention to Teddy.
However, when she read his file, she was in surprise. Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to be around."His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student,well liked by his classmates. But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be a struggle." His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tried to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest." Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school.He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs.Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself.She thought that she could make a difference.
She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents,wrapped in beautiful paper and tied with pretty ribbons, except for Teddy's.His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children stared to laugh when she found a stone bracelet(手镯)with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.

As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive.The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded and he showed much interest in study. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the excellent children in the class.
Paragraph 2
Ten years later, Teddy invited Mrs.Thompson to attend his wedding as groom's mother. She used the bracelet and the perfume which were the present of that year. At the wedding ceremony, she met the man with good manners. He said to her, "Thank you,Mrs.Thompson.Today you smelled just like my mom used to." Mrs. Thompson,with tears in her eyes whispered back. She said, "Teddy, you were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I’m proud that today I can be your mother!"
汤普森夫人的声音因泪水而哽咽,她感谢她的学生的礼物。 然后她展示了她是如何喜欢泰迪的礼物,戴上手镯,用一些香水在她的手腕上。 从那时起,汤普森夫人特别关注泰迪。 当她和他一起工作时,他的头脑似乎活了下来。 她越鼓励他,他的反应就越快,他对学习表现出很大的兴趣。 到年底,泰迪已经成为班上优秀的孩子之一。
十年后,泰迪邀请汤普森夫人作为新郎的母亲来参加他的婚礼。她用了当年现在的手镯和香水。在婚礼上,她很有礼貌地遇见了那个男人。他对她说:“谢谢你,Mrs.Thompson.Today,你闻起来就像我妈妈以前一样。”汤普森太太眼中含着泪水,低声说。她说:“泰迪,是你教我我能改变的人。我很自豪,今天我还能成为你的妈妈!”
第2篇 街边按铃
阅读下面材料。根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ring a Bell
Ms. Tracy looked up from her yellow notebook and cleared her throat. The noise in the class died down as we turned toward her. "We're going to help a charity to collect money by ringing a bell. Each of you will ring it for four hours," she announced. As the words left her lips, complaints could be heard around the room. Unwillingly, I dug for my planner and look notes. Four hours of ringing a stupid bell. Four hours that I could be studying for the SAT. Was this supposed to be a joke? I joined the students around the table and signed up for 1he first day of break-to get it over with.
A few weeks later, I was standing next to the big blue-and-white Walmart. There was another guy holding a jar across from me. Great, I was going to be stuck here ringing a bell with a guy who was trying to get donations for another charity. To top it off, it was only about 4.4℃.
Slowly, I put on the red dress bearing the symbol of ow charity. I hoped that I already spent two minutes doing that, Ring! Ring! A group of older women came up with their walking sticks to drop in some change. А man with а broad-cimmеd bat came by and put some coins in. I checked my phone. Just 10 minutes had passed.
A strong bitterly-cold wind blew against my freezing face. I was starting to regret ignoring my mom's advice to wear a scarf. I looked up, wishing that time would pass more quickly. A few birds swept around the poles. The sky was gently blue. Palm trees waved in the cold wind. How comfortable it might be to curl(蜷缩)up with a hot cup of tea and a book on the cozy sofa. Then another ring brought me back to reality.

From the parking lot stepped out a poorly-dressed man, walking with difficulty toward me.

Inspired by his generosity, I continued to ring my bell happily.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】From the parking lot stepped out a poorly-dressed man, walking with difficulty toward me. I saw his unbalanced shoulders and awkward figure. His hair was a mess and his shirt was dirty. I stopped ringing the bell, wondering what he was going to do. He pulled some change out of his worn pocket and reached towards the bucket. I couldn't help but say, "Thank you, sir." He turned to smile. The money he donated was not a lot, but it was clearly a lot to him. This act of charity, though not much, was worth so much more than donations given by those who were better off.
从停车场从一个衣着不好的男人走出来,艰难地朝我走去。我看到了他那不平衡的肩膀和尴尬的身材。他的头发很乱,衬衫也很脏。我不再按铃了,不知道他要做什么。他从破旧的口袋里掏出一些零钱,伸手向水桶走去。我忍不住要说,“谢谢你,先生。”他转身微笑起来。他捐的钱并不多,但显然对他来说是很多的。这项慈善行为虽然不多,但比那些富裕的捐款价值得多。
Inspired by his generosity, I continued to ring my bell happily. The bell rang so merrily that it attracted more people. I broadly smiled at everyone who approached me, feeling me shameful inside about my unwillingness and resistance when given the task. It was still chilly but I was bathed in the sunshine of kindness. Many say that these days people are becoming more and more selfish. I say that whoever believes that needs to go and ring a bell for a charity as I did
受他慷慨的启发,我继续高兴地按铃。钟响得很愉快,所以它吸引了更多的人。我对所有走近我的人哈哈一笑,当我接受任务时,我的不情愿和抵抗感到可耻。天气仍然很冷,但我却沐浴在善良的阳光下。许多人说,现在人们已经变得越来越自私了。我说,那些认为需要这样做的人都会像我一样去为慈善机构打电话
【解析】
本文以态度变化为线索展开,讲述了作者一开始对于摇铃的任务很抗拒,在执行过程中感受到了人性的温暖与伟大,慢慢的开始接受并积极起来的故事。

第3篇 如何对待失败
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Where were you when you first heard My Heart Will Go On? You know that love song that took over the world in the late 1990s, the one that ruled radios and television screens, that trilled through the air when you rang your neighbour’s doorbell, or rang out of a Valentine’s Day musical card—the song we love to hate now because it is almost shameful to admit how much we listened to it in 1998. I’m no fan of the song, but I’ll tell you one thing—it saved my life.
I remember where I was when I heard the song, 13 years old, only a few weeks away from receiving my class eight report card. When my mother and I went to collect it from school, the skies were grey. On the left side of the report card was the failure of my choosing—Maths, Physics and Chemistry—on the bottom of the right hand side it said Not Promoted(不升级) in red ink. My mother, an English teacher in another Calcutta school, was too proud to beg the principal for the three marks I needed in Chemistry to be promoted to class nine. I walked along, thinking of the last song I was watching on MTV before we left for school. It was Dion’s all & shy; knowing hit My Heart Will Go On: “You have come to show you, go on...”
I was a fool to have ever thought that I could get away with not studying and watching MTV for hours on end. Till class eight, my father had refused to get a cable connection on the grounds that my brother and I would forever be glued to the screen, not study and fail the exams. The year after he gave in to his desire to watch late night football, I proved him right. I failed class eight because I was in love with the Backstreet Boys and would watch MTV all the time so that I wouldn’t miss a single video. That’s the whole truth and the band will never know the price I paid for my love.
Paragraph 1:
Failing the year changed the world as I knew it.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Some months later, when the talent competition was announced in school, I was picked for the final round.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Failing the year changed the world as I knew it. Overnight, it seemed as though everything had changed. I lost my friends in school because every conversation was filled with pity, theirs, and shame, mine. I was stopped from watching TV. At school, some teachers ignored my raising hands because I’d already studied the text before but failed. I used to love singing, now my life was filled with sadness.
失败的这一年改变了我所知道的世界。一夜之间,一切似乎都变了。我在学校失去了朋友,因为每次谈话都充满了我的怜悯和羞愧。我已经不再看电视了。在学校,一些老师无视我的举手,因为我以前已经学习过课文,但失败了。我曾经喜欢唱歌,现在我的生活中充满了悲伤。
Some months later, when the talent competition was announced in school, I was picked for the final round. On the day of the contest, I stood before the entire school, closed my eyes and sang the song. In that moment, I realized what “You have come to show you” meant to me—I had come to show me to my classmates and my teachers, to show them that I wasn’t just a girl who got held back, that failed, that I was good for something, that I was enough the way I was. Sometimes, when you sing like you mean the words, chances are you might win.
几个月后,当学校宣布了人才比赛时,我被选中进入了最后一轮。比赛那天,我站在整个学校面前,闭上眼睛,唱着这首歌。在那一刻,我意识到“你来给你看”对我意味着什么——我来给我的同学和老师,让他们展示我不只是一个女孩,失败了,我有好事,我足够了。有时候,当你像唱歌的时候,你很有可能会赢。
第4篇 赢得比赛
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Everyone has his own weakness,but God always offers his unexpected strength in his misfortune. We’d make full use of it just like the girl below,we are certainly fortunate to be given other blessings from Heaven.
The story of one girl who decided to study judo(柔道) despite the fact that she had lost her left arm in a car accident.
The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn’t understand why,after three months of training,the instructor had taught her only one move.
“Instructor,” the girl finally said,“Shouldn’t I be learning more moves? It isn’t far enough to learn just this.”
“This is the only move you know,but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.
Not quite understanding,but believing in her teacher,the girl kept training. She didn’t dare to complain about anything and it was apparent that since her teacher said so,she had to follow without any unhappiness.
Several months later,the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself,the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult,but after some time,her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success,the girl was now in the finals.
This time,her opponent was bigger,stronger and more experienced. For a while,the girl appeared to be over-matched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt,the referee called a time out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor interrupted.
“No,” the instructor insisted,“Let her continue.”
Soon after the match started again,her opponent made a critical mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly,the girl used her move to hold her opponent tightly. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.
Paragraph 1:
On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match.
___________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Two reasons account for that you won,”the teacher answered.
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
On the way home,the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl took courage to ask what was really on her mind. “Instructor,how did I win the tournament with only one move?Is there any magic power about it? Is my opponent much weaker than me?Please tell me the secret.” The judo instructor and his pupil talked excitedly as walking forward. She couldn’t wait to know the answer,but the instructor appeared unhurriedly. Finally he opened his mouth.
在回家的路上,女孩和她的老师回顾了每一场比赛的每一个动作。然后女孩鼓起勇气问她到底在想什么。“教练,我是怎么只花一步就赢得锦标赛的?”它有什么魔力吗?我的对手会比我弱得多吗?请告诉我这个秘密。柔道教练和他的学生兴奋地说。她迫不及待地想知道答案,但老师却急匆匆地出现了。最后,他张开了嘴。
“Two reasons account for that you won,” the teacher answered.“First,you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second,the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm. It is your biggest weakness that makes you win the match. As a proverb says,‘Every coin has two sides.’ Making full use of your strength is your achievement. Please remember that in no case will you give up especially in trouble. God is fair to everyone.”
“你赢有两个原因,”老师回答,“首先,你几乎掌握了柔道最困难的投掷之一。其次,唯一已知的防守是让你的对手抓住你的左臂。这是你最大的弱点,让你赢得了比赛。正如谚语所说,“每枚硬币都有两面性。”充分利用你的力量是你的成就。请记住,无论如何你都不会放弃,尤其是在麻烦中。上帝对每个人都是公平的。”

A friend of mine, named Jack, received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Jack came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童)was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked. Jack answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫),Jack thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Jack looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to ,”the boy answered.
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?”

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
Funny how you can always tell when somebody's laughing behind your back. Jodie hadn't really heard anything,maybe a whisper,but when she turned around,the girls in the back row of the class were looking at her,trying to hide smiles and laughs. She looked back at her teacher.Mr_Swales was talking about what people do all day. He also wanted to find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up.He called on Billy Mitzer first.
“My daddy works in a bank, ” Billy Mitzer said.“I guess I want to work in a bank too.There's lots of money in the bank.”
“My parents have a grocery store, ” Emmy DiSalvo said.“Papa's behind the counter and Mama keeps the cash register.But I want to be an airline pilot.”
Jodie liked it when Mr Swales asked them questions like this.He was about to call on Jodie when the girls in the back row burst out laughing.
Shirley Danes yelled,“Jodie's daddy is a_garbage_man!”
Everybody in the class laughed out loud.Everybody except Jodie,that is.She felt her face turn bright red.She looked around the whole classroom.Everyone was laughing. Some kids were even holding their noses.
Jodie looked at Mr Swales.He was angry.He almost never raised his voice,but now he did.
“Silence! I want everybody to quiet down this instant.”
The laughter stopped immediately.The sound of cars and people going by out on the street came through the windows.“You should be ashamed of yourselves,” Mr Swales said.“Being a garbage man...I mean,is a difficult and enormously useful job.We should all be grateful to Mr Harris.Where would we be without him? Up to our ears in garbage,that's where.How would you like that?”
“It's not funny,” Mr Swales went on.“Garbage is a serious matter.I think you all owe Jodie an_apology.And after that,you're all going to write Jodie's father,Mr_Harris,a nice letter to tell him how much you appreciate what he does for all of us,in other words,keeping our city clean.”

