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。

David is a 22-year-old man. Not having received a college education, he found it difficult to find a job. He worked at a small company and wasn't paid well. He thought life was unfair and often complained.

One day, his boss asked him to go to his office. To his sadness, he was told he didn't need to come to work again.

That day, David didn't go straight back to the small apartment he shared with another man. He wanted to find a quiet place and sit there quietly for some time. Having lost his job, he had no idea what to do.

He walked and walked. Finally he stopped in front of a beautiful house. The house had a very big garden behind it. He saw an old man sitting in the garden.

"The old man must be a millionaire thought David, "How I wish I were him! If I were him, I wouldn't have to work and I'd have a large amount of money. I would be the happiest man in the whole world. "

Thinking how poor he was, David was even sadder. He hurriedly walked forward and found a place and sat there quietly.

Finally, he became hungry and decided to go back home. On his way back home, he passed the old man's house again. This time the man was sitting in his front yard. When David passed by him, he noticed that the old man was looking at him. The old man looked as if he admired him very much. David was confused. Why would such a rich man admire him? He was so poor while he was so rich.

Finally, David decided to have a talk with the old man. So he stopped and walked to the old man.

“Hello,” he said.

"Hello,” said the old man.

Then they started talking. David told the old man he really admired him.

“You have such a beautiful house. You're so rich! How I wish I were you!" said David.

Hearing that, the old man smiled and said, "And I admire you, too! I wish I were you! If

I were you, I'd still enjoy my youth. Now I'm so old. Wealth doesn't mean much to me!”

Paragraph 1: What the old man said struck David. He suddenly realized that wealth wouldn't really mean much if one was already so old. What the old man really wanted was what he still enjoyed-his youth. It was the most valuable thing he had. He realized that he was still young and everything was possible for him. David looked at the old man again and this time he no longer admired him. He knew he still had chance to become rich. But the old man could never become young again. Paragraph 2: David stopped complaining about his life. Instead, he decided to make a change. Later he found work again. This time he worked hard and tried his best to learn new things in his free time. He even went to attend a course at a night school. Two years later, he found better work. And some years later, he started his own business. Finally, he became rich. But he knew that wealth wasn't the most important in his life. He wanted to live life to its fullest. 【解析】 这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给文章可知,文章主要讲叙了大卫失业后看见了一位富人,和这位富裕的老人交谈后,大卫决定做出改变。他学习新东西,慢慢地开始了自己的事业,然后变得富有了的故事。 续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:老人的话打动了大卫。后文应当描写他意识到自己还年轻,一切对他来说都是可能的。而老人,再也不能年轻了。第二段开头是:大卫不再抱怨他的生活。后文应当描写大卫决定做出改变。他学习新东西,慢慢地开始了自己的事业,然后变得富有了。但他知道财富不是他生命中最重要的,他想过上充实的生活。注意使用划线的提示词语。

    When we talk about positive thinking, we often use terms having to do with our hearts — open heart, pure heart or joyful heart. But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina (心绞痛)a common heart condition.

Symptoms of this condition include chest pain or pressure because the heart is not receiving sufficient oxygen. Patients who displayed optimistic thought patterns, including having positive expectations about recovery, were 40 percent less likely to be hospitalized or require surgery than those who were not optimistic, according to the study. The researchers collected data from 2,400 patients who had diagnoses of angina.

An interesting additional finding from the patients' questionnaires was that the most optimistic patients were also the least likely to have histories of heart attack, heart failure or heart disease.

The researchers did not declare a causal relationship between positive thinking and better heart disease outcomes, however. There are multiple possible reasons for the results of the study, including the idea that patients who are healthier to begin with are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health.

But the study does represent a new way of looking at the situation. Now, in addition to a body of research that examines the relationship between depression and heart health, there is a new way of inquiry that asks whether positive thinking could be used as a strategy to improve outcomes.

Lead researcher Alexander Fanaroff, a fellow in the department of cardiology (心脏病学) at the Duke University Medical Center, told the Duke Chronicle that his next research question will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients.

Perhaps his subjects could reflect on the word of the writer Anthony J. D'Angelo: "Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart."

1.How can people with angina get better according to the study?

A.By expecting more. B.By thinking positively.

C.By getting timely surgery. D.By taking more exercise.

2.What may be Alexander Fanaroff’s next research?

A.To explore how to improve patients’ attitudes.

B.To find out the ways to treat heart patients.

C.To learn the causes of heart diseases.

D.To test if positive attitudes help with health.

3.What can we learn from the text?

A.Optimistic people hardly get heart attack.

B.People's attitudes decide their overall health.

C.How positive thinking benefits heart health is unclear.

D.The reason why patients recover well is that they have no depression.

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A.Keep positive to get rid of illness

B.Angina, a kind of serious condition

C.Depression, a key cause of heart attack

D.Positive thinking makes hearts healthier
