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。

A woman who had a stroke (中风) while on a Face Time video call with her sister, said the technology saved her life. Esmee Russell, head of the Stroke Association, said, “A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. That’s why it’s so important that people know how to act fast: it could save a life.” Strokes happen when the blood supply to part of thy brain is cut off by a clot (凝块), or damaged by bleeding that causes brain cells in the affected area to die.

Opokua Kwapong, who lives alone in New York, was on a call with her sister, Adumea Sapong, in Manchester, when Mrs Sapong noticed that her elder sister “didn’t look right”. And she also noticed her sister’s voice was slurred (口齿不清). Ms Kwapong said she had not realised how serious the situation was.

The 58-year-old Kwapong had woken from an afternoon sleep when Mrs Sapong called her on Face Time. Ms Kwapong said “My sister looked at me and said she could see that my face didn’t look right. She also said that I was slurring my words, but I thought she was making a fuss (大惊小怪) and I didn’t believe her.”

Mrs Sapong said When I called Kwapong, she said that shed not been feeling well and had been feeling tired and was also having some difficulty walking. I said, ‘Perhaps you need to take some medicine.’ She tried to pick up a glass of water and wasn’t able to. Then I noticed on the Face Time video call that her face was drooping. I told her she needed to hang up and immediately see a doctor. She thought I was making a fuss so I then called one of my other sisters, who is a doctor, and she could hear her speaking and could also tell that her speech was slurred. We both told her to call for help at once.”

Answer

Paragraph 1:

Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services. The ambulance rushed to her house and nurses sent her to hospital. In hospital, Ms Kwapong was diagnosed with stroke and should stay at hospital for at least one week, Her sister Adumea Sapong looked after her. Her doctor said she was lucky to receive treatment quickly or she could have had much trouble.

Paragraph 2：

Ms Kwapong said: “There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life. If my sister had not noticed that something was not right, then things could have been so different. Not only did technology save my life，it now also allows me to live my life. I rely a lot on FaceTime as Dm not able to travel as much as I did previously. You hear a lot of negative stories about the Internet and technology, but I think this is an example of how technology can help us in daily life.”

【解析】

这是一篇续写。

1.第一段给出的首句是Ms Kuapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“救护车冲向她的家，护士们把她送到了医院。”入手扩展开去，——无论从何角度拓展，需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。

2.第二段所给首句Ms Kwapong said: “There is no doubt that the internet and technology saved my life.这一句呼应前文，紧接着可以从“如果我妹妹没有注意到有些地方不对劲，那么事情就会大不一样了。”入手续写，这里运用了if引导的虚拟语气，显得句子结构非常新颖巧妙。