Paragraph 1:
Everyone said “Sorry,Jodie” but Jodie could tell they didn't really mean it.Jodie also knew nobody wanted to write her father a letter.Her face was burning red and she felt like crying.Mr_Swales came to her desk and patted her shoulder.“Let's go out in the hall while everyone's writing those letters so we can have a private talk.”Jodie started crying out in the hall.“I'm sorry this happened,” Mr Swales said.“But remember,hard work done well is something to be proud of.”
每个人都说“对不起,朱迪”,但乔迪知道他们不是真的意思。乔迪也知道没有人想给她父亲写一封信。她的脸红得通红,她想哭。Mr Swales走到她的办公桌前,拍了拍她的肩膀。“我们在大厅里写这些信,这样我们就可以私下谈谈。”乔迪开始在大厅里哭。“我很抱歉,”斯韦尔斯先生说。“但是记住,努力工作是值得骄傲的。”
Paragraph 2:
Jodie's father came to walk her home from school as usual. She didn't run up to him the way she always did.When they were up in their home,Jodie went to her little room and cried for a good long time before she did her homework.Mr_Harris came into her room.“What happened,Jodie? Why are you so sad?” Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him.He didn't seem angry or hurt.He laughed and said,“Although my work seems to be a humble one,my devotion to the job will be everlasting.”
乔迪的父亲像往常一样从学校来带她回家。她没有像往常那样跑向他。当他们在家时,朱迪来到她的小房间,哭了很长一段时间。Mr Harris走进她的房间。“怎么了,乔迪?”你为什么这么伤心?朱迪告诉她父亲发生了什么事,然后看着他。他似乎没有生气,也没有受伤。他笑着说:“虽然我的工作看起来很卑微,但我对这个工作的奉献将是永恒的。”
第7篇 承诺
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
I was in sunny California.The past two months I had been sick,sleepless,forgetful,a little mad and a little sad.I had been busy reading and learning all I could about stopping smoking.I changed routines that led me to smoke again.I was trying my hardest to practice positive thinking until it would come naturally.Basically,I was making quitting smoking my job!
I thought it took the first two months for what was in my head to get to my heart.I walked and walked and breathed in the beautiful air.I began to notice I could smell and taste again.My hair and skin looked better...everything was improving.The best change I noticed was that I was beginning to feel “free” and I was loving it.
My friend May came to Nashville to visit her daughters.When she arrived,she was sick with what we thought was a chest cold.In a matter of days,she had seen the doctors,had a diagnosis and was getting ready for the fight of her life...she had lung cancer.
I sat with May and her daughters after their firstday treatment at the Sarah Cannon Cancer Center.They told me the worst part of the whole day was neither having to hurry up and wait to see doctor after doctor nor putting up with the chemo and radiation(放化疗),but having to answer the question,“Did you smoke and for how long” over and over again at each stop.
Christmas fell and it was my first smokefree holiday in 37 years.I was engaged in shopping,planning,cooking,wrapping.However,the stress,the tiredness of overdoing,and the physical and mental exhaustion(疲劳) of dealing with my quit exploded(爆发) on Christmas Day! I was going to my mother's house,which was about an hour's ride away.I wanted to drive myself in my own car.Once in the car and driving down I24,I had this thought:I could smoke and nobody would know.I pulled off the exit and went through my purse looking for money.

Paragraph 2:
Thanks to the quit,I am able to extend the confidence to other areas of my life.This past year has been an experience of contrast,up and down,happy and sad,scared and brave,but in the end,I survived the most lifechanging year.It was frightening to change something that had been a part of my life for most of my life,but it was worth every uncomfortable moment!
多亏了辞职,我才能够将信心扩展到我生活的其他领域。过去的一年经历了一种对比,起伏,快乐和悲伤,恐惧和勇敢的经历,但最后,我度过了生活最多的变化的一年。改变一些在我一生中大部分时间里一直存在的东西是很可怕的,但每一个不舒服的时刻都是值得的!
第8篇 音乐厅独奏
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
I have a daily routine.Every night,I end my hourlong subway one stop early,just so I can eat at my favorite diner.But one night last month,as I stepped off the No.6 train and onto a nearly empty platform,my evening took an unexpected turn.
I was walking toward the stairs when a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.He wanted my money,so I just gave him my wallet and told him,“Here you go.” As the teen began to walk away,I told him,“Hey,wait a minute.You forgot something.If you're going to be robbing people for the rest of the night,you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.” He asked me,“Why are you doing this?” I replied,“If you're willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars,then I guess you must really need the money.I mean,all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me...hey,you're more than welcome.” I just felt maybe he really needed help.
The teen and I went into the diner and sat in a booth.The manager,the dishwashers,and the waiters all came by to say hi.
The kid was like,“You know everybody here.Do you own this place?”
“No,I just eat here a lot,” I told the teen.He said,“But you're even nice to the dishwashers.”
I replied,“Well,haven't you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”
“Yeah,but I didn't think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.

I asked him what he wanted out of life.But he just had almost a sad face.The teen couldn't answer me—or he didn't want to.When the bill arrived,I told the teen,“Look,I guess you're going to have to pay for this dinner because you have my money and I can't pay for this.So if you give me my wallet back,I'll gladly treat you.” The teen didn't even think about it and returned the wallet.I gave him $20.
我问他从生活中想要什么。但他的脸几乎很悲伤。那个少年不能回答我,或者他不想回答。当账单来时,我告诉孩子说:“看,我想你得付这顿晚餐,因为你有我的钱,我付不起钱。所以如果你把钱包还给我,我会很乐意对待你的。那孩子甚至没想,就把钱包还给了我。我给了他$20分。
Paragraph 2:
I asked for something in return for the $20.So I asked for the teen's knife and he gave it to me.Afterward,when I told my mother what had happened,she said,“You're the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time,you would give them your watch.” I figure,you know,if you treat people right,you can only hope that they treat you right.It's as simple as it gets in this complicated world.
我要了一些用来换取$20的东西。所以我要了那个少年的刀,他给了我。后来,当我告诉母亲发生了什么事情时,她说:“你是那种如果有人问你时间,你会把手表给他们。”“我想,你知道,如果你对对待别人,你只能希望他们对对待你。在这个复杂的世界里,它都很简单。

A few seconds remained and the score was tied. Players gathered near the goal. Suddenly Devin saw a clear opening to the goal. He struck the ball hard and held his breath as it flew toward the upper corner of the net.
Goal!
Three seconds later, the judge blew the whistle. Game over.
"Championship game, here we come!" said Tara, slapping hands with Devin. "Can't wait till Thursday."
Devin grinned. Thursday would be huge—the big soccer game in the afternoon, and the school's autumn concert in the evening. Ms. Poltis had chosen Devin to sing a song alone.
"Great work," Coach said as the team gathered. "Be here by 6:30 on Thursday to warm up." "It's a night game," Coach explained. "Under the lights."
Devin's heart sank. The concert was at 7:00. Same time as the game. He couldn't possibly do both. His teammates were super excited. They were on the edge of a title. He couldn't disappoint his team by skipping the game.
That night, Devin lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. The lyrics struck him and he began to sing:
"No matter how hard the struggle, I will never let you down..."
He liked the song, and he appreciated how kind Ms. Poltis always was. Devin knew the words by heart, but the thought of singing alone made him tremble. Sometimes he was nervous about participating in sports, too, but that always went away as soon as a game started. He'd never sung a solo before. It was a relief to know he didn't have to now. The soccer game was a perfect excuse. But so was Ms. Poltis. It was long time before he fell asleep.

Paragraph 1
The next morning, Devin went straight to the music room.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
On Thursday evening, Devin felt a little nervous to see so many people in the concert hall.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next morning, Devin went straight to the music room. "I am not the best singer and I have to..." Devin hesitated with his eyes fixed on the floor. Ms. Poltis smiled warmly, "I choose you because you work hard, like the person in the song. So don't be nervous!" Devin raised his head and looked at her, tears welling up in his eyes. It was at that moment that Devin made his final decision. Later that day, Devin went to his coach and teammates. Unexpectedly, they welcomed him and promised that they would spare no effort to win the title.
第二天早上,德文径直去了音乐室。“我不是最好的歌手,我必须……”德文犹豫了一下,眼睛盯着地板。波尔蒂斯热情地笑了笑:“我选择你是因为你努力工作,就像这首歌里的人一样。所以,就不要紧张了!”德文抬起头,看着她,眼睛里涌起着泪水。就在这时候,德文做出了最后的决定。那天晚些时候,德文去找了他的教练和队友们。出乎意料的是,他们欢迎他,并承诺他们将尽力赢得冠军。
On Thursday evening, Devin felt a little nervous to see so many people in the concert hall. Devin took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. The bright light coming on, Devin calmed down and sang with confidence. Devin handled the solo perfectly. Hardly had he finished the last word of the song when a wave of applause erupted from the audience. Devin smiled at Ms. Poltis and felt proud of the choice he had made. No matter how hard the struggle, you have to make a decision and never let yourself down.
周四晚上,德文看到这么多人在音乐厅里,感到有点紧张。德文深吸了一口气,走上了舞台。明亮的灯光亮起了,德文平静下来,自信地唱着。德文的独奏处理得很完美。他还没唱完这首歌的最后一个字,观众就爆发了一阵掌声。德文对波尔蒂斯微笑了一下,并为自己所做的选择感到自豪。无论多么努力,你都必须做出决定,永远不要让自己失望。
【分析】
本文以人物的心理活动为主要线索展开。Devin所在的足球队周四晚上有一场比赛,他们有望获得冠军。同时,周四晚上学校举行秋季运动会,Devin有独唱节目。Devin面临着艰难的选择。最终,Ms. Poltis的话让Devin做出了选择:他参加了秋季音乐会,并成功地进行了独唱。通过这件事,Devin明白了一个道理:无论多么艰难的挣扎,你都要做出决定,永远不要让自己失望。

第10篇 妈妈的鼓励:蒲公英
阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落首句进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I grew up in a small town where elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age, not so long ago, when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting. At the time, I didn’t consider this to be so important, although today it certainly would be. Actually, our lunch time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realized it.
Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained patiently that she needed a narrator and had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her words, kindly delivered, still hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine(藤) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions(蒲公英) appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with small amounts of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes. “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a blossom up by all its roots. “From now on, we’ll have roses in this garden.” I immediately protested, “But I like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”

Paragraph 1:
“Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” Mom said.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully. I nodded without hesitation, as if a second wasted could deprive the dandelions of their life. “The same to you,” she added, her voice soft. “Not everyone can be a rose, and it is also an honour to be a dandelion.” Knowing that my mother had realized my pain, I took off the mask that I had worn for the whole lunch time and poured out my unease heartily. She listened to me patiently and patted me on the back tenderly. Suddenly she stopped, as if to say something.
“你是说每一朵花都有自己的美吗?”我母亲若有所思地问道。我毫不犹豫地点了点头,仿佛浪费一秒钟会剥夺蒲公英的生命。“你也一样,”她补充说,声音很柔和。“不是每个人都能成为玫瑰,成为蒲公英也是一种荣誉。我知道母亲已经意识到我的痛苦,我摘下整个午餐时间戴的面具,尽情地发泄了我的不安。她耐心地听着我说话,温柔地拍着我的背。她突然停了下来,好像在说些什么。
Paragraph 2:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” Mom said. She reminded me of how fluently I could deliver my part at home. It was at that time that I understood that maybe I was more suitable for a role back stage like a narrator. From then on, I practiced my lines heart and soul with my mother at lunch time for weeks. And the performance approached ultimately. Standing backstage, nervousness came flooding in me. What encouraged me to overcome it was the inspiration from the beautiful yellow dandelions. The performance that night was eventually a big success. Hearing the thunderous applause, I took pride in my role and firmly believed that even a dandelion had its own beauty.
“但你会成为一个美丽的叙述者,”妈妈说。她让我想起了我在家里可以多么流利地扮演我的角色。正是在那个时候,我明白也许我更适合像叙述者这样的角色。从那时起,我在午餐时间和母亲一起练习了好几周。演出最终接近了。站在后台,紧张的情绪涌入我的心头。鼓励我克服它的是灵感来自于美丽的黄色蒲公英。当晚的演出最终大获成功。听到雷鸣般的掌声,我为自己的角色感到自豪,坚信甚至蒲公英也有自己的美。

第11篇 父亲的训练
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Natalie was eleven years old. She lived with her family in a village in Kerala. Her family did not live right in the village, but on the outskirts of the village. This was because her father was a mahout.
One of the first commands an elephant learns is to kneel down and allow the mahout to sit atop it. From that moment on, the elephant obeys every command its master will give it. The mahout commands the animal with gentle prods and with words of encouragement. Natalie never stopped being amazed at how such a huge animal would obey a man who was physically so much smaller than it.
Natalie loved going with her father into the jungle. Here,huge trees were cut down and transported to sawmills. But it was not easy for vehicles to move about in the thick forests. This was where the elephants came in handy. They were so strong that they could move many tree trunks at a time.
Natalie wished she didn't have to go to school every day. She was happiest when there was a holiday. Then she would help to bathe and feed the elephant. She would sit atop with her father, and, in her childish but firm voice, she would give commands to the elephant like her father. But no elephant obeyed her.Her father often encouraged her,"What you need is patience!”
One day,after Natalie had finished her homework and put books into her backpack, she noticed that her father had not yet returned from the forest with the elephant. He was usually coming back before sunset. Natalie was so worried that she went in search of her father.

【答案】After a while, she saw the elephant in the middle of the forest without her father. Her heart pounding rapidly, Natalie dashed to the elephant, hoping that it could lead her to her father.Hard as she tried several times, she still couldn't make the elephant obey her command. As the sky gradually darkened, she was getting impatient and feeling at a loss. However, at the thought of her father,she decided to try again with more patience, giving the elephant more gentle prods and words of encouragement. Through her constant efforts, the elephant ultimately knelt down and allowed her to sit atop it.
过了一会儿,她看到大象躺在森林中央,没有她的父亲。娜塔莉的心怦怦直跳,娜塔莉冲到大象面前,希望它能把她引到她父亲身边。虽然她试了好几次,但她仍然不能让大象服从她的命令。天空渐渐暗了,她越来越不耐烦,不知所措。然而,一想到父亲,她就决定更耐心地再试一次,给大象更温柔的鼓励和鼓励。通过她不断的努力,大象最终跪了下来,让她坐在它上面。
Finally, the elephant led Natalie to her father with her atop. Seeing her father safe and sound, she was wild with joy. Hardly had she jumped down when she hugged her father tightly and she couldn't wait to tell him what had happened.After hearing the whole story,her father patted her on the back and beamed,"My girl,you finally made it! You'll definitely turn good mahout." It was not until then that Natalie realized her father arranged everything.A sense of pride swept over Natalie."I remember what you told me-Be patient." said Natalie,smiles flickering on her face.
最后,大象把娜塔莉带到了她的父亲身边。看到父亲平安恙,她欣喜若狂。她刚跳下来,就紧紧地拥抱了父亲,迫不及待地想告诉他发生了什么事。听到整个故事后,她父亲拍了拍她的背,微笑着说:“我的姑娘,你终于成功了!”你一定会变成好人的。”直到那时,娜塔莉才意识到她父亲安排了一切。娜塔莉身上掠过一种自豪感。“我记得你告诉我的,要耐心。”娜塔莉说,脸上闪烁着微笑。

