I had never been more anxious in my life. I had just spent the last three endless hours trying to get to the airport so that I could travel home. Now, as I watched the bus driver set my luggage on the airport sidewalk, I realized that my anxiety had only just begun.

This was my first visit alone to the international terminal of the airport, and nothing was familiar. I couldn’t make sense of any of the signs. Where was the check-in counter? Where should I take my luggage? I had no idea where to go, feeling as if I were deaf and blind and stupid. I began to panic. What time was it? Where was my plane? I had to find help because I couldn’t be late.

I tried to ask a passing businessman for help, but my words all came out wrong. He just frowned and walked away. What had happened? I had been in this country for a whole semester, and I couldn’t even remember how to ask for directions. This was awful! Another bus arrived at the terminal, and the passengers came out carrying all sorts of luggage. Here was my chance! I could follow them to the right place, and I would not have to say a word.

I dragged my enormous suitcase behind me and followed the group. We finally reached the elevators. Oh, no! They all fit in it, but there was not enough room for me. I watched in despair as the elevator doors closed. I was abandoned again! I had no idea what to do next. I got on the elevator when it returned and stared at all the buttons. Which one could it be? I pressed button 3, because I thought I saw those passengers pressed 3, though it was no more than a quick glance. The elevator slowly climbed up to the third floor and came to a stop. There were no check-in counters! I looked around shyly, only to find an elderly man standing at the corner. He was an airport employee.

Answer

Paragraph 1：

Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realized that I would miss my plane. Just then the elderly airport employee walked towards me from the corner. He saw that I was lost and asked if he could help in any way. He gave me his handkerchief to dry my tears. He smiled kindly. He patted my shoulder to ease my anxiety before leading me down a long hallway. We walked up some stairs, turned a corner, and at last, there was the check-in counter！He led me past all the lines of people and pushed my luggage to the inspection counter.

Paragraph 2

When I turned to thank him for all his help, he was gone. I never got an opportunity to know that kind man’s name, but I would always remember his unexpected kindness. He helped me when I needed it most Without his timely help, I would have certainly missed my plane. I can only hope that one day I will be able to do the same for another traveler who is suffering a terrible journey.

【解析】

这是一篇续写。短文叙述了作者要赶飞机，一生中从未如此焦虑过，这是作者第一次独自来到机场的国际航站楼，一切都不熟悉，为了能够找到办理登机手续的柜台，作者跟谁着一群人上了三楼，电梯慢慢地爬上三楼，停了下来。没有登记柜台!作者害羞地环顾四周，却发现一个老人站在角落里。他是一名机场工作人员。

1.第一段给出的首句是Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realized that I would miss my plane.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“就在这时，机场的一位老员工从拐角处向我走来。”入手扩展开去。接下来：他看到我迷路了，就问我是否需要他帮忙并拍我的肩膀来缓解我的焦虑，然后带我走过一条长长的走廊。我们上了几级楼梯，拐了个弯，终于到了办理登机手续的柜台。他领着我穿过了所有排队的人群，把我的行李推到了验票柜台。该段最后一句与第二段首句“当我转身感谢他的帮助时，他已经走了。”相吻合。——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When I turned to thank him for all his help, he was gone.这一句呼应前文，紧接着可以从“我从来没有机会知道那个好心的人的名字，但我会永远记住他出乎意料的好意。”入手续写。作者想感谢这位老员工时他却已经走了，作者觉得在最需要的时候帮助了作者。如果没有他及时的帮助，作者肯定会错过我的飞机。作者只希望有一天，能够为另一个正在经历可怕旅程的旅行者做同样的事情。
