Question

读后续写: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。

A few weeks before Thanksgiving one year, my husband and I decided to invite a guest over for the holiday. I called a senior center and they suggested Ilse. She was a stubborn 78- year-old lady, who favored sequined（亮片的）T-shirts.

On Thanksgiving, within minute of arriving, Ilse welcomed the glass of wine my husband offered with a wide smile. By the end of the evening, we felt as if we were old friends. The more time I spent with Ilse, the more she became like a surrogate （替代的）grandma. So when her only son Ralph died, I realized she was too upset to be left alone and helped her hire a caregiver. For me, she was like a family and I was the only one left in her tribe.

Each time I stopped by her apartment, Ilse seemed more disconnected than the time before. Late one afternoon, when I called her, I was unable to understand what she was saying. I drove her to the emergency room, where the doctor confirmed she had suffered a mild stroke. During the next few days, I dropped by her apartment, but she was no longer the energetic, stubborn Ilse I knew. At the end of the week, I received an early-morning phone call from her caregiver. " Please come over now," the woman said, her voice matter-of- fact. "She's passed away. ” When I arrived, I saw Ilse lying on her bed, motionless, her eyes closed. I sat on the edge of the bed, too shocked to cry.

Answer

Paragraph 1

She had left me a large sum of money. I didn’t remember her saying anything about it. If she had, I would have insisted she donate the money to charity or give it to a friend she had known longer. I couldn’t accept the money because Ilse was a friend and I’d helped her out of loyalty and respect, not with the expectation of being paid.

Paragraph 2

Various families and charities benefited from her donations. Some families received funds to send their grade-schoolers to summer camp. Through the local food program, her donation provided children with food to take home with them. My placing a phone call to the senior center and meeting Ilse had definitely made my life richer. I took a chance on humanity, and Ilse’s friendship was the jackpot.

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Ilse去世的那个早晨我读完了她的遗嘱，在里面看到了我的名字。所以这一段应该写遗嘱的内容，作者看到遗嘱内容后的想法。第二段开头是：我把钱捐给了她深爱的事业——孩子。本段应该写由于这次的捐助，很多孩子和家庭而受益。最后升华主题：让爱传递，这是人性美的传递，是对我们的最高奖赏。第一段是完整故事情节，第二段是点明主旨。