第13篇 自我成长
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On Monday night, Cindy' s nine-year-old daughter Daisy announced she was going to practice one last time for the upcoming third grade talent show. The following day, she' d be performing "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten, which they both knew would be a crowd pleaser among her young classmates. She had prepared herself for the show for nearly two months, during which she herself made the final decision to sing to the guitar. She had learned to play the guitar for two years.
As she began to play, Cindy closed her eyes, imagining for a moment what the children' s faces would look like as she began to play and sing. Most of her classmates had never heard this girl sing, let alone play the guitar. As she shared her musical gift in that spotlight moment, Cindy knew it would be hard for her to contain her smile. Cindy guessed that she would be a little nervous before so many students and teachers. But she wouldn't be invited to witness what would happen. She was a little disappointed.
"Parents aren't allowed to come to the third grade talent show, Mom," she said matter-of-factly two weeks ago, breaking her heart right in half.
“What? You must be mistaken," Cindy said, feeling inappropriately emotional about this news. They were only students of the third grade. They should be accompanied by their parents on such important occasions. They may be nervous. Her mind was full of kind thoughts and love, but she said nothing. Perhaps that day she had something unhappy so she was unwilling to talk much with her. Perhaps her school would give out invitations to all the parents welcoming them to appreciate their children's performances. She decided to offer her puzzle, so she asked with caution, "Would parents be invited to the show?"
"No. No parents. It's just for kids. " she said, doing nothing to soften the blow…that is, until she saw the look on her face. Tapping her hand gently, she said with confidence, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll be fine.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Cindy knew she would be fine.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Cindy desired to watch her growth especially on such occasions.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Cindy knew she would be fine. She had learned to play the guitar for a long time and she was a talented singer in her family. Her musical gift stood out when she was only one year old. And she'd watched her confidence grow over the past years. She knew she would take the stage with her wonderful performance. Selfishly, she wanted to be there to see it. Standing in a hall or classroom with shining eyes as her child read a story she wrote, recited a line in a play, or sang alone or with a group, was her desire.
辛迪知道她会没事的。她学会弹吉他已经很长时间了,她是家里一个有才华的歌手。她只有一岁时的音乐天赋脱颖而出。在过去的几年里,她看着自己的信心不断增强。她知道她会以她出色的表演登上舞台。她很自私,很想去那里看它。她的孩子站在大厅或教室里,读她写的故事,在戏剧中背诵一行话,或独自或与一群人一起唱歌,这是她的愿望。
Cindy desired to watch her growth especially on such occasions. In her view, when Daisy scanned the crowd until she found her, she looked at her with all the love in her heart. In that moment, she would perform better. But Cindy had to admit that her child was building up her independence using her own way. So perhaps she should be for her decision. She was in a mixed emotional state where her feelings were fighting against one another and she decided to respect her decision. Cindy gently tapped her shoulder, saying, “Sure, I know you are the best."
辛迪希望看到她的成长,尤其是在这种情况下。在她看来,当黛西扫描人群直到找到她时,她用心中所有的爱看着她。在那一刻,她会表现得更好。但辛迪不得不承认,她的孩子正在用自己的方式建立独立。所以也许她应该支持她的决定。她处于一种情绪复杂的状态,她的感情互相争斗,她决定尊重自己的决定。辛迪轻轻地拍了拍她的肩膀,说:“当然,我知道你是最好的。”
【分析】
文章以人物为线索展开。讲述了Cindy9岁的女儿Daisy将在即将到来的三年级才艺表演上表演蕾切尔·普拉滕(Rachel Platten)的《战斗之歌》(Fight Song)。她在为此做最后一次练习,Cindy猜想在这么多学生和老师面前她会有点紧张。但她不会被邀请去见证将要发生的事情。她有点失望。Daisy轻轻地拍了拍她的手,自信地说:“别担心,妈妈。我会没事的。”

1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容”Cindy知道她会没事的。“可知,第一段可描写Cindy知道女儿能应对这场表演的原因。
②由第二段首句内容“Cindy渴望看到她的成长,尤其是在这样的场合。”可知,第二段可描写Cindy对女儿用自己的方式培养自己的独立性的感慨。

第14篇 奖项不是买来的
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文,续写短文的次数应为 150 左右。
My school had a tradition during the ninth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket(the school colors), was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for nine years.
I had been a straight A student since the first grade and had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My father was a farm laborer who couldn’t earn enough money to feed five children, so I was given to my grandparents to raise. There would never be a school sports jacket for us because we couldn’t afford it. This scholarship jacket was my only chance.
One day in May, I happened to overhear in the office. Mr. Schmidt, my history teacher, and Mr. Boone, my math teacher arguing about me. “I refuse to do it!I don’t care who her father is; her grades can’t match Martha’s at all. I won’t lie or falsify(伪造)records.” said Mr. Schmidt angrily.
But Mr. Boone’s voice sounded calm. “Joann’s father is not only on the Board(董事会), he owns the only store in town: we could say it was a close tie and…”
The pounding in my ears drowned out the rest of the words, only a word here and there filtered through. “…Martha is Mexican…resign … won’t do it …”
To this day I don’t remember how I made it through the rest of the afternoon. That night, I cried into my pillow so Grandmother wouldn’t hear me.
The next day when the principal called me into his office. “Martha,” he said, “There’s been a change in policy this year regarding the scholarship jacket. This year the Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars, which still won’t cover the complete cost of the jacket. So if you are unable to pay the money for the jacket, it will be given to the next one in line.”
Standing with all the dignity I could find, I said, I’ll speak to my grandfather about it, sir, and let you know tomorrow.” That day, I cried sadly on the walk home.

【答案】Version 1:
Paragraph 1
By the time I got home, my eyes were red and swollen. I found my grandpa in the bean field. His back bent into an arch and his face was drowned in sweats. I called him, in a choked voice. Sensing something wrong, he asked me what happened with great concern. I murmured the principal’s words, after which Grandpa fell silent, eyes rounding in disbelief. A surge of regret gnawing at my heart, I really hated to see my gray-haired Grandpa’s disappointment. Time ticking by, he heaved a long sigh, “My child, an award bought can’t be called an award.” I nodded understandingly. But who knew how reluctant and bitter I was?
当我回到家时,我的眼睛又红又肿了。我在豆子地里找到了我的爷爷。他的后背弯成拱门,脸被汗淹死了。我哽咽着叫他。他感觉到出了问题,非常担心地问我发生了什么事。我喃喃地说了校长的话,之后爷爷沉默了,眼睛难以置信地转向四周。一阵后悔折磨着我的心,我真的很讨厌看到我的白发爷爷的失望。随着时间的流逝,他长叹了口气:“我的孩子,买的奖项不能被称为奖项。”我理解地点了点头。但谁知道我有多么的不情愿和痛苦呢?
Paragraph 2
I dragged into the principal’s office the next day, sad and disappointed. I knew I might never get that jacket which represented my years of hard work and expectation. However, I tried to fight back the tears, with my head still lifted with dignity. “My grandpa…won’t pay the dollars. He said if I had to pay for it, then it wouldn’t be a scholarship jacket.” There was a deafening silence. The principal looked at me, biting his lip, as if thinking. Finally, after what seemed like a century, he decided that he would make an exception for me. I could hardly believe it. Looking into his eyes, which brimmed with smiles, I stood up and bowed low to him. Only at that moment did I believe that Mr. Schmidt and my grandpa were right: never can awards be falsified or bought.
第二天,我拖进了校长的办公室,悲伤而失望。我知道我可能永远得不到那件代表我多年努力工作和期望的夹克。然而,我试图强忍住泪水,我仍然有尊严地抬着头。“我爷爷不会付钱的。他说,如果我必须付钱,那就不是奖学金外套了。震耳欲聋的寂静。校长咬着嘴唇看着我,好像在想。终于,过了一个世纪,他决定给我一个例外。我简直不敢相信。我望着他那充满微笑的眼睛,站起来,向他低声鞠了一躬。只有在那一刻,我才相信施密特先生和我爷爷是对的:奖励永远不能被伪造或购买。

Paragraph 2
I dragged into the principal’s office the next day, sad and disappointed. My head still lifted with dignity, I tried to fight back the tears, stammering, “I cannot…afford the jacket, sir.” Staring into my eyes, the principal suddenly grinned, “I have good news for you.” I looked at him in confusion. “The board decided that an award cannot be bought just for the sake of winners’ dignity.” His eyes brimmed with smiles. I pinched my hand only to find I was not dreaming. Only at that moment did I believe that Mr. Schmidt and my grandpa were right: never can awards be falsified or bought.
第二天,我拖进了校长的办公室,悲伤而失望。我仍然有尊严地抬起头,强忍住眼泪,结结巴巴地说:“我买不起外套,先生。”校长盯着我的眼睛,突然咧嘴一笑:“我有好消息告诉你。我困惑地看着他。“董事会决定,不能仅仅为了获奖者的尊严而购买一个奖项。他的眼睛里充满了微笑。我捏了捏手,却发现自己不是在做梦。只有在那一刻,我才相信施密特先生和我爷爷是对的:奖励永远不能被伪造或购买。

第15篇 永远不要失去希望
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Willie Wilson would always live lite to the fullest. He was Mr. Popular at school, the star of his middle school basketball team, with dreams of going national team. At 13, his life changed. He couldn't see the words on the blackboard clearly in class. He couldn't read books without difficulty. Soon he hardly recognized his schoolmates in the halls.
His parents took him to the eye doctor. Willie could still slam-dunk like no one else, so they thought there was nothing serious to worry about. Maybe he just needed glasses. But it kept getting worse. By 15, he was almost completely blind.
Willie didn't handle the situation very well. He came home drunk and picked fights at school with anyone who dared to make fun of his blindness. "I was trying to show everyone that there was nothing wrong with me, ”he says. "To prove that I was still the same 'Thrill Willie Wilson'." That denial was blown away one Sunday when Willie heard news on TV. At 18, he gave his life to the Lord and read books in Braille, finding comfort in God's special love for those who are weak. He went to college and was a changed man.
His progress was stopped, though. He started to lose his hearing in the same way he had lost his eyesight. By 21, he was blind and deaf. He dropped out of school, stopped education and moved back home with his parents. This time, the doctors were able to tell the cause of his symptoms-a brain tumor.
Willie's world became doctors' appointments, hospitals and surgeries. His spare time was spent recalling in his childhood bedroom. His friends disappeared. He challenged himself to learn American Sign Language so he could communicate with others by feeling their hands. His parents and relatives found signing difficult, though. Instead, they drew letters into his hand. Willie grew frustrated by the lack of meaningful conversation.

His grandfather Willie Wilson, Sr., encouraged him not to lose hope.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
However, an organization specially designed for the disabilities helped him regain his confidence and live a positive life.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
His grandfather Willie Wilson, Sr., encouraged him not to lose hope. “You can’t see or hear as well as others,” he told Willie, “but you can do anything you set your mind to do.” But Willie didn’t listen to his grandfather’s words. He couldn’t even fold his own clothes or make himself a sandwich. “I just stayed in my bed,” he recalls. His faith in his dreams was fading, like the way his sight and hearing had.
他的祖父老威利·威尔逊鼓励他不要失去希望。“你不能像别人那样看见或听不到,”他告诉威利,“但你可以做任何你想做的事情。但威利没有听他祖父的话。他甚至不能折叠自己的衣服,也不能给自己做一个三明治。“我只是呆在床上,”他回忆道。他对梦想的信心正在减弱,就像他的视力和听觉一样。
However, an organization specially designed for the disabilities helped him regain his confidence and live a positive life. He moved into one of the 15 apartments at the organization. He finally found what he’d been so desperate to regain—his independence. These days, Willie is Mr. Popular once again. His signing is improving and he often talks with his friends with his sharp sense of humor. He cooks meals and does his own laundry. Willie says, “I’m able to take care of my own business. I’m living life in my own way now—Willie style!”
然而,一个专门为残疾人设计的组织帮助他重新获得了信心,过上了积极的生活。他搬进了该组织的15套公寓之一。他终于找到了他一直渴望恢复独立的东西。如今,威利先生又一次很受欢迎了。他的签约正在改善,他经常用他敏锐的幽默感与朋友们交谈。他自己做饭,自己洗衣服。威利说:“我能够处理好我自己的生意。我现在正以我自己的方式生活——威利的风格!”

