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。

Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness which I shall never forget.

On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles (导弹) as they rolled to the edge of the roof and shot out into the yard like comets (彗星) falling from the sky.

I found myself a perfectly smooth stone and sent it for a ride. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch (走廊). At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble and ran away.

I was too scared about getting caught that I was concerned about the old lady with the broken window all the time that night. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to look into her eyes.

I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.

Paragraph 1: I waited until it was dark. Then I set off. Along my paper route, I became more and more nervous, and my steps getting slower and slower. The darkness like evil almost stopped my breath. Seeing the cold wind shouting towards the broken window caused by the stone, I put the envelope I didn’t sign through the letter slot in her door. My soul felt redeemed and once again, I could have the freedom of looking straight into the old lady’s kind eyes. Paragraph 2: The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. She greeted me warmly as usual. However, she took out the envelope when I was about to leave. She told me she had read my note. She knew that it was me! Shocked as I was, I stood like a stone. Wearing a big smile, she said, “That was not a big deal, my dear. You have regretted for it and apologized, which has already ended the mistake.” She returned me the seven dollars and I was sure there was something glorious shinning in her eyes. I got to know it was the grace of forgiveness. 【解析】 这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给文章可知,文章主要记叙了作者在四十多年前的一次经历。作者和一个朋友朝一位老妇人的屋顶上扔石头,然后看着它们滚落下来,结果却打碎了老妇人的玻璃,逃跑后作者每天给她报纸时,她仍然微笑着向自己打招呼,作者开始感到内疚,于是决定攒下送报纸赚下的钱,放在一个信封里并写下小纸条,告诉她用这笔钱支付换玻璃的费用。 续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:我等到天黑。后文应当描写作者出发了,沿着送报纸的路线走向老妇人家。作者很紧张,看到破着洞的窗户,作者几乎屏住了呼吸,把没有签名的信封通过投信口放进去了。感觉自己挽回了做错的事情,可以再次轻松地面对这位老妇人了。第二段开头是:第二天,我递给老妇人报纸。后文可以描写她像往常一样热情地和作者打招呼。但是当作者要离开时,她取出信封并告诉作者她知道这些事情和作者有关。 这让作者震惊不已,但她告诉作者那没什么大不了的,还把七美元还给了作者,作者就此感受到了宽恕的力量。注意要使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语。

    My husband and I had tried for many years to have children, but it just never happened. So we applied to be foster parents(养父母). We decided we should start with an older child for a number of reasons. Since we both worked, child care might be a problem. Our dog Corby might be a bit too energetic for a young child.1.We sat back and prepared to wait for the few months they thought it might take to get a school-age child to pass——which was why we were at a loss when the agency called us within weeks, just before Christmas, and asked if we would take Kaleb, a two-and-a-half-year-old boy, for a few months.

This wasn't what we had discussed a few weeks before.2.It was such short notice. We had made holiday plans and most of all, the boy was toddler(初学走路的孩子)! We went back and forth, and in the end, we just couldn't say no.

The day was set for Kaleb to arrive. We went outside to greet our little guest. But before we could even reach the child, I heard a noise from behind me.3.I gasped(因惊异吸气). Corby would frighten Kaleb——probably even knock him down.

Corby reached Kaleb before either of us could grab her. She hounded up to the boy and immediately began licking his face with joy.4.. His face light up with excitement, he cried, "Can this be my dog?

Kaleb came to stay those few months.5.Yes, we’adopted Kaleb. He became our son, and Corby…well, she couldn’t have been happier. She turned out to be Kaleb’s dog, after all.

A.Privately, I was full of doubts.

B.There were so many difficulties,

C.Eight and a half years later, he is still with us.

D.Turning, I saw Corby heading straight for the little boy.

E.In our hurry, we must not have closed the door completely.

F.And honestly,we were a little nervous about taking on a baby.

G.In response, this little boy threw his arms around the dog’s neck and turned toward us.

    On April 12th, two African American men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and sat down to wait for their friend.Because they had not bought anything, an employee asked them to leave.When the two men refused, the employee called the police, and in minutes, they were arrested.It was not until later that day that they were let go.

The video of this incident posted on Twitter went viral.People across the US were outraged.Unfortunately, these practices are not uncommon today.This incident is just one example of implicit bias(内隐偏见), something that is a part of human nature.

Most of the time, implicit bias refers to people showing negative associations towards people of a different race.Starting from a young age, these feelings develop unconsciously and naturally, because our brain draws associations based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences.

Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to our society.There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers, such as in the cases of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, which happened only two years ago.Implicit bias affects the justice system, our medical system where studies show minorities are less likely to be taken seriously, and job placements where white males are likely to be judged as more capable compared to women and other minorities.

Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicly apologized to the two men, and Starbucks will be holding an anti-bias training meeting on May 29th. All Starbucks stores will be closed on that day.However, critics and experts have said that such training is done "for show" rather than to promote change.

To address this issue, many experts agree that what the world needs is a long-term program that targets the root cause.It also starts with promoting diversity in children from an early age when they have friends and playmates from different races and cultures.

1.What does the underlined word "outraged" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Very angry. B.Quite curious. C.Very delighted. D.Quite puzzled.

2.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A.The nature of implicit bias. B.The examples of implicit bias.

C.The basic concepts of implicit bias. D.The negative effects of implicit bias.

3.What might experts think of the anti-bias training meeting?

A.It will be a shame for Starbucks B.lt will be a meaningless practice.

C.It will raise the police's reputation. D.lt will raise public awareness of anti-bias.

4.What might many experts agree with?

A.Starbucks should be closed.

B.Implicit bias should be ignored.

C.Children should be taught to avoid implicit bias.

D.Implicit bias should be dealt with by the policemen.

    A lot of us lose life’s tough situations by mounting a frontal attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to chalk up a win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, Sam, who hit a traffic jam on the way to work. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s constant lateness-serious illness at home, he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down with a dismissal speech prepared.

He was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room. Sam’s boss approached him. Suddenly, Sam reached out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’ m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job which I understand became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?” The room exploded in laughter. The boss smiled and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard saved his job with the only tool that could win a laugh.

Here is another example. An English hostess was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests. She had asked her son to serve a large roast turkey. The boy only succeeded in dropping the bird onto the dining-room floor. Moving only her head, the hostess smiled at her son, “No harm, Daniel,” she said, “just pick it up and take it back to the kitchen”, she said clearly so he would think about what she was saying and bring in the other one. Some humorous words changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a ton of fun.

Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽视)means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for making up differences, saying sorry, saying no, criticizing, and getting the other person to do what you want without his losing face. Also, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people are in any other places.

Of course, humor is often more than a laughing matter. In its potent guises(有效的伪装), it has a Trojan-horse(特洛伊木马)nature: no one goes on guard against a laugh; we let it in because it looks like a little wooden toy. Once inside, however, it can turn a city to reform, to rebellion(反抗), to resistance.

1.What can the underlined words “chalk up” in Paragraph 1 be replaced by?

A.pay for B.respond to C.think of recording D.succeed in getting

2.How does the author explain the power of humor?

A.By using examples. B.By making comparisons.

C.By introducing study results. D.By setting clown general rules.

3.What does the author mean by mentioning humor’s Trojan-horse nature?

A.It is but a toy. B.It catches us unaware.

C.We usually resist its effect. D.We seldom really understand it.
