　　Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department. No one wanted to work on New Year’s Eve，so the shift（轮班）went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.

　　At 9 pm，the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale，and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend New Year with my family，I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough，but he had survived the night and was sleeping.

　　The following year I got New Year’s Eve duty again. At 9 pm sharp，the ward clerk told me there were a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them，the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said，“You probably don’t remember me，but last New Year’s Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me.”He and his wife hugged me，handed me a small gift，and left.

　　The following year a new doctor had joined the group，but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time，I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again，at exactly 9 pm，the Lees appeared，carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild.

　　Mr. Lee，his family and I spent 13 New Year’s Eves together. In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room，where we spent a half-hour each New Year’s Eve.

Last year I saw Mrs. Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me.

　　I carefully opened the package and found a crystal （水晶） bell inside with the word “Friendship” engraved（雕刻） on it.

步骤一：品读语篇——抓住要点很关键

　　前文概要

　　审体裁：记叙文

　　审时态：一般过去时

　　审前文大意以及要点

　　第一段：介绍作者新到一家小医院急诊室上班，新年前夜值班；

　　第二段：介绍作者在新年前夜抢救了一位患心脏病的病人，早上病人转危为安；

　　第三段：病人夫妇感恩作者，到医院送礼物；

　　第四段：作者主动值夜班，期望见到病人夫妇；

　　第五段：连续13年病人夫妇都在新年前夜和作者团聚。

步骤二：戴着镣铐跳舞——研读首句，高度融合原文，合理想象情节

　　1.第一段所给首句：Last year I saw Mrs. Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me.

　　上文提到Mr. Lee一家人连续13年和作者一起过新年前夜，结合首句中的alone可知，Mr. Lee可能因病去世，而Mrs. Lee拿着的礼物，可能是Mr. Lee临终前留给作者的。

　　2. 第二段所给首句：I carefully opened the package and found a crystal bell inside with the word “Friendship”engraved on it.

　　作者打开包裹看到的是一个上面刻着单词“友谊”的水晶铃。由此作者所想到的应该是他们一起度过的新年前夜以及他们之间的友谊。

　　结尾句：应该围绕the crystal bell收尾。

步骤三：斟酌打磨——丰富续写词汇，生动描述情节

　　话题激活词汇

　　疾病：heart attack，headache，stomachache，toothache

　　动作：kiss，spend，give，hug，survive，sleep，die

　　礼物：gift，present，package，bell

　　Last year I saw Mrs. Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me. Mrs. Lee looked pale. She told me Mr. Lee had died from another heart attack two days ago. He had never forgotten our appointment，so he prepared the last gift days ago. He lived with a grateful heart and had a meaningful life for as long as 13 years. The appointment was a reminder of the fortune he got from me. Mrs. Lee then handed me a package.

　　I carefully opened the package and found a crystal bell inside with the word “Friendship” engraved on it. Seeing the bell，I looked back on the New Year’s Eves spent with the Lees and the friendship between us. Now，my family，my friends and I ring that bell on every New Year’s Eve at exactly 9 pm，offering our best wishes to the men who we won’t forget.