第16篇 拼写测试
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class' First- Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus,Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand (手倒立) if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-s-t-y. , Wait! She'd spelled honesty, not honestly! She erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper. “I'll correct these while you're at recess” Ms. MeCormack said.
After recess, Karie hurried into the classroom. She fidgeted (坐立不安) in her seat, tapped her pencil and looked over at her best friend, Norah. Norah crossed her fingers. Karie crossed hers, too.
Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. Then, as if she were an Olympic Gymnast,. Ms. McCormack's feet flipped ( 翻转) into the air. “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!" she announced while upside down.
The whole class erupted!
Ms. McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie grinned as she read the label on the box: To Karie Carter, for her perfect first -quarter score in spelling.
“Everything OK?”Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school.
“Everything' s perfect!”Karie shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize.
Mom hugged her.“Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he get home.”
“And Casper, too. ”Karie scooped (抱起) up her cat. “Can you spell nicely,Casper? And quickly and honesly, and. .
Karie's heart missed a beat suddenly. Honestly? H-O-N-E-SL-Y!
“Karie, what's the matter?” said Mom.
“I don't feel so good," Karie said, putting Casper down and stuffing the test paper into her backpack.
“Probably too much excitement.”Mom rubbed her back.“How about some tea?”
Paragraph 1:
Karie swallowed, “How\did you know? At is exactly what I needed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Karie pushed open the door of Ms. McCormack 's office.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1:
Karie swallowed, “How did you know? At is exactly what I needed.” Shortly afterwards, she dashed into her room and pulled out the test paper. Recalling the joyful moment, a mixture of guilt and unwillingness overwhelmed her, Karie slowly picked up her pen,hesitant. “If I put the missing t back in, no one would ever know.” she thought. The moment the nib touched the paper, she tossed the pen on the table and stormed out of the house with her backpack. She raced back to school as fast as her legs could carry her.
卡里吞了下去,“你怎么知道呢?”这正是我所需要的。不久之后,她冲进房间,拿出了测试纸。卡莉回忆起这个快乐的时刻,一种内疚和不情愿的混合物淹没了她,她慢慢地拿起笔,犹豫着。“如果我把失踪的t放回去,就没有人会知道了。”她想。小刀一碰到报纸,她就把笔扔在桌子上,背着背包冲出了房子。她以双腿最快的速度跑回学校。
Paragraph 2:
Karie pushed open the door of Ms. McCormack’s office. At the sight of Karie, Ms. McCormack asked her what was happening. Karie unzipped her bag, pulled out the prize and handed it to her teacher. Head down, she explained her mistake in spelling competition. For a moment, Ms. McCormack stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary. Then she picked up a pen, crossed out the word perfect on the label and wrote honest before handing the prize back to Karie. “I get to keep this? Honestly?” she asked suspiciously, “Not for the spelling mistake you made,” Ms. McCormack smiled “But for your honesty.”
卡里推开了科马克女士办公室的门。一看到卡里,科马克女士就问她发生了什么事。卡里解开包的拉链,拿出奖品,递给了她的老师。她低下头,解释了她在拼写比赛中的错误。麦克·科马克女士静静地站着,读着字典上的标签。然后她拿起一支笔,在标签上划掉了“完美”一词,然后诚实地写了下来,然后把奖品还给了卡里。“我要保留这个吗?”诚实吗?她怀疑地问,“不是为了你犯的拼写错误,”科马克女士笑着说,“而不是为了你的诚实。”
【答案】Later Dad came in with excitement. "Where's your spelling test, Karie? "Dad asked eagerly. Karie looked away from her father. Anyhow, she reluctantly went to her room and pulled out the test paper. Dad fixed his eyes on the paper, a pleasant smile lifting the corner of his mouth. "I'm proud of you, sweetie. We need to celebrate it tonight." Karie pretended to be smiling all the time. Meanwhile a sense of guilt rose inside her. Feeling she didn't deserve the prize, she had a sleepless night for the first time in her life.
后来,爸爸兴奋地进来了。“你的拼写测试在哪里,卡丽?””爸爸急切地问道。卡莉把父亲移开了。不管怎样,她不情愿地走进自己的房间,拿出了测试纸。爸爸的眼睛盯着纸,嘴角露出了愉快的微笑。“我为你感到骄傲,亲爱的。今晚我们需要庆祝一下。”卡里一直假装都在微笑。与此同时,她心中产生了一种内疚感。她觉得自己不配得到这个奖项,所以她有生以来第一次有了一个不眠之夜。
The next morning, Karie went to school earlier than usual. Ms. McCormack was unlocking the classroom. "You're an early bird." Ms. McCormack said. Karie's hands trembled. She handed her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary. "I can't keep this. I misspelled' honestly' and you didn't catch it. "For a moment, Ms. McCormack stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary. Then picking up her pen, she crossed out the word "perfect" and wrote "honest" before returning the dictionary to Karie. "Keep this. But for honesty."
第二天早上,卡里比平时更早地去上学了。Ms.Mc·科马克正在打开教室。“你是一只早起的鸟。”Ms.Mc科马克说。卡里的手颤抖着。她把拼写纸和字典递给了老师。“我不能保留这个。我拼错了,你没抓到。麦克·科马克女士静静地站着,读着字典上的标签。然后她拿起笔,划掉了“完美的”这个词,写了个“诚实的”,然后把字典还给卡里。“保留这个。但这并不是为了诚实。”
【分析】
本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Karie在拼写测试中取得了完美的成绩,结果她回家才发现,自己“诚实”的单词拼写错了,但是老师没有发现。Karie陷入了沉思,不知道要不要告诉老师,不过最终Karie还是去学校告诉了老师这个错误。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容Karie 喝了一口茶。“你怎么知道的? 一个“t”正是我需要的。”可知,第一段可描写Karie回想自己高兴的时刻及发现自己拼写错误后的内疚感,进而可写Karie的举动。
②由第二段首句内容“Karie 推开了 Mcormack 老师办公室的门。”可知,第二段可描写Karie如何告知老师这个试卷上的错误的。

第17篇 音乐会
I remember the day Dad first brought the heavy accordion(手风琴) home. He gathered my mother and me in the living room and opened the case as if it were a treasure box. “Here it is,’’he said. “Once you learn to play, it’ll stay with you for life." If my thin smile didn’t match his great pleasure,it was because I had prayed for a guitar. For the next two weeks, the accordion was stored in the hall closet. Then one evening, Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week.
Shortly after, my lessons began with Mr. Zelii at the Allegro Accordion School. On my first day, with straps(手风琴皮带) straining my shoulder" felt clumsy in every way. “How did he do?” my father asked when it was over. “Fine for the first lesson.”said Mr. Zelli. Dad glowed with hope. I was ordered to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. My future seemed to be outside playing ball, not in the house mastering songs I would soon forget, but my parents urged me to practice.
Gradually,to my surprise, I was able to string notes together and coordinate my hands to play simple songs. Often, after supper, my father would request a tune or two. As he sat in his easy chair, I would play through Lady of Spain and Beer Barrel Polka. "Very nice, better than last week," he’d say.
With the fall recital (演奏会)approaching, I would have to play a solo on a local movie theater’s stage. I wanted to skip the whole thing. Emotions boiled over in the car one Sunday afternoon.
“I don’t want to play a solo,”I said. “You have to,” replied my father. “Why?” I shouted. “Because you didn’t get to play your violin when you were a kid? Why should I have to play this stupid instrument when you never had to play yours?” Dad pulled the car over and pointed at me.
“Because you can bring people Joy. You can touch their hearts. That’s a gift I won’t let you throw away." He added softly, “Someday you’ll have the chance I never had: you’ll play beautiful music for your family. And you will understand why you’ve worked so hard. ”
I was speechless. I had rarely heard Dad speak with such feeling about anything, much less the accordion. From then on, I practiced without parents’ making me.

_______________________________________________________________________________
1.答案:
The evening of the concert Mom wore glittery earrings and more makeup than I could remember. Dad got out of work early, putting on a suit and tie. They were an hour early, so we sat in the living room chatting nervously. I got the unspoken message that playing this one song was a dream for them. Finally, it was my turn. I walked to the chair stage and put on my performance without mistake. The applause spilled out, with a few hands still clapping after others had stopped. As the years went by, I went to college and the accordion stayed behind in the hall closet next to my father’s violin.
音乐会那天晚上,妈妈戴着闪闪发光的耳环,化妆超出我记得的。爸爸早早下班,穿上西装,打上领带。他们提前了一个小时,所以我们坐在客厅里紧张地聊天。我得到了一个无声的信息,播放这首歌对他们来说是一个梦想。最后,该轮到我了。我走到椅子舞台上,毫无错误地开始了我的表演。掌声爆发出来,在其他人停止掌声后,几只手还在鼓掌。随着时间的流逝,我上了大学,手风琴留在了我父亲小提琴旁边的大厅壁橱里。
One afternoon several years later when my two children discovered it by accident. When I opened the case, they laughed and said, “Play it, play it.” Reluctantly, I strapped on the accordion and played some simple songs. Soon the kids were dancing in circles and giggling. Even my wife was laughing and clapping to the beat. My father’s words came back to me: “Someday you’ll have the chance I never had. Then you’ll understand.” I finally knew what it meant to work hard and sacrifice for others. Dad had been right all along: the most precious gift is to touch the hearts of those you love.
几年后的一个下午,我的两个孩子偶然发现了它。当我打开箱子时,他们笑着说:“弹了吧,弹了吧。”我不情愿地系上手风琴,弹了一些简单的歌。很快,孩子们就转着起来,咯咯地笑起来。就连我的妻子也在笑着鼓掌。我父亲的话又回到我身边:“总有一天你会有我从来没有过的机会。然后你就明白了。“我终于知道了努力工作和为他人做出牺牲意味着什么。爸爸一直都是对的:最珍贵的礼物是触摸你所爱的人的心。
第18篇 游泳比赛
Mike licked (舔) the last of the chocolate ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite flavored ice cream before they left home. As Mike climbed out the pool, his teammates patted (拍) him on the back. He’d taken first place again in his race.
As it turned out, Mike decided to have some chocolate ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets that came up. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of being placed in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but he was also starting to feel a little uncomfortable. All that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build.
It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place---and then third and then last place in his races. The lucky chocolate ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, I think we need to talk about this. We all love ice cream, but it’s got lots of fat and sugar in it, and it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it.” Mike unwillingly agreed. His father offered to go running with him few days a week to help strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim.
It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn’t sure what to expect. He felt healthy again, but he didn’t know if he still had any speed in the pool.

One possible version:
As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. Whenever he came up for a breath, he could see he was gaining on the boy ahead of him in the next lane. Feeling determined to pass him, Mike found the power in his muscles he needed to swim ahead, and as his hand touched the edge of the pool, the race was over. He lifted his swim glasses off his head and looked at the electronic board. He knew he wasn’t last, but what was his time?
当他跳入水中时,他踢着双腿,尽量伸开双臂。每当他走上呼吸,他就能看见他在隔壁车道抓住前面的那个男孩。迈克决心要超过他,他在肌肉中找到了向前游泳的力量,当他的手碰到泳池边缘时,比赛结束了。他举起头上的游泳眼镜,看了看电子板。他知道自己不是最后一个,但他是什么时候呢?
His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else' s too. Mike had won his race, and he had also qualified for the national championships. The audience and his teammates cheered loudly, and his parents were laughing from ear to ear. “Hey son, let' s go and have some of your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father. “Thanks, Dad, but I’ll pass on the ice cream; it’s not such a lucky charm after all!”
当他意识到自己已经打败了自己最好的时光,以及其他人最好的时光时,他放下了下巴。迈克赢得了比赛,他也获得了参加全国锦标赛的资格。观众和他的队友们大声欢呼,他的父母哈哈大笑。“嘿,儿子,让我们去吃你最喜欢的冰淇淋庆祝!”他的父亲说。“谢谢,爸爸,但我会把冰淇淋传出去。这毕竟不是什么幸运魅力!”
第19篇 小男孩与老人
A Little Boy
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
Dust found the boy lingering on and hesitating what to do. As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota ( 份 额 ) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said,“Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?” the little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door and said: “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
第一段:
The boy headed back down to the old man’s house. The dog figurine witnessed the little boy’s ending up opening the door once more. Upon seeing the boy for a second time, the old man couldn’t bring his anger under control any longer. “Haven’t I told you I need no magazines at all?” He snapped at the boy. “Yes, sir.” said the little boy with an uneasy expression on his face, “But I think you will like the figurine.” Then he handed it to the old man. Taking the figurine from the boy’s hands, the lonely soul was so astonished that words failed to convey his emotions, tears welling up in his eyes. Out of gratitude, he bought a magazine from the boy and saw him off.
那男孩回到了老人的家。狗雕像见证了小男孩再次开门。第二次见到男孩,老人再也无法控制他的愤怒了。“我没告诉过你我根本不需要杂志吗?”他对男孩说。“是的,先生。”小男孩脸上带着不安的表情说,“但我想你会喜欢这个小雕像的。”然后他把它递给了老人。这个孤独的灵魂从男孩手里接过小雕像,非常惊讶,言语无法表达他的情感,眼泪在他的眼睛里涌了出来。出于感激之情,他从那个男孩那里买了一本杂志,然后把他送走了。
第二段:
From that day on something changed inside the old man. The neighborhood always found the old man hanging out and smiling at everyone. He showed his precious collections to children who were now very willing to play with him. He used to collect figurines in memory of a real live dog which had kept company with him for a long time before it died. But now, he wasn’t drowned in the sorrows and loneliness anymore.He had realized the true spirit of life!
从那天起,老人的内心就发生了什么变化。邻居们总是发现老人在外面闲逛,对着每个人微笑。他把他珍贵的收藏品展示给那些现在非常愿意和他一起玩的孩子们。他过去常常收集小雕像来纪念一只真正活着的狗,这只狗在它死前已经和他交往了很长一段时间。但现在,他不再沉浸在悲伤和孤独中了。他已经意识到了真正的生活精神!

“What’s wrong with you, dear?” said Granny Bell to a little boy, who sat near a wall at the back of the house. He had a book in his hand, and tears were in his eyes.
“We have all got a poem called Little Jim to learn,” said the boy, whose name was Tom Blair,” and the one who says the best is to get a prize from the master. But I don’t think I can learn it.”
“Why not?” said Granny Bell.
“The boys say that I can’t, and that I need not try,” said Tom in a sad tone. “Don’t mind what the boys say. Let them see that you can learn it.” said his frie
“But I don’t think I can.” said Tom,” it is so long, and some of the words are so hard. I know I need not try for the prize. But I would like to learn the poem as well as I can; for the boys laugh at me, and call me ‘Slow Tom’.”
“Well, dear,” said Granny Bell, in a kind voice, “if you are slow, and can’t help it, try to be slow and sure, as they say. Look at the snail(蜗牛) on the wall; how slow it is! And yet, if you watch it, you will see it will get to the top in time. So just try to learn a few lines each day, and you may gain the prize in the end. And when you feel like losing heart, think of the snail on the wall.”
After Granny Bell had said this, she went on her way. And Tom thought that, though he could not keep up with the boys, he might run a race with the snail. So he determined to try to learn his task by the time the snail got to the top of the wall.

Paragraph 1:
At last, the day came on which the master was to give the prize, and after he called upon five or six boys to repeat the poem, it came to Tom’s turn. Regardless of the unfriendly whispers and giggles among the boys, Tom closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then started to recite the poem, slow and sure, with a peaceful yet powerful voice. The classroom suddenly fell into silence, only Tom’s voice ringing around. Everyone was astonished at the fluency and proficiency with which he spoke, and the master was no exception. The moment he finished, a shower of applause exploded.
最后,主人颁发奖品的那一天,他叫五六个男孩重复这首诗,轮到汤姆了。不管孩子们之间有什么不友好的窃窃私语和咯咯的咯笑,汤姆还是闭上眼睛,深吸了一口气,然后开始平静而坚定地背诵这首诗。教室突然一片了,只有汤姆的声音响。每个人都对他说话的流利和熟练感到惊讶,主人也不例外。他一说完,就发出一阵掌声。
Paragraph 2:
“Well done!Tom! Well done! Tell me how you made it!” said the master with great joy. Tom scratched his head with a shy smile, and told the story of Granny Bell with tears shinning in his eyes. “I know I am as slow as a snail, but the snail also can achieve his dream with great persistence and determination.” In another huge wave of cheers, the master gave the prize to Tom who deserved it well. We may face difficulties and prejudice in life, but nothing is impossible if we put our heart into it.
“干得好!”汤姆!干得好了!告诉我你是怎么做到的!主人非常高兴地说。汤姆害羞地微笑着搔了挠头,讲述着贝尔奶奶的故事。“我知道我像蜗牛一样慢,但蜗牛也可以以极大的毅力和决心实现他的梦想。在另一波巨大的欢呼声中,主人把奖品给了他应得的汤姆。我们可能会在生活中面临困难和偏见,但如果我们用心投入其中,没有什么是不可能的。

Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very first day she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs.Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. She paid no attention to Teddy.
However, when she read his file, she was in surprise. Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to be around."His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student,well liked by his classmates. But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be a struggle." His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tried to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest." Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school.He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs.Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself.She thought that she could make a difference.
She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents,wrapped in beautiful paper and tied with pretty ribbons, except for Teddy's.His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children stared to laugh when she found a stone bracelet(手镯)with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.

