Question

阅读下面的短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had to football. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.

This teenager lived alone with his father and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn't want to.

But the young man loved football and decided to continue. He was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he'd get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on”(跑龙套).Everyone was sure he could never make the cut(比赛资格), but he did.

The news that he had survived the cut made him so excited that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.

It was the end of his senior football season, and as he ran onto the practice field shortly before the final game, the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?”The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son, and don't even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”

Answer

Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter ,when the team was ten points behind, the coach and his players were astonished to see their faithful teammate come back. The teenager persisted to play, and the coach had to gave in. Before long, everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. He ran, passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. In the closing seconds of the game, he blocked a pass and ran all the way for the winning points. His teammates hugged and raised him onto their shoulders, cheering wildly.

Finally, after the team left, the coach noticed the young man sitting quietly in the corner alone .The coach came to him and said, “You were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?”He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?”He sobbed, hiding his face in his hands, “Today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it.”

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。

通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要记叙了在 比赛进展不顺利的时候，有一位充满信心的队友凭借自己的高超球技在结束前几秒钟赶超了对手，在比赛后教练发现这位球员独自坐在角落，跟他聊天得知这位球员的精彩表现是因为盲人爸爸去世后能够在天堂看到孩子的比赛。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：周六到来了，比赛进展的不顺利。后文应当描写一位球员如何通过精彩球技让他们队在比赛中转败为胜。第二段开头是：最后，队友们离开后，教练注意到那个年轻人安静地独自坐在角落。后文应当描写在教练和那个年轻人的聊天下，得知男孩有优秀表现的原因的过程。
