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。

“Tom! Here!” said a father to his boy. The boy was at play. He looked toward his father, but did not want to leave his friends. With an unhappy face, the boy got close to his parent.

“Why do you walk so slowly?” said the father, angrily. “Come quickly! Take this note to Mr. Smith. Now run as fast as you can.”

The boy took the note but he moved away slowly.

“You, Tom! Run!” called the father. “If you are not back in half an hour, I will punish you.”

But the words had little effect. The boy’s feelings were hurt by the unkindness of the parent.

“I never saw such a boy,” said the father, speaking to a friend. “My words make no difference to him.”

“Kind words often prove most powerful,” said the friend. “Kind words are like the gentle rain. They develop and strengthen good feelings. Try a few kind words.”

An hour passed, but his boy wasn’t back. The father felt very angry with the child.

Answer

But the words of his friend were still in his ears. At last the boy came back slowly and reported the result of his task. Having stayed far beyond his time, he had expected a storm of punishment and was prepared to receive it with great anger. To his surprise, his father said kindly, “Very good, my son; now you can go out to play again.” Instead of joining his friends, he went and sat down by himself, feeling ashamed of his impolite act. That was the big power of kind words.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。

通过阅读所给文章可知，Tom的父亲让Tom将纸条交给Smith先生，并且生气Tom慢吞吞的动作。父亲的朋友告诉父亲试着说几句好话。一个小时过去了，Tom还是没有回来，父亲对孩子感到非常生气。

续写部分分为两段，续写的开头是：但是他朋友的话还在他耳边回响。所以后文应该是讲述孩子回来后，父亲的反应，他以为父亲会大发雷霆，谁知道父亲并没有生气，而是让Tom出去玩儿。Tom没有和朋友们一起去，而是一个人坐了下来，为自己的不礼貌行为感到羞愧。这就是善意话语的巨大力量。