Ring a Bell
Ms. Tracy looked up from her yellow notebook and cleared her throat. The noise in the class died down as we turned toward her. "We're going to help a charity to collect money by ringing a bell. Each of you will ring it for four hours," she announced. As the words left her lips, complaints could be heard around the room. Unwillingly, I dug for my planner and look notes. Four hours of ringing a stupid bell. Four hours that I could be studying for the SAT. Was this supposed to be a joke? I joined the students around the table and signed up for 1he first day of break-to get it over with.
A few weeks later, I was standing next to the big blue-and-white Walmart. There was another guy holding a jar across from me. Great, I was going to be stuck here ringing a bell with a guy who was trying to get donations for another charity. To top it off, it was only about 4.4℃.
Slowly, I put on the red dress bearing the symbol of ow charity. I hoped that I already spent two minutes doing that, Ring! Ring! A group of older women came up with their walking sticks to drop in some change. А man with а broad-cimmеd bat came by and put some coins in. I checked my phone. Just 10 minutes had passed.
A strong bitterly-cold wind blew against my freezing face. I was starting to regret ignoring my mom's advice to wear a scarf. I looked up, wishing that time would pass more quickly. A few birds swept around the poles. The sky was gently blue. Palm trees waved in the cold wind. How comfortable it might be to curl(蜷缩)up with a hot cup of tea and a book on the cozy sofa. Then another ring brought me back to reality.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】From the parking lot stepped out a poorly-dressed man, walking with difficulty toward me. I saw his unbalanced shoulders and awkward figure. His hair was a mess and his shirt was dirty. I stopped ringing the bell, wondering what he was going to do. He pulled some change out of his worn pocket and reached towards the bucket. I couldn't help but say, "Thank you, sir." He turned to smile. The money he donated was not a lot, but it was clearly a lot to him. This act of charity, though not much, was worth so much more than donations given by those who were better off.
从停车场从一个衣着不好的男人走出来,艰难地朝我走去。我看到了他那不平衡的肩膀和尴尬的身材。他的头发很乱,衬衫也很脏。我不再按铃了,不知道他要做什么。他从破旧的口袋里掏出一些零钱,伸手向水桶走去。我忍不住要说,“谢谢你,先生。”他转身微笑起来。他捐的钱并不多,但显然对他来说是很多的。这项慈善行为虽然不多,但比那些富裕的捐款价值得多。
Inspired by his generosity, I continued to ring my bell happily. The bell rang so merrily that it attracted more people. I broadly smiled at everyone who approached me, feeling me shameful inside about my unwillingness and resistance when given the task. It was still chilly but I was bathed in the sunshine of kindness. Many say that these days people are becoming more and more selfish. I say that whoever believes that needs to go and ring a bell for a charity as I did
受他慷慨的启发,我继续高兴地按铃。钟响得很愉快,所以它吸引了更多的人。我对所有走近我的人哈哈一笑,当我接受任务时,我的不情愿和抵抗感到可耻。天气仍然很冷,但我却沐浴在善良的阳光下。许多人说,现在人们已经变得越来越自私了。我说,那些认为需要这样做的人都会像我一样去为慈善机构打电话
【解析】
本文以态度变化为线索展开,讲述了作者一开始对于摇铃的任务很抗拒,在执行过程中感受到了人性的温暖与伟大,慢慢的开始接受并积极起来的故事。

第3篇 如何对待失败
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Where were you when you first heard My Heart Will Go On? You know that love song that took over the world in the late 1990s, the one that ruled radios and television screens, that trilled through the air when you rang your neighbour’s doorbell, or rang out of a Valentine’s Day musical card—the song we love to hate now because it is almost shameful to admit how much we listened to it in 1998. I’m no fan of the song, but I’ll tell you one thing—it saved my life.
I remember where I was when I heard the song, 13 years old, only a few weeks away from receiving my class eight report card. When my mother and I went to collect it from school, the skies were grey. On the left side of the report card was the failure of my choosing—Maths, Physics and Chemistry—on the bottom of the right hand side it said Not Promoted(不升级) in red ink. My mother, an English teacher in another Calcutta school, was too proud to beg the principal for the three marks I needed in Chemistry to be promoted to class nine. I walked along, thinking of the last song I was watching on MTV before we left for school. It was Dion’s all & shy; knowing hit My Heart Will Go On: “You have come to show you, go on...”
I was a fool to have ever thought that I could get away with not studying and watching MTV for hours on end. Till class eight, my father had refused to get a cable connection on the grounds that my brother and I would forever be glued to the screen, not study and fail the exams. The year after he gave in to his desire to watch late night football, I proved him right. I failed class eight because I was in love with the Backstreet Boys and would watch MTV all the time so that I wouldn’t miss a single video. That’s the whole truth and the band will never know the price I paid for my love.
Paragraph 1:
Failing the year changed the world as I knew it.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Some months later, when the talent competition was announced in school, I was picked for the final round.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Failing the year changed the world as I knew it. Overnight, it seemed as though everything had changed. I lost my friends in school because every conversation was filled with pity, theirs, and shame, mine. I was stopped from watching TV. At school, some teachers ignored my raising hands because I’d already studied the text before but failed. I used to love singing, now my life was filled with sadness.
失败的这一年改变了我所知道的世界。一夜之间,一切似乎都变了。我在学校失去了朋友,因为每次谈话都充满了我的怜悯和羞愧。我已经不再看电视了。在学校,一些老师无视我的举手,因为我以前已经学习过课文,但失败了。我曾经喜欢唱歌,现在我的生活中充满了悲伤。
Some months later, when the talent competition was announced in school, I was picked for the final round. On the day of the contest, I stood before the entire school, closed my eyes and sang the song. In that moment, I realized what “You have come to show you” meant to me—I had come to show me to my classmates and my teachers, to show them that I wasn’t just a girl who got held back, that failed, that I was good for something, that I was enough the way I was. Sometimes, when you sing like you mean the words, chances are you might win.
几个月后,当学校宣布了人才比赛时,我被选中进入了最后一轮。比赛那天,我站在整个学校面前,闭上眼睛,唱着这首歌。在那一刻,我意识到“你来给你看”对我意味着什么——我来给我的同学和老师,让他们展示我不只是一个女孩,失败了,我有好事,我足够了。有时候,当你像唱歌的时候,你很有可能会赢。
第4篇 赢得比赛

Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Everyone has his own weakness,but God always offers his unexpected strength in his misfortune. We’d make full use of it just like the girl below,we are certainly fortunate to be given other blessings from Heaven.
The story of one girl who decided to study judo(柔道) despite the fact that she had lost her left arm in a car accident.
The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn’t understand why,after three months of training,the instructor had taught her only one move.
“Instructor,” the girl finally said,“Shouldn’t I be learning more moves? It isn’t far enough to learn just this.”
“This is the only move you know,but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.
Not quite understanding,but believing in her teacher,the girl kept training. She didn’t dare to complain about anything and it was apparent that since her teacher said so,she had to follow without any unhappiness.
Several months later,the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself,the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult,but after some time,her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success,the girl was now in the finals.
This time,her opponent was bigger,stronger and more experienced. For a while,the girl appeared to be over-matched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt,the referee called a time out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor interrupted.
“No,” the instructor insisted,“Let her continue.”
Soon after the match started again,her opponent made a critical mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly,the girl used her move to hold her opponent tightly. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.
Paragraph 1:
On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match.
___________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Two reasons account for that you won,”the teacher answered.
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
On the way home,the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl took courage to ask what was really on her mind. “Instructor,how did I win the tournament with only one move?Is there any magic power about it? Is my opponent much weaker than me?Please tell me the secret.” The judo instructor and his pupil talked excitedly as walking forward. She couldn’t wait to know the answer,but the instructor appeared unhurriedly. Finally he opened his mouth.
在回家的路上,女孩和她的老师回顾了每一场比赛的每一个动作。然后女孩鼓起勇气问她到底在想什么。“教练,我是怎么只花一步就赢得锦标赛的?”它有什么魔力吗?我的对手会比我弱得多吗?请告诉我这个秘密。柔道教练和他的学生兴奋地说。她迫不及待地想知道答案,但老师却急匆匆地出现了。最后,他张开了嘴。
“Two reasons account for that you won,” the teacher answered.“First,you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second,the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm. It is your biggest weakness that makes you win the match. As a proverb says,‘Every coin has two sides.’ Making full use of your strength is your achievement. Please remember that in no case will you give up especially in trouble. God is fair to everyone.”
“你赢有两个原因,”老师回答,“首先,你几乎掌握了柔道最困难的投掷之一。其次,唯一已知的防守是让你的对手抓住你的左臂。这是你最大的弱点,让你赢得了比赛。正如谚语所说,“每枚硬币都有两面性。”充分利用你的力量是你的成就。请记住,无论如何你都不会放弃,尤其是在麻烦中。上帝对每个人都是公平的。”

On Christmas Eve when Jack came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童)was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.

Funny how you can always tell when somebody's laughing behind your back. Jodie hadn't really heard anything,maybe a whisper,but when she turned around,the girls in the back row of the class were looking at her,trying to hide smiles and laughs. She looked back at her teacher.Mr_Swales was talking about what people do all day. He also wanted to find out what his students wanted to be when they grew up.He called on Billy Mitzer first.
“My daddy works in a bank, ” Billy Mitzer said.“I guess I want to work in a bank too.There's lots of money in the bank.”
“My parents have a grocery store, ” Emmy DiSalvo said.“Papa's behind the counter and Mama keeps the cash register.But I want to be an airline pilot.”
Jodie liked it when Mr Swales asked them questions like this.He was about to call on Jodie when the girls in the back row burst out laughing.
Shirley Danes yelled,“Jodie's daddy is a_garbage_man!”
Everybody in the class laughed out loud.Everybody except Jodie,that is.She felt her face turn bright red.She looked around the whole classroom.Everyone was laughing. Some kids were even holding their noses.
Jodie looked at Mr Swales.He was angry.He almost never raised his voice,but now he did.
“Silence! I want everybody to quiet down this instant.”
The laughter stopped immediately.The sound of cars and people going by out on the street came through the windows.“You should be ashamed of yourselves,” Mr Swales said.“Being a garbage man...I mean,is a difficult and enormously useful job.We should all be grateful to Mr Harris.Where would we be without him? Up to our ears in garbage,that's where.How would you like that?”
“It's not funny,” Mr Swales went on.“Garbage is a serious matter.I think you all owe Jodie an_apology.And after that,you're all going to write Jodie's father,Mr_Harris,a nice letter to tell him how much you appreciate what he does for all of us,in other words,keeping our city clean.”

Paragraph 1:
Everyone said “Sorry,Jodie” but Jodie could tell they didn't really mean it.Jodie also knew nobody wanted to write her father a letter.Her face was burning red and she felt like crying.Mr_Swales came to her desk and patted her shoulder.“Let's go out in the hall while everyone's writing those letters so we can have a private talk.”Jodie started crying out in the hall.“I'm sorry this happened,” Mr Swales said.“But remember,hard work done well is something to be proud of.”
每个人都说“对不起,朱迪”,但乔迪知道他们不是真的意思。乔迪也知道没有人想给她父亲写一封信。她的脸红得通红,她想哭。Mr Swales走到她的办公桌前,拍了拍她的肩膀。“我们在大厅里写这些信,这样我们就可以私下谈谈。”乔迪开始在大厅里哭。“我很抱歉,”斯韦尔斯先生说。“但是记住,努力工作是值得骄傲的。”

Why are you so sad?” Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him.He didn't seem angry or hurt.He laughed and said,“Although my work seems to be a humble one,my devotion to the job will be everlasting.”
乔迪的父亲像往常一样从学校来带她回家。她没有像往常那样跑向他。当他们在家时,朱迪来到她的小房间,哭了很长一段时间。Mr Harris走进她的房间。“怎么了,乔迪?”你为什么这么伤心?朱迪告诉她父亲发生了什么事,然后看着他。他似乎没有生气,也没有受伤。他笑着说:“虽然我的工作看起来很卑微,但我对这个工作的奉献将是永恒的。”
第7篇 承诺
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
I was in sunny California.The past two months I had been sick,sleepless,forgetful,a little mad and a little sad.I had been busy reading and learning all I could about stopping smoking.I changed routines that led me to smoke again.I was trying my hardest to practice positive thinking until it would come naturally.Basically,I was making quitting smoking my job!
I thought it took the first two months for what was in my head to get to my heart.I walked and walked and breathed in the beautiful air.I began to notice I could smell and taste again.My hair and skin looked better...everything was improving.The best change I noticed was that I was beginning to feel “free” and I was loving it.
My friend May came to Nashville to visit her daughters.When she arrived,she was sick with what we thought was a chest cold.In a matter of days,she had seen the doctors,had a diagnosis and was getting ready for the fight of her life...she had lung cancer.
I sat with May and her daughters after their firstday treatment at the Sarah Cannon Cancer Center.They told me the worst part of the whole day was neither having to hurry up and wait to see doctor after doctor nor putting up with the chemo and radiation(放化疗),but having to answer the question,“Did you smoke and for how long” over and over again at each stop.
Christmas fell and it was my first smokefree holiday in 37 years.I was engaged in shopping,planning,cooking,wrapping.However,the stress,the tiredness of overdoing,and the physical and mental exhaustion(疲劳) of dealing with my quit exploded(爆发) on Christmas Day! I was going to my mother's house,which was about an hour's ride away.I wanted to drive myself in my own car.Once in the car and driving down I24,I had this thought:I could smoke and nobody would know.I pulled off the exit and went through my purse looking for money.

