Question

读后续写

One pleasant New-year morning, Edward rose, and washed and dressed himself very quickly.  He wanted to be first to wish everyone a happy New Year. He looked in every room, and shouted the words of welcome. He ran into the street, to repeat them to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.

He left the house with a light heart, intending to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children shivering with cold.

"I wish you a happy New Year," said Edward, as he was happily passing by. The man shook his head. "You do not belong to this country?" said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak the English language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, as if to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in a very difficult situation and required some help. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.

How their eyes sparkled with gratitude! They said something in their language, which doubtless meant, "We thank you a thousand times, and will remember you in our prayers."

When Edward came home, his father asked what book she had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.  "I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry ."

Answer

His father looked at him with a blank look. He explained that it was a German family that was badly in need of help. They even didn’t have enough clothes to wear. Edward’s explanation made his father understand what had happened and he expressed that he couldn’t agree more with him. In order to recognize the work Edward did, his father bought the books, saying, “God invariably puts someone in a very difficult situation. Never can we turn a blind eye to those in need. What you have done will make a happy New Year.”

He felt the sweetnss of helping others. A few days later, Edward met the family again, and they still thanked him a thousand times. It seemed the city was bathed in brilliant sunshine because of Edward’s feelings. Additionally, he knows that help means under any circumstances, we all can give a hand to people in a dilemma. Maybe bare word would be enough for them.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，在新年的时候，父亲给了Edward两块银币，他准备用父亲给他的钱到书店去买书。在路上他看到一家可怜的德国人，又冷又饿，于是把自己的钱给了他们，帮助那一家人。

续写部分分为两段，第1段开头是：Edward继续对父亲说，“我想要等到明年才能得到我想要的书”。接下来应该写他向父亲解释，没买到书是因为用父亲给的钱帮助了在困境中的一个德国家庭的事情。Edward的解释使父亲明白发生了什么，他赞成Edward的做法。 为了表示对Edward行为的支持，父亲给他买了书。第2段开头是：听到父亲所说的话，拿着父亲给他买的书，Edward觉得自己是世界上最幸福的孩子。 下面应该写他感受到帮助别人给自己带来的幸福。 几天后，爱德华又遇到了那家人，他们再次表示对他的感谢。文章最后写Edward的感受：在任何情况下，我们都可以帮助处于困境的人。

续写时要求使用5个给出短文中标有下划线的关键词语，增加了写作的难度。阅读文章时，要熟悉有下划线的词语，以便在写作的时候恰当地加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应是150左右。续写完成后，需要用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语，按要求完成写作任务。
