读后续写情节发展合理化
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。
In the cold_and_plain living_room,_Matt is sitting in his chair. His eyes don't shine anymore. He looks extremely old and weak. Today is his birthday,_and he is by himself. The only thing that he has been doing all day is thinking about how sad and lonely his life is. As he was looking at some old pictures, he found one special with him and his friends from college. This picture brought back the days when he had friends and his life was full of happiness. Also, it brought him a sad memory. This memory happened forty years ago, during his last year of college.
Throughout college, Matt had a friend named Mark. Mark was tall and skinny. He wore thick glasses. He was shy, smart and responsible. Also, Mark didn't have as many friends as Matt had. He considered Matt as his best friend. As good friends, they knew everything about each other, and they hung out. Also, they overcame many problems together. They were really good friends.
On his twenty­fourth birthday their life changed. On the night before his birthday, Mark called Matt, “Hi! Matt，” his voice sounded strange. He continued, “I have an important project to work_on. I'm having some problem with this. Maybe, you could come over and help me with it giving me some new ideas. Could you？” Matt asked, “What time？” Mark kept in silence for a minute, and then he said, “At 8 p．m. Is it good for you？” Then Matt answered, “Ok! See you later.” On that night, it was Matt's birthday. So, he didn't want to spend his birthday helping Mark with his project. Matt went to a club with some other guys.
The next morning, Matt noticed that Mark was acting differently. When he went to talk to Mark, Mark ignored him completely. He left the classroom without saying one word. As Mark was walking away, Matt said in an angry voice, “You are selfish. You are just thinking about yourself. I was having fun on my birthday. Why can't you understand it？”
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
While he was saying it, Mallory, one of his classmates and friends, stood up and started to say，　



Paragraph 2：
Tears fell from his eyes.　



[写作步骤]
第一步：速读全文
文本大意：本文是一篇记叙文。自私的Matt因为只想着自己的生日而忽视了朋友并责备朋友，从而失去了朋友的信任，成为了一个没有朋友的人。
叙述意图：文章告诉我们要坦诚对待朋友。
第二步：细读全文
1．所给短文情景模式分析。
who
Matt, Mark
what
Matt didn't keep his promise when his friend turned to him for help. However, he thought his friend selfish.
when
during his last year of college
where
in the cold and plain living room
why
He didn't want to spend his birthday helping Mark with his project. When he went to talk to Mark, Mark ignored him completely.

2．对原文所提供的下划线词语进行分类。
★人物：friend, Mark
★事件：birthday, night, project
★地点： living room, classroom
★动作与心理描写： call, work on, cold and plain
第三步：精心谋篇
1．Paragraph 1：While he was saying it, Mallory, one of his classmates and friends, stood up and started to say，
正当他说那件事的时候，他的一个同学兼朋友Mallory站了起来，开始说，
[情节分析]　根据提示句可知，本段应描写通过Matt和Mallory的对话，Matt了解了事情的缘由：Mark给Matt准备了一个生日聚会，但联系不到 Matt；这些让Matt的朋友很生气，但Matt还责怪他的朋友。
Paragraph 2：Tears fell from his eyes. 泪水从他的眼中滑落。
[情节分析]　根据本段开头语的提示，要着重描写Matt 在朋友离开后的心理活动，使之与本文的开头相呼应。Matt不知道该说什么，也不知道该做什么来弥补过错，他的朋友都离开了教室，教室就他独自一人，就像他现在的客厅一样。
第四步：初写成文
Paragraph 1：
1．你怎么能对Mark说这种话？
How_can_you say so to Mark?
2．你不知道发生了什么事！
You don't know what_happened!
3．昨天晚上，他给你打了很多次电话，但是没有得到你的任何答复。
Last night, he called_you many times, but he didn't get any answer from you.
4．他担心你发生了什么问题。
He worried about what_was_going_wrong_with you.
5．Matt开始向Mallory道歉，并对自己说：“他为什么要这样做？他可以自己做他的项目，而且……”
Matt started to apologize to Mallory and to himself, saying, “Why did he do it? He could work_on_the_project by himself, and ...”
6．Mallory生气地说：“住嘴！”
Mallory spoke angrily, “Shut_up！”
7．他为你准备了一个惊喜生日聚会，我们整晚都在等你或者你的电话。
He had prepared a_surprise_birthday_party for you, and we waited for you or for a call all night long.
Paragraph 2：
8．Matt不知道该说什么，也不知道该做什么。
Matt didn't know what_he_should_say or what he should do.
9．他还没来得及说话，Mallory已经离开了教室。
Before_he_said_anything,_Mallory had left the classroom.
10．他坐下来，在那里待了很长时间。
He sat down and stayed_there for a long time.
11．他环顾了一下教室。寒冷而普通的教室里没有他的朋友。
He looked_around the classroom. It was cold and plain without his friends.
12．它是空的，就像他现在的客厅一样。
It was empty, just_like_his_living_room now.
第五步：润色升级
1．用高级词汇替换要点3中的get any answer from。
get any answer from→get_through_to
2．用“疑问词＋不定式”改写要点8。
Matt_didn't_know_what_to_say_or_what_to_do.
3．用定语从句改写要点11。
He_looked_around_the_classroom,_which_was_cold_and_plain_without_his_friends.
第六步：复查定稿
Paragraph 1：
While he was saying it, Mallory, one of his classmates and friends, stood up and started to say, “How can you say so to Mark? You don't know what happened! Last night, he called you many times, but he didn't get through to you. He worried about what was going wrong with you.” Matt started to apologize to Mallory and to himself, saying, “Why did he do it? He could work_on the project by himself, and ... ” At that time Mallory spoke angrily, “Shut up! He had prepared a surprise birthday party for you, and we waited for you or for a call all night long.”
Paragraph 2：
Tears fell from his eyes. Matt didn't know what to say or what to do. Before he said anything, Mallory had left the classroom. He sat down and stayed there for a long time. He looked around the classroom, which was cold_and_plain without his friends. It was empty, just like his living_room now.

二、复现话题词汇——提高阅读准度
新高考下的命题新视角：近年来，很多父母都选择让自己的孩子出国接受西方国家的教育，在他们看来，这样可以为孩子的未来打下更扎实的基础。因此“出国热”一度成为热门话题，高考中也会涉及此类话题，以此探讨出国留学的利与弊。实际上，无论是在国内还是在外国接受教育，取长补短，才能培养出更多更优秀的人才。

[2]Statistics show that 34,578 Chinese students are studying in primary and secondary schools in the US, or 52 percent of all international students there.When Tangwei first arrived at the school in 2009, the 18­year­old found that South Koreans were in the largest number at their boarding house.Then Chinese students took the place, as China has increased in affluence and economic success.
[3]Ma Shuheng, a senior at the high school, said, “Not only is the number increasing, the standard for admission is higher, too.” He said that when he first applied in 2012, there was hardly any limit to entry.“Now, most students who get in have a 90­plus TOEFL score, ” he added, referring to the Test of English as a Foreign Language.
[4]One of the reasons for many Chinese students studying in US schools is to escape the Gaokao, China's national entrance examination, and the fierce competition that comes with it.The other motivation is to get prepared for US colleges.“More younger Chinese students choose to go to US high schools, as more parents believe that this leads to a better education if their kids finally choose to go to US universities and colleges, ” said Yu Haoyang, founder of Global Intellect Consulting in Beijing.“They believe that US high schools offer better English­language and cultural training, and it is easier for their kids to master these skills and become more competitive, ” she said.