All of a sudden,the nonsmoking slogans ran through my brain;the information in red ran through my brain; my own promise of quitting_smoking ran through my head.I began to cry.I am crying now thinking about what I believe was a decisive moment in my quit.I am proud to have been strong in selfcontrol.It was determination that helped rid myself of the smoking habit.

Paragraph 2:
Thanks to the quit,I am able to extend the confidence to other areas of my life.This past year has been an experience of contrast,up and down,happy and sad,scared and brave,but in the end,I survived the most lifechanging year.It was frightening to change something that had been a part of my life for most of my life,but it was worth every uncomfortable moment!

第8篇 音乐厅独奏
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
I have a daily routine.Every night,I end my hourlong subway one stop early,just so I can eat at my favorite diner.But one night last month,as I stepped off the No.6 train and onto a nearly empty platform,my evening took an unexpected turn.
I was walking toward the stairs when a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.He wanted my money,so I just gave him my wallet and told him,“Here you go.” As the teen began to walk away,I told him,“Hey,wait a minute.You forgot something.If you're going to be robbing people for the rest of the night,you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.” He asked me,“Why are you doing this?” I replied,“If you're willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars,then I guess you must really need the money.I mean,all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me...hey,you're more than welcome.” I just felt maybe he really needed help.
The teen and I went into the diner and sat in a booth.The manager,the dishwashers,and the waiters all came by to say hi.
The kid was like,“You know everybody here.Do you own this place?”
“No,I just eat here a lot,” I told the teen.He said,“But you're even nice to the dishwashers.”
I replied,“Well,haven't you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”
“Yeah,but I didn't think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.

Paragraph 1:
I asked him what he wanted out of life.But he just had almost a sad face.The teen couldn't answer me—or he didn't want to.When the bill arrived,I told the teen,“Look,I guess you're going to have to pay for this dinner because you have my money and I can't pay for this.So if you give me my wallet back,I'll gladly treat you.” The teen didn't even think about it and returned the wallet.I gave him $20.
我问他从生活中想要什么。但他的脸几乎很悲伤。那个少年不能回答我,或者他不想回答。当账单来时,我告诉孩子说:“看,我想你得付这顿晚餐,因为你有我的钱,我付不起钱。所以如果你把钱包还给我,我会很乐意对待你的。那孩子甚至没想,就把钱包还给了我。我给了他$20分。
Paragraph 2:
I asked for something in return for the $20.So I asked for the teen's knife and he gave it to me.Afterward,when I told my mother what had happened,she said,“You're the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time,you would give them your watch.” I figure,you know,if you treat people right,you can only hope that they treat you right.It's as simple as it gets in this complicated world.
我要了一些用来换取$20的东西。所以我要了那个少年的刀,他给了我。后来,当我告诉母亲发生了什么事情时,她说:“你是那种如果有人问你时间,你会把手表给他们。”“我想,你知道,如果你对对待别人,你只能希望他们对对待你。在这个复杂的世界里,它都很简单。
第9篇 选择

A few seconds remained and the score was tied. Players gathered near the goal. Suddenly Devin saw a clear opening to the goal. He struck the ball hard and held his breath as it flew toward the upper corner of the net.
Goal!
Three seconds later, the judge blew the whistle. Game over.
"Championship game, here we come!" said Tara, slapping hands with Devin. "Can't wait till Thursday."
Devin grinned. Thursday would be huge—the big soccer game in the afternoon, and the school's autumn concert in the evening. Ms. Poltis had chosen Devin to sing a song alone.
"Great work," Coach said as the team gathered. "Be here by 6:30 on Thursday to warm up." "It's a night game," Coach explained. "Under the lights."
Devin's heart sank. The concert was at 7:00. Same time as the game. He couldn't possibly do both. His teammates were super excited. They were on the edge of a title. He couldn't disappoint his team by skipping the game.
That night, Devin lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. The lyrics struck him and he began to sing:
"No matter how hard the struggle, I will never let you down..."
He liked the song, and he appreciated how kind Ms. Poltis always was. Devin knew the words by heart, but the thought of singing alone made him tremble. Sometimes he was nervous about participating in sports, too, but that always went away as soon as a game started. He'd never sung a solo before. It was a relief to know he didn't have to now. The soccer game was a perfect excuse. But so was Ms. Poltis. It was long time before he fell asleep.

Paragraph 1
The next morning, Devin went straight to the music room.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
On Thursday evening, Devin felt a little nervous to see so many people in the concert hall.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next morning, Devin went straight to the music room. "I am not the best singer and I have to..." Devin hesitated with his eyes fixed on the floor. Ms. Poltis smiled warmly, "I choose you because you work hard, like the person in the song. So don't be nervous!" Devin raised his head and looked at her, tears welling up in his eyes. It was at that moment that Devin made his final decision. Later that day, Devin went to his coach and teammates. Unexpectedly, they welcomed him and promised that they would spare no effort to win the title.
第二天早上,德文径直去了音乐室。“我不是最好的歌手,我必须……”德文犹豫了一下,眼睛盯着地板。波尔蒂斯热情地笑了笑:“我选择你是因为你努力工作,就像这首歌里的人一样。所以,就不要紧张了!”德文抬起头,看着她,眼睛里涌起着泪水。就在这时候,德文做出了最后的决定。那天晚些时候,德文去找了他的教练和队友们。出乎意料的是,他们欢迎他,并承诺他们将尽力赢得冠军。
On Thursday evening, Devin felt a little nervous to see so many people in the concert hall. Devin took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. The bright light coming on, Devin calmed down and sang with confidence. Devin handled the solo perfectly. Hardly had he finished the last word of the song when a wave of applause erupted from the audience. Devin smiled at Ms. Poltis and felt proud of the choice he had made. No matter how hard the struggle, you have to make a decision and never let yourself down.
周四晚上,德文看到这么多人在音乐厅里,感到有点紧张。德文深吸了一口气,走上了舞台。明亮的灯光亮起了,德文平静下来,自信地唱着。德文的独奏处理得很完美。他还没唱完这首歌的最后一个字,观众就爆发了一阵掌声。德文对波尔蒂斯微笑了一下,并为自己所做的选择感到自豪。无论多么努力,你都必须做出决定,永远不要让自己失望。
【分析】
本文以人物的心理活动为主要线索展开。Devin所在的足球队周四晚上有一场比赛,他们有望获得冠军。同时,周四晚上学校举行秋季运动会,Devin有独唱节目。Devin面临着艰难的选择。最终,Ms. Poltis的话让Devin做出了选择:他参加了秋季音乐会,并成功地进行了独唱。通过这件事,Devin明白了一个道理:无论多么艰难的挣扎,你都要做出决定,永远不要让自己失望。
【详解】

第10篇 妈妈的鼓励:蒲公英
阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落首句进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I grew up in a small town where elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age, not so long ago, when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting. At the time, I didn’t consider this to be so important, although today it certainly would be. Actually, our lunch time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realized it.
Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained patiently that she needed a narrator and had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her words, kindly delivered, still hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine(藤) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions(蒲公英) appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with small amounts of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes. “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a blossom up by all its roots. “From now on, we’ll have roses in this garden.” I immediately protested, “But I like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”

Paragraph 1:
“Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” Mom said.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully. I nodded without hesitation, as if a second wasted could deprive the dandelions of their life. “The same to you,” she added, her voice soft. “Not everyone can be a rose, and it is also an honour to be a dandelion.” Knowing that my mother had realized my pain, I took off the mask that I had worn for the whole lunch time and poured out my unease heartily. She listened to me patiently and patted me on the back tenderly. Suddenly she stopped, as if to say something.
“你是说每一朵花都有自己的美吗?”我母亲若有所思地问道。我毫不犹豫地点了点头,仿佛浪费一秒钟会剥夺蒲公英的生命。“你也一样,”她补充说,声音很柔和。“不是每个人都能成为玫瑰,成为蒲公英也是一种荣誉。我知道母亲已经意识到我的痛苦,我摘下整个午餐时间戴的面具,尽情地发泄了我的不安。她耐心地听着我说话,温柔地拍着我的背。她突然停了下来,好像在说些什么。
Paragraph 2:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” Mom said. She reminded me of how fluently I could deliver my part at home. It was at that time that I understood that maybe I was more suitable for a role back stage like a narrator. From then on, I practiced my lines heart and soul with my mother at lunch time for weeks. And the performance approached ultimately. Standing backstage, nervousness came flooding in me. What encouraged me to overcome it was the inspiration from the beautiful yellow dandelions. The performance that night was eventually a big success. Hearing the thunderous applause, I took pride in my role and firmly believed that even a dandelion had its own beauty.
“但你会成为一个美丽的叙述者,”妈妈说。她让我想起了我在家里可以多么流利地扮演我的角色。正是在那个时候,我明白也许我更适合像叙述者这样的角色。从那时起,我在午餐时间和母亲一起练习了好几周。演出最终接近了。站在后台,紧张的情绪涌入我的心头。鼓励我克服它的是灵感来自于美丽的黄色蒲公英。当晚的演出最终大获成功。听到雷鸣般的掌声,我为自己的角色感到自豪,坚信甚至蒲公英也有自己的美。

①由第一段首句内容““你是说每朵花都有它自己的美丽吗?”母亲若有所思地问。”可知,第一段可描写妈妈举蒲公英的例子来安慰作者,作者敞开心扉告诉妈妈学校里发生的事。

第11篇 父亲的训练
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Natalie was eleven years old. She lived with her family in a village in Kerala. Her family did not live right in the village, but on the outskirts of the village. This was because her father was a mahout.
One of the first commands an elephant learns is to kneel down and allow the mahout to sit atop it. From that moment on, the elephant obeys every command its master will give it. The mahout commands the animal with gentle prods and with words of encouragement. Natalie never stopped being amazed at how such a huge animal would obey a man who was physically so much smaller than it.
Natalie loved going with her father into the jungle. Here,huge trees were cut down and transported to sawmills. But it was not easy for vehicles to move about in the thick forests. This was where the elephants came in handy. They were so strong that they could move many tree trunks at a time.
Natalie wished she didn't have to go to school every day. She was happiest when there was a holiday. Then she would help to bathe and feed the elephant. She would sit atop with her father, and, in her childish but firm voice, she would give commands to the elephant like her father. But no elephant obeyed her.Her father often encouraged her,"What you need is patience!”
One day,after Natalie had finished her homework and put books into her backpack, she noticed that her father had not yet returned from the forest with the elephant. He was usually coming back before sunset. Natalie was so worried that she went in search of her father.

【答案】After a while, she saw the elephant in the middle of the forest without her father. Her heart pounding rapidly, Natalie dashed to the elephant, hoping that it could lead her to her father.Hard as she tried several times, she still couldn't make the elephant obey her command. As the sky gradually darkened, she was getting impatient and feeling at a loss. However, at the thought of her father,she decided to try again with more patience, giving the elephant more gentle prods and words of encouragement. Through her constant efforts, the elephant ultimately knelt down and allowed her to sit atop it.
过了一会儿,她看到大象躺在森林中央,没有她的父亲。娜塔莉的心怦怦直跳,娜塔莉冲到大象面前,希望它能把她引到她父亲身边。虽然她试了好几次,但她仍然不能让大象服从她的命令。天空渐渐暗了,她越来越不耐烦,不知所措。然而,一想到父亲,她就决定更耐心地再试一次,给大象更温柔的鼓励和鼓励。通过她不断的努力,大象最终跪了下来,让她坐在它上面。
Finally, the elephant led Natalie to her father with her atop. Seeing her father safe and sound, she was wild with joy. Hardly had she jumped down when she hugged her father tightly and she couldn't wait to tell him what had happened.After hearing the whole story,her father patted her on the back and beamed,"My girl,you finally made it! You'll definitely turn good mahout." It was not until then that Natalie realized her father arranged everything.A sense of pride swept over Natalie."I remember what you told me-Be patient." said Natalie,smiles flickering on her face.
最后,大象把娜塔莉带到了她的父亲身边。看到父亲平安恙,她欣喜若狂。她刚跳下来,就紧紧地拥抱了父亲,迫不及待地想告诉他发生了什么事。听到整个故事后,她父亲拍了拍她的背,微笑着说:“我的姑娘,你终于成功了!”你一定会变成好人的。”直到那时,娜塔莉才意识到她父亲安排了一切。娜塔莉身上掠过一种自豪感。“我记得你告诉我的,要耐心。”娜塔莉说,脸上闪烁着微笑。

However, I think it is a very important decision for you.”Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated,“You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”
男孩回家想了很久。他问他父亲该怎么办。他的父亲说:“听着,孩子,你得自己做出决定。然而,我认为这对你来说是一个非常重要的决定。最后,在它坐了一个星期后,男孩翻上了同一张报纸,没有做任何改变。他说,“你可以保留F,我会保持我的梦想。”
Paragraph 2:
Recollecting(回忆)the story, my friend Monty and I are now sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of a 200-acre horse ranch. Two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on his ranch. When the teacher was leaving, he said,“Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough determination not to give up on yours.” Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.

