“What will we be singing fr cntest this year?” a student frm my high schl chir asked eagerly.
I dreaded (害怕) this mment. “I was thinking,” I said, “maybe we’ll skip the cntest and just wrk hard n the cncerts this year.”
“NO!” the kids prtested.
“We’ve gt t g t cntest!”
“In Class A.”
“It’s traditin!”
This was true. Medals lined the frnt wall f the music rm frm the past successes f large, talented classes. But a swing in educatinal plicies, with an emphasis n academics, had reduced my chir t a me re thirty-tw students. My sectin leaders had graduated r been frced t drp music classes, leaving me with yung, inexperienced kids wh culdn’t read music, culdn’t hld their parts, and culd sing nly a simple meldy.
“Maybe we culd enter Class B this year,” I suggested, knwing even that wuld be a near-impssible missin.
“N!” the kids screamed. “Class A!”
I shk my head, hping their enthusiasm wuld die ff in a cuple f weeks.
Finally ne mrning I entered the classrm. “Lk at the clck!” I demanded. “We’ve wasted tw full minutes because sme f yu dn’t have yur music ready. If we are entering the cntest in Class A…” The rest f my sentence was lst in screams f delight and applause.
“Frm nw n,” I cntinued when the nise faded away, “yu will find the day’s lessn plan n the bard. Be in yur seats with yur music flders n the desk when the bell rings and sit at attentin, ready fr warm-ups the instant I’m ready t begin. When I’m wrking with ne sectin, there will be n talking frm the thers. Yu will listen, and yu will learn. Yu will wrk harder than yu’ve ever wrked in any class befre. And if ne f these rules is brken, we will nt g t the cntest. Des everyne agree t this?”

【答案】
I was certain they wuld fail t keep this cntract. Hwever, things didn’t g n as I expected. The kids in my class behaved as if they had changed. As the weeks prgressed, each mrning the kids practised singing, wrked n reading music, learned musical terms, practiced rhythm and marked changes, prepared cncert music, and went ver and ver the three cntest numbers.
When the day finally arrived, the kids felt ready t win the cntest. As my chir went n the stage, I muthed, “Smile!” They lked cnfident. I tk a deep breath, and we began. They perfrmed masterfully. Tw very lng hurs later the results were psted. I std frzen, staring at the list in disbelief: a First Place award with the highest marks f all. All arund kids were screaming and embracing. Warm tears wet my cheeks. I was surrunded by kids wh had a dream-kids wh refused t give up—kids wh taught me t never dubt the pssibility f success fr any student r any class ever again.
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事发展为线索。讲述了作者的唱诗班因为教育政策改变，导致唱诗班的优秀学生变少，剩余一些音乐资质不好的学生，但学生们对待音乐的热情高涨，强烈要求参加比赛，虽然我勉强答应，但担心比赛结果会打击孩子们的自尊心，然而孩子们并没有就此放弃，于是我决心与他们一起迎接挑战，经过不懈的努力，最终取得第一名的成绩。
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“我确信他们不会遵守这个约定。”可知，第以段可描写作者吃惊地看到孩子们努力练习的过程。
②由第二段句首内容“当这一天终于到来的时候，孩子们觉得自己已经准备好赢得比赛了。”可知，第二段描述孩子们带着作者的鼓励信心满满地的参加比赛，并取得了令人难以置信的第一名。孩子们永不放弃的精神使我明白了，永远不要怀疑任何学生或班级取得成功的可能性。
2.续写线索：努力练习——参加比赛——取得第一名——感悟
