Question

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。

There were two men who occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain (排除)the liquids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours every day. They spoke about their wives and families and their jobs. And every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened by all the activity and color of the outside world.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm, and a fine view of the city could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room closed his eyes and imagined the beautiful scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window described it. Unexpectedly, a strange thought entered his head: Why could he look out of the window? Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything? It didn’t seem fair.

As the thought developed, the man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy turned into hate and soon turned him sour. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window and that thought now controlled his life.

Answer

Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, another man began to cough. The man by the window was choked by the liquids in his lungs. The other man watched it, as the man by the window tried to press the button to call for help. Listening, he never pushed his own button which would have called the nurse in. In less than five minutes, the coughing stopped, along with the sound of breathing, The following morning, the nurse called the hospital attendant to take the lifeless body away.

As soon as it seemed reasonable, the man asked the nurse if he could move next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the change and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. He moved slowly and painfully to take his first look. Finally, he would have the chance to see the outside world himself. He couldn’t wait to look out of the window beside the bed. However, to his surprise, it faced a blank wall. He felt ashamed again and closed his eyes only to find his envy had changed him totally.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。

通过阅读所给文章可知，同一间病房中的两个病人， 一个人允许每天在床上坐起来一个小时来排除肺部的液体。他的床紧挨着房间唯一的窗户。另一个人不得不平躺着度过他所有的时间。每天下午，当窗边的人可以坐起来的时候，他就会向他的室友描述他在窗外看到的一切来打发时间。时间久了以后另一个人觉得很不公平，他开始嫉妒憎恨那个靠窗的病人。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：一天深夜，当他躺在床上盯着天花板时，另一个人开始咳嗽……所以接下来要描述那个看不到窗户的人的行为和故事的走向。要详细描述这件事的结果和那个充满嫉妒憎恨的人在整件事中的行为。第二段开头是：一切似乎一变得合情合理，这个男人就问护士他是否可以搬到窗边。本段应该写那个病人在提出搬到床边的要求之后发生的故事，他迫不及待地从床边的窗户往外看。而结果是出乎意料的。文章最后充满嫉妒的病人意识到自己的嫉妒彻底改变了自己。

续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