第13篇 自我成长
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On Monday night, Cindy' s nine-year-old daughter Daisy announced she was going to practice one last time for the upcoming third grade talent show. The following day, she' d be performing "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten, which they both knew would be a crowd pleaser among her young classmates. She had prepared herself for the show for nearly two months, during which she herself made the final decision to sing to the guitar. She had learned to play the guitar for two years.
As she began to play, Cindy closed her eyes, imagining for a moment what the children' s faces would look like as she began to play and sing. Most of her classmates had never heard this girl sing, let alone play the guitar. As she shared her musical gift in that spotlight moment, Cindy knew it would be hard for her to contain her smile. Cindy guessed that she would be a little nervous before so many students and teachers. But she wouldn't be invited to witness what would happen. She was a little disappointed.
"Parents aren't allowed to come to the third grade talent show, Mom," she said matter-of-factly two weeks ago, breaking her heart right in half.
“What? You must be mistaken," Cindy said, feeling inappropriately emotional about this news. They were only students of the third grade. They should be accompanied by their parents on such important occasions. They may be nervous. Her mind was full of kind thoughts and love, but she said nothing. Perhaps that day she had something unhappy so she was unwilling to talk much with her. Perhaps her school would give out invitations to all the parents welcoming them to appreciate their children's performances. She decided to offer her puzzle, so she asked with caution, "Would parents be invited to the show?"
"No. No parents. It's just for kids. " she said, doing nothing to soften the blow…that is, until she saw the look on her face. Tapping her hand gently, she said with confidence, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll be fine.”

【答案】Cindy knew she would be fine. She had learned to play the guitar for a long time and she was a talented singer in her family. Her musical gift stood out when she was only one year old. And she'd watched her confidence grow over the past years. She knew she would take the stage with her wonderful performance. Selfishly, she wanted to be there to see it. Standing in a hall or classroom with shining eyes as her child read a story she wrote, recited a line in a play, or sang alone or with a group, was her desire.
辛迪知道她会没事的。她学会弹吉他已经很长时间了,她是家里一个有才华的歌手。她只有一岁时的音乐天赋脱颖而出。在过去的几年里,她看着自己的信心不断增强。她知道她会以她出色的表演登上舞台。她很自私,很想去那里看它。她的孩子站在大厅或教室里,读她写的故事,在戏剧中背诵一行话,或独自或与一群人一起唱歌,这是她的愿望。
Cindy desired to watch her growth especially on such occasions. In her view, when Daisy scanned the crowd until she found her, she looked at her with all the love in her heart. In that moment, she would perform better. But Cindy had to admit that her child was building up her independence using her own way. So perhaps she should be for her decision. She was in a mixed emotional state where her feelings were fighting against one another and she decided to respect her decision. Cindy gently tapped her shoulder, saying, “Sure, I know you are the best."
辛迪希望看到她的成长,尤其是在这种情况下。在她看来,当黛西扫描人群直到找到她时,她用心中所有的爱看着她。在那一刻,她会表现得更好。但辛迪不得不承认,她的孩子正在用自己的方式建立独立。所以也许她应该支持她的决定。她处于一种情绪复杂的状态,她的感情互相争斗,她决定尊重自己的决定。辛迪轻轻地拍了拍她的肩膀,说:“当然,我知道你是最好的。”
【分析】
文章以人物为线索展开。讲述了Cindy9岁的女儿Daisy将在即将到来的三年级才艺表演上表演蕾切尔·普拉滕(Rachel Platten)的《战斗之歌》(Fight Song)。她在为此做最后一次练习,Cindy猜想在这么多学生和老师面前她会有点紧张。但她不会被邀请去见证将要发生的事情。她有点失望。Daisy轻轻地拍了拍她的手,自信地说:“别担心,妈妈。我会没事的。”

1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容”Cindy知道她会没事的。“可知,第一段可描写Cindy知道女儿能应对这场表演的原因。
②由第二段首句内容“Cindy渴望看到她的成长,尤其是在这样的场合。”可知,第二段可描写Cindy对女儿用自己的方式培养自己的独立性的感慨。

第14篇 奖项不是买来的
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文,续写短文的次数应为 150 左右。
My school had a tradition during the ninth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket(the school colors), was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for nine years.
I had been a straight A student since the first grade and had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My father was a farm laborer who couldn’t earn enough money to feed five children, so I was given to my grandparents to raise. There would never be a school sports jacket for us because we couldn’t afford it. This scholarship jacket was my only chance.
One day in May, I happened to overhear in the office. Mr. Schmidt, my history teacher, and Mr. Boone, my math teacher arguing about me. “I refuse to do it!I don’t care who her father is; her grades can’t match Martha’s at all. I won’t lie or falsify(伪造)records.” said Mr. Schmidt angrily.
But Mr. Boone’s voice sounded calm. “Joann’s father is not only on the Board(董事会), he owns the only store in town: we could say it was a close tie and…”
The pounding in my ears drowned out the rest of the words, only a word here and there filtered through. “…Martha is Mexican…resign … won’t do it …”
To this day I don’t remember how I made it through the rest of the afternoon. That night, I cried into my pillow so Grandmother wouldn’t hear me.
The next day when the principal called me into his office. “Martha,” he said, “There’s been a change in policy this year regarding the scholarship jacket. This year the Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars, which still won’t cover the complete cost of the jacket. So if you are unable to pay the money for the jacket, it will be given to the next one in line.”
Standing with all the dignity I could find, I said, I’ll speak to my grandfather about it, sir, and let you know tomorrow.” That day, I cried sadly on the walk home.

【答案】Version 1:
Paragraph 1
By the time I got home, my eyes were red and swollen. I found my grandpa in the bean field. His back bent into an arch and his face was drowned in sweats. I called him, in a choked voice. Sensing something wrong, he asked me what happened with great concern. I murmured the principal’s words, after which Grandpa fell silent, eyes rounding in disbelief. A surge of regret gnawing at my heart, I really hated to see my gray-haired Grandpa’s disappointment. Time ticking by, he heaved a long sigh, “My child, an award bought can’t be called an award.” I nodded understandingly. But who knew how reluctant and bitter I was?
当我回到家时,我的眼睛又红又肿了。我在豆子地里找到了我的爷爷。他的后背弯成拱门,脸被汗淹死了。我哽咽着叫他。他感觉到出了问题,非常担心地问我发生了什么事。我喃喃地说了校长的话,之后爷爷沉默了,眼睛难以置信地转向四周。一阵后悔折磨着我的心,我真的很讨厌看到我的白发爷爷的失望。随着时间的流逝,他长叹了口气:“我的孩子,买的奖项不能被称为奖项。”我理解地点了点头。但谁知道我有多么的不情愿和痛苦呢?
Paragraph 2
I dragged into the principal’s office the next day, sad and disappointed. I knew I might never get that jacket which represented my years of hard work and expectation. However, I tried to fight back the tears, with my head still lifted with dignity. “My grandpa…won’t pay the dollars. He said if I had to pay for it, then it wouldn’t be a scholarship jacket.” There was a deafening silence. The principal looked at me, biting his lip, as if thinking. Finally, after what seemed like a century, he decided that he would make an exception for me. I could hardly believe it. Looking into his eyes, which brimmed with smiles, I stood up and bowed low to him. Only at that moment did I believe that Mr. Schmidt and my grandpa were right: never can awards be falsified or bought.
第二天,我拖进了校长的办公室,悲伤而失望。我知道我可能永远得不到那件代表我多年努力工作和期望的夹克。然而,我试图强忍住泪水,我仍然有尊严地抬着头。“我爷爷不会付钱的。他说,如果我必须付钱,那就不是奖学金外套了。震耳欲聋的寂静。校长咬着嘴唇看着我,好像在想。终于,过了一个世纪,他决定给我一个例外。我简直不敢相信。我望着他那充满微笑的眼睛,站起来,向他低声鞠了一躬。只有在那一刻,我才相信施密特先生和我爷爷是对的:奖励永远不能被伪造或购买。

Paragraph 2
I dragged into the principal’s office the next day, sad and disappointed. My head still lifted with dignity, I tried to fight back the tears, stammering, “I cannot…afford the jacket, sir.” Staring into my eyes, the principal suddenly grinned, “I have good news for you.” I looked at him in confusion. “The board decided that an award cannot be bought just for the sake of winners’ dignity.” His eyes brimmed with smiles. I pinched my hand only to find I was not dreaming. Only at that moment did I believe that Mr. Schmidt and my grandpa were right: never can awards be falsified or bought.
第二天,我拖进了校长的办公室,悲伤而失望。我仍然有尊严地抬起头,强忍住眼泪,结结巴巴地说:“我买不起外套,先生。”校长盯着我的眼睛,突然咧嘴一笑:“我有好消息告诉你。我困惑地看着他。“董事会决定,不能仅仅为了获奖者的尊严而购买一个奖项。他的眼睛里充满了微笑。我捏了捏手,却发现自己不是在做梦。只有在那一刻,我才相信施密特先生和我爷爷是对的:奖励永远不能被伪造或购买。

第15篇 永远不要失去希望
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Willie Wilson would always live lite to the fullest. He was Mr. Popular at school, the star of his middle school basketball team, with dreams of going national team. At 13, his life changed. He couldn't see the words on the blackboard clearly in class. He couldn't read books without difficulty. Soon he hardly recognized his schoolmates in the halls.
His parents took him to the eye doctor. Willie could still slam-dunk like no one else, so they thought there was nothing serious to worry about. Maybe he just needed glasses. But it kept getting worse. By 15, he was almost completely blind.
Willie didn't handle the situation very well. He came home drunk and picked fights at school with anyone who dared to make fun of his blindness. "I was trying to show everyone that there was nothing wrong with me, ”he says. "To prove that I was still the same 'Thrill Willie Wilson'." That denial was blown away one Sunday when Willie heard news on TV. At 18, he gave his life to the Lord and read books in Braille, finding comfort in God's special love for those who are weak. He went to college and was a changed man.
His progress was stopped, though. He started to lose his hearing in the same way he had lost his eyesight. By 21, he was blind and deaf. He dropped out of school, stopped education and moved back home with his parents. This time, the doctors were able to tell the cause of his symptoms-a brain tumor.
Willie's world became doctors' appointments, hospitals and surgeries. His spare time was spent recalling in his childhood bedroom. His friends disappeared. He challenged himself to learn American Sign Language so he could communicate with others by feeling their hands. His parents and relatives found signing difficult, though. Instead, they drew letters into his hand. Willie grew frustrated by the lack of meaningful conversation.

His grandfather Willie Wilson, Sr., encouraged him not to lose hope.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
However, an organization specially designed for the disabilities helped him regain his confidence and live a positive life.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
His grandfather Willie Wilson, Sr., encouraged him not to lose hope. “You can’t see or hear as well as others,” he told Willie, “but you can do anything you set your mind to do.” But Willie didn’t listen to his grandfather’s words. He couldn’t even fold his own clothes or make himself a sandwich. “I just stayed in my bed,” he recalls. His faith in his dreams was fading, like the way his sight and hearing had.
他的祖父老威利·威尔逊鼓励他不要失去希望。“你不能像别人那样看见或听不到,”他告诉威利,“但你可以做任何你想做的事情。但威利没有听他祖父的话。他甚至不能折叠自己的衣服,也不能给自己做一个三明治。“我只是呆在床上,”他回忆道。他对梦想的信心正在减弱,就像他的视力和听觉一样。
However, an organization specially designed for the disabilities helped him regain his confidence and live a positive life. He moved into one of the 15 apartments at the organization. He finally found what he’d been so desperate to regain—his independence. These days, Willie is Mr. Popular once again. His signing is improving and he often talks with his friends with his sharp sense of humor. He cooks meals and does his own laundry. Willie says, “I’m able to take care of my own business. I’m living life in my own way now—Willie style!”
然而,一个专门为残疾人设计的组织帮助他重新获得了信心,过上了积极的生活。他搬进了该组织的15套公寓之一。他终于找到了他一直渴望恢复独立的东西。如今,威利先生又一次很受欢迎了。他的签约正在改善,他经常用他敏锐的幽默感与朋友们交谈。他自己做饭,自己洗衣服。威利说:“我能够处理好我自己的生意。我现在正以我自己的方式生活——威利的风格!”

第16篇 拼写测试
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class' First- Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus,Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand (手倒立) if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-s-t-y. , Wait! She'd spelled honesty, not honestly! She erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper. “I'll correct these while you're at recess” Ms. MeCormack said.
After recess, Karie hurried into the classroom. She fidgeted (坐立不安) in her seat, tapped her pencil and looked over at her best friend, Norah. Norah crossed her fingers. Karie crossed hers, too.
Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. Then, as if she were an Olympic Gymnast,. Ms. McCormack's feet flipped ( 翻转) into the air. “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!" she announced while upside down.
The whole class erupted!
Ms. McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie grinned as she read the label on the box: To Karie Carter, for her perfect first -quarter score in spelling.
“Everything OK?”Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school.
“Everything' s perfect!”Karie shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize.
Mom hugged her.“Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he get home.”
“And Casper, too. ”Karie scooped (抱起) up her cat. “Can you spell nicely,Casper? And quickly and honesly, and. .
Karie's heart missed a beat suddenly. Honestly? H-O-N-E-SL-Y!
“Karie, what's the matter?” said Mom.
“I don't feel so good," Karie said, putting Casper down and stuffing the test paper into her backpack.
“Probably too much excitement.”Mom rubbed her back.“How about some tea?”
Paragraph 1:
Karie swallowed, “How\did you know? At is exactly what I needed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Karie pushed open the door of Ms. McCormack 's office.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1:
Karie swallowed, “How did you know? At is exactly what I needed.” Shortly afterwards, she dashed into her room and pulled out the test paper. Recalling the joyful moment, a mixture of guilt and unwillingness overwhelmed her, Karie slowly picked up her pen,hesitant. “If I put the missing t back in, no one would ever know.” she thought. The moment the nib touched the paper, she tossed the pen on the table and stormed out of the house with her backpack. She raced back to school as fast as her legs could carry her.
卡里吞了下去,“你怎么知道呢?”这正是我所需要的。不久之后,她冲进房间,拿出了测试纸。卡莉回忆起这个快乐的时刻,一种内疚和不情愿的混合物淹没了她,她慢慢地拿起笔,犹豫着。“如果我把失踪的t放回去,就没有人会知道了。”她想。小刀一碰到报纸,她就把笔扔在桌子上,背着背包冲出了房子。她以双腿最快的速度跑回学校。
Paragraph 2:
Karie pushed open the door of Ms. McCormack’s office. At the sight of Karie, Ms. McCormack asked her what was happening. Karie unzipped her bag, pulled out the prize and handed it to her teacher. Head down, she explained her mistake in spelling competition. For a moment, Ms. McCormack stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary. Then she picked up a pen, crossed out the word perfect on the label and wrote honest before handing the prize back to Karie. “I get to keep this? Honestly?” she asked suspiciously, “Not for the spelling mistake you made,” Ms. McCormack smiled “But for your honesty.”
卡里推开了科马克女士办公室的门。一看到卡里,科马克女士就问她发生了什么事。卡里解开包的拉链,拿出奖品,递给了她的老师。她低下头,解释了她在拼写比赛中的错误。麦克·科马克女士静静地站着,读着字典上的标签。然后她拿起一支笔,在标签上划掉了“完美”一词,然后诚实地写了下来,然后把奖品还给了卡里。“我要保留这个吗?”诚实吗?她怀疑地问,“不是为了你犯的拼写错误,”科马克女士笑着说,“而不是为了你的诚实。”
【答案】Later Dad came in with excitement. "Where's your spelling test, Karie? "Dad asked eagerly. Karie looked away from her father. Anyhow, she reluctantly went to her room and pulled out the test paper. Dad fixed his eyes on the paper, a pleasant smile lifting the corner of his mouth. "I'm proud of you, sweetie. We need to celebrate it tonight." Karie pretended to be smiling all the time. Meanwhile a sense of guilt rose inside her. Feeling she didn't deserve the prize, she had a sleepless night for the first time in her life.
后来,爸爸兴奋地进来了。“你的拼写测试在哪里,卡丽?””爸爸急切地问道。卡莉把父亲移开了。不管怎样,她不情愿地走进自己的房间,拿出了测试纸。爸爸的眼睛盯着纸,嘴角露出了愉快的微笑。“我为你感到骄傲,亲爱的。今晚我们需要庆祝一下。”卡里一直假装都在微笑。与此同时,她心中产生了一种内疚感。她觉得自己不配得到这个奖项,所以她有生以来第一次有了一个不眠之夜。
The next morning, Karie went to school earlier than usual. Ms. McCormack was unlocking the classroom. "You're an early bird." Ms. McCormack said. Karie's hands trembled. She handed her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary. "I can't keep this. I misspelled' honestly' and you didn't catch it. "For a moment, Ms. McCormack stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary. Then picking up her pen, she crossed out the word "perfect" and wrote "honest" before returning the dictionary to Karie. "Keep this. But for honesty."
第二天早上,卡里比平时更早地去上学了。Ms.Mc·科马克正在打开教室。“你是一只早起的鸟。”Ms.Mc科马克说。卡里的手颤抖着。她把拼写纸和字典递给了老师。“我不能保留这个。我拼错了,你没抓到。麦克·科马克女士静静地站着,读着字典上的标签。然后她拿起笔,划掉了“完美的”这个词,写了个“诚实的”,然后把字典还给卡里。“保留这个。但这并不是为了诚实。”
【分析】
本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Karie在拼写测试中取得了完美的成绩,结果她回家才发现,自己“诚实”的单词拼写错了,但是老师没有发现。Karie陷入了沉思,不知道要不要告诉老师,不过最终Karie还是去学校告诉了老师这个错误。

第17篇 音乐会
I remember the day Dad first brought the heavy accordion(手风琴) home. He gathered my mother and me in the living room and opened the case as if it were a treasure box. “Here it is,’’he said. “Once you learn to play, it’ll stay with you for life." If my thin smile didn’t match his great pleasure,it was because I had prayed for a guitar. For the next two weeks, the accordion was stored in the hall closet. Then one evening, Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week.
Shortly after, my lessons began with Mr. Zelii at the Allegro Accordion School. On my first day, with straps(手风琴皮带) straining my shoulder" felt clumsy in every way. “How did he do?” my father asked when it was over. “Fine for the first lesson.”said Mr. Zelli. Dad glowed with hope. I was ordered to practice half an hour every day, and every day I tried to get out of it. My future seemed to be outside playing ball, not in the house mastering songs I would soon forget, but my parents urged me to practice.
Gradually,to my surprise, I was able to string notes together and coordinate my hands to play simple songs. Often, after supper, my father would request a tune or two. As he sat in his easy chair, I would play through Lady of Spain and Beer Barrel Polka. "Very nice, better than last week," he’d say.
With the fall recital (演奏会)approaching, I would have to play a solo on a local movie theater’s stage. I wanted to skip the whole thing. Emotions boiled over in the car one Sunday afternoon.
“I don’t want to play a solo,”I said. “You have to,” replied my father. “Why?” I shouted. “Because you didn’t get to play your violin when you were a kid? Why should I have to play this stupid instrument when you never had to play yours?” Dad pulled the car over and pointed at me.
“Because you can bring people Joy. You can touch their hearts. That’s a gift I won’t let you throw away." He added softly, “Someday you’ll have the chance I never had: you’ll play beautiful music for your family. And you will understand why you’ve worked so hard. ”
I was speechless. I had rarely heard Dad speak with such feeling about anything, much less the accordion. From then on, I practiced without parents’ making me.

1.答案:
The evening of the concert Mom wore glittery earrings and more makeup than I could remember. Dad got out of work early, putting on a suit and tie. They were an hour early, so we sat in the living room chatting nervously. I got the unspoken message that playing this one song was a dream for them. Finally, it was my turn. I walked to the chair stage and put on my performance without mistake. The applause spilled out, with a few hands still clapping after others had stopped. As the years went by, I went to college and the accordion stayed behind in the hall closet next to my father’s violin.
音乐会那天晚上,妈妈戴着闪闪发光的耳环,化妆超出我记得的。爸爸早早下班,穿上西装,打上领带。他们提前了一个小时,所以我们坐在客厅里紧张地聊天。我得到了一个无声的信息,播放这首歌对他们来说是一个梦想。最后,该轮到我了。我走到椅子舞台上,毫无错误地开始了我的表演。掌声爆发出来,在其他人停止掌声后,几只手还在鼓掌。随着时间的流逝,我上了大学,手风琴留在了我父亲小提琴旁边的大厅壁橱里。
One afternoon several years later when my two children discovered it by accident. When I opened the case, they laughed and said, “Play it, play it.” Reluctantly, I strapped on the accordion and played some simple songs. Soon the kids were dancing in circles and giggling. Even my wife was laughing and clapping to the beat. My father’s words came back to me: “Someday you’ll have the chance I never had. Then you’ll understand.” I finally knew what it meant to work hard and sacrifice for others. Dad had been right all along: the most precious gift is to touch the hearts of those you love.
几年后的一个下午,我的两个孩子偶然发现了它。当我打开箱子时,他们笑着说:“弹了吧,弹了吧。”我不情愿地系上手风琴,弹了一些简单的歌。很快,孩子们就转着起来,咯咯地笑起来。就连我的妻子也在笑着鼓掌。我父亲的话又回到我身边:“总有一天你会有我从来没有过的机会。然后你就明白了。“我终于知道了努力工作和为他人做出牺牲意味着什么。爸爸一直都是对的:最珍贵的礼物是触摸你所爱的人的心。
第18篇 游泳比赛
Mike licked (舔) the last of the chocolate ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite flavored ice cream before they left home. As Mike climbed out the pool, his teammates patted (拍) him on the back. He’d taken first place again in his race.
As it turned out, Mike decided to have some chocolate ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets that came up. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of being placed in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but he was also starting to feel a little uncomfortable. All that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build.
It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place---and then third and then last place in his races. The lucky chocolate ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, I think we need to talk about this. We all love ice cream, but it’s got lots of fat and sugar in it, and it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it.” Mike unwillingly agreed. His father offered to go running with him few days a week to help strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim.
It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn’t sure what to expect. He felt healthy again, but he didn’t know if he still had any speed in the pool.

One possible version:
As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. Whenever he came up for a breath, he could see he was gaining on the boy ahead of him in the next lane. Feeling determined to pass him, Mike found the power in his muscles he needed to swim ahead, and as his hand touched the edge of the pool, the race was over. He lifted his swim glasses off his head and looked at the electronic board. He knew he wasn’t last, but what was his time?
当他跳入水中时,他踢着双腿,尽量伸开双臂。每当他走上呼吸,他就能看见他在隔壁车道抓住前面的那个男孩。迈克决心要超过他,他在肌肉中找到了向前游泳的力量,当他的手碰到泳池边缘时,比赛结束了。他举起头上的游泳眼镜,看了看电子板。他知道自己不是最后一个,但他是什么时候呢?
His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else' s too. Mike had won his race, and he had also qualified for the national championships. The audience and his teammates cheered loudly, and his parents were laughing from ear to ear. “Hey son, let' s go and have some of your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father. “Thanks, Dad, but I’ll pass on the ice cream; it’s not such a lucky charm after all!”
当他意识到自己已经打败了自己最好的时光,以及其他人最好的时光时,他放下了下巴。迈克赢得了比赛,他也获得了参加全国锦标赛的资格。观众和他的队友们大声欢呼,他的父母哈哈大笑。“嘿,儿子,让我们去吃你最喜欢的冰淇淋庆祝!”他的父亲说。“谢谢,爸爸,但我会把冰淇淋传出去。这毕竟不是什么幸运魅力!”
第19篇 小男孩与老人
A Little Boy
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
Dust found the boy lingering on and hesitating what to do. As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota ( 份 额 ) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said,“Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?” the little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door and said: “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.
第一段:
The boy headed back down to the old man’s house. The dog figurine witnessed the little boy’s ending up opening the door once more. Upon seeing the boy for a second time, the old man couldn’t bring his anger under control any longer. “Haven’t I told you I need no magazines at all?” He snapped at the boy. “Yes, sir.” said the little boy with an uneasy expression on his face, “But I think you will like the figurine.” Then he handed it to the old man. Taking the figurine from the boy’s hands, the lonely soul was so astonished that words failed to convey his emotions, tears welling up in his eyes. Out of gratitude, he bought a magazine from the boy and saw him off.
那男孩回到了老人的家。狗雕像见证了小男孩再次开门。第二次见到男孩,老人再也无法控制他的愤怒了。“我没告诉过你我根本不需要杂志吗?”他对男孩说。“是的,先生。”小男孩脸上带着不安的表情说,“但我想你会喜欢这个小雕像的。”然后他把它递给了老人。这个孤独的灵魂从男孩手里接过小雕像,非常惊讶,言语无法表达他的情感,眼泪在他的眼睛里涌了出来。出于感激之情,他从那个男孩那里买了一本杂志,然后把他送走了。
第二段:
From that day on something changed inside the old man. The neighborhood always found the old man hanging out and smiling at everyone. He showed his precious collections to children who were now very willing to play with him. He used to collect figurines in memory of a real live dog which had kept company with him for a long time before it died. But now, he wasn’t drowned in the sorrows and loneliness anymore.He had realized the true spirit of life!
从那天起,老人的内心就发生了什么变化。邻居们总是发现老人在外面闲逛,对着每个人微笑。他把他珍贵的收藏品展示给那些现在非常愿意和他一起玩的孩子们。他过去常常收集小雕像来纪念一只真正活着的狗,这只狗在它死前已经和他交往了很长一段时间。但现在,他不再沉浸在悲伤和孤独中了。他已经意识到了真正的生活精神!

“What’s wrong with you, dear?” said Granny Bell to a little boy, who sat near a wall at the back of the house. He had a book in his hand, and tears were in his eyes.
“We have all got a poem called Little Jim to learn,” said the boy, whose name was Tom Blair,” and the one who says the best is to get a prize from the master. But I don’t think I can learn it.”
“Why not?” said Granny Bell.
“The boys say that I can’t, and that I need not try,” said Tom in a sad tone. “Don’t mind what the boys say. Let them see that you can learn it.” said his frie
“But I don’t think I can.” said Tom,” it is so long, and some of the words are so hard. I know I need not try for the prize. But I would like to learn the poem as well as I can; for the boys laugh at me, and call me ‘Slow Tom’.”
“Well, dear,” said Granny Bell, in a kind voice, “if you are slow, and can’t help it, try to be slow and sure, as they say. Look at the snail(蜗牛) on the wall; how slow it is! And yet, if you watch it, you will see it will get to the top in time. So just try to learn a few lines each day, and you may gain the prize in the end. And when you feel like losing heart, think of the snail on the wall.”
After Granny Bell had said this, she went on her way. And Tom thought that, though he could not keep up with the boys, he might run a race with the snail. So he determined to try to learn his task by the time the snail got to the top of the wall.

Paragraph 1:
At last, the day came on which the master was to give the prize, and after he called upon five or six boys to repeat the poem, it came to Tom’s turn. Regardless of the unfriendly whispers and giggles among the boys, Tom closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then started to recite the poem, slow and sure, with a peaceful yet powerful voice. The classroom suddenly fell into silence, only Tom’s voice ringing around. Everyone was astonished at the fluency and proficiency with which he spoke, and the master was no exception. The moment he finished, a shower of applause exploded.
最后,主人颁发奖品的那一天,他叫五六个男孩重复这首诗,轮到汤姆了。不管孩子们之间有什么不友好的窃窃私语和咯咯的咯笑,汤姆还是闭上眼睛,深吸了一口气,然后开始平静而坚定地背诵这首诗。教室突然一片了,只有汤姆的声音响。每个人都对他说话的流利和熟练感到惊讶,主人也不例外。他一说完,就发出一阵掌声。
Paragraph 2:
“Well done!Tom! Well done! Tell me how you made it!” said the master with great joy. Tom scratched his head with a shy smile, and told the story of Granny Bell with tears shinning in his eyes. “I know I am as slow as a snail, but the snail also can achieve his dream with great persistence and determination.” In another huge wave of cheers, the master gave the prize to Tom who deserved it well. We may face difficulties and prejudice in life, but nothing is impossible if we put our heart into it.
“干得好!”汤姆!干得好了!告诉我你是怎么做到的!主人非常高兴地说。汤姆害羞地微笑着搔了挠头,讲述着贝尔奶奶的故事。“我知道我像蜗牛一样慢,但蜗牛也可以以极大的毅力和决心实现他的梦想。在另一波巨大的欢呼声中,主人把奖品给了他应得的汤姆。我们可能会在生活中面临困难和偏见,但如果我们用心投入其中,没有什么是不可能的。
