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。

Missus Sommers one day found herself the unexpected owner of fifteen dollars. It seemed to her a very large amount of money. For a day or two she walked around in a dreamy state as she thought about her choices. Her daughter Janie was wearing worn shoes and needed new ones. She would buy cloth for new shirts for the boys. Her daughter Mag should have another dress. And still there would be enough left for new stockings for her children. The idea about how to spend the dollars made her restless with excitement.

On the day she planned to go shopping with the money, she ate a light meal- no! Between getting the children fed and the house cleaned, and preparing herself to go shopping, she forgot to eat at all!

When she arrived at the large department store, she spotted a pile of silk stockings at the entrance. A sign nearby announced that they had been reduced in price a young girl behind the counter asked her if she wished to examine the silky leg coverings. She smiled as if she had been asked to inspect diamond jewelry, and started to feel the soft, expensive items. Missus Sommers picked up a black pair and looked at them closely. Two red marks suddenly showed on her pale face. She looked up at the shop girl and said proudly, “Well, I will buy this pair.”

Missus Sommers changed her cotton stockings for the new silk ones in the ladies’ rest area. She had let herself be controlled by some machine-like force that directed her actions and freed her of responsibility. How good was the touch of the silk on her skin! Then she put her shoes back on and put her old stockings into her bag. Next, she went to the shoe department, where she tried on a pair of new boots. Her foot and ankle looked lovely. She could not believe that they were a part of herself.

Paragraph 1: After buying a pair of new boots, she walked into the clothing department. Coming to a dressing mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, “Won’t I look more beautiful if my shoe matches a perfect dress on my body?” thought Missus Sommers. She waving to the salesgirl of the department and asked her whether she could try on the fashionable dress styles. Her request was approved, Missus Sommers kept trying on. One dress after another tried on, she put them into her shopping cart fondly. Paragraph 2: She was about to leave the store when a kid running around reminded her of something. “Oh, My God! I forgot all about my kids!” yelled Missus Sommers, starting to blame herself. “Excuse me, salesgirl, would you be so kind as to let me put back all I had chosen, for I had intended to buy my daughter Janie a new pair of shoes, boy’s new shirts and all of them new stockings? I must have lost my head!” A sense of responsibility of caring about her kids drove her to think of the right idea where the money should go. 【解析】 本篇考察的作文类型是读后续写。 文章主要讲的是Sommers太太意外得到了15美元,非常高兴,想着给女儿和儿子们买鞋子和衬衫,结果在百货公司试穿衣服时逐渐忘了自己要给孩子们买东西,最后让售货小姐退还了购物车里所有的衣服的故事。在给的第一段开头中,“After buying a pair of new boots, she walked into the clothing department.”“the clothing department”是关键词,表示“服装部”,说明Sommers后来去了服装部,第一段应当围绕她在服装部发生的事情展开;在给的第二段开头中“She was about to leave the store when a kid running around reminded her of something.”此句中的kid为关键词,因为后文都围绕这个词在说。 【高分句型一】 After her request was approved, Missus Sommers kept trying on. 在她的请求被批准后,Sommers太太继续尝试。运用时间状语从句。 【高分句型二】 Although she really liked these clothes, a sense of responsibility of caring about her kids drove her to think of the right idea where the money should go. 虽然她真的很喜欢这些衣服,但是一种照顾孩子的责任感驱使她去想钱应该花在哪里。运用让步状语从句。

    You don’t need to be a world-class mountaineer to stand out in a job interview. Here’s my advice on how to nail the most common interview question.

Most people are so eager to show off what they’ve been involved in. Don’t worry, and there will be time for that. The interviewer has reviewed your resume and will ask you plenty about your expertise. “Tell me about yourself” is a question you’re certain to be asked at any job interview.1.However, sharing something that shows who you really are beyond a piece of paper is a good idea. It will allow the interviewer to know something about your life outside of work.

Everyone has something interesting to share about themselves. I’ve heard people talk about everything from being a world-class sushi chef to an ice carver.2. Such as you participate  in  competitive sports, you're an accomplished (技艺高超的) pianist and you’re writing your first detective novel. If the information showcases a unique aspect of yourself, and especially if you can link it to what you can bring to your next job, then go for it.

Another way to think about the question is: “What gets you up every morning?” The person also wants to know what your sense of passion and purpose is. That volunteer work on a farm cooperative in South America, for example, shows you have a global perspective. 3. It doesn’t matter how big or small the accomplishment is, as long as it shows you’re struggling to improve yourself. When people are motivated by contributing to something bigger than themselves, they get more satisfaction.

4. Relax, be yourself and tell the truth. Don't approach the interview like you’re trying out for Broadway. It’s more than obvious when someone is trying to memorize their lines and “play the part”. Also, if you overstate what you've done or fully invent a story about yourself, you'll be exposed.5.

A.Take a risk to get personal.

B.Showing honesty is one of the most important things.

C.Running your first 10 kilometers shows you like a challenge.

D.And then everything you say about yourself will be questioned.

E.It's also important to tell it in a way that makes you memorable.

F.Too many people respond to it by giving a recital of their resume.

G."Tell me about yourself" is an invitation for you to share brief information.

    In the early 1960s Wilt Chamberlain was one of only three players in the National Basketball Association (NBA)listed at over seven feet. If he had played last season, however, he would have been one of 42. The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames.

The trend in sports, though, may be obscuring an unrecognized reality: Americans have generally stopped growing. Though typically about two inches taller now than 140 years ago, today's people-especially those born to families who have lived in the U. S. for many generations-apparently reached their limit in the early 1960s. And they aren't likely to get any taller. "In the general population today, at this genetic, environmental level, we've pretty much gone as far as we can go," says anthropologist William Cameron Chum-lea of Wright State University. In the case of NBA players, their increase in height appears to result from the increasingly common practice of recruiting players from all over the world.

Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20, demands calories and nutrients-notably, protein--to feed expanding tissues. At the start of the 20th century, under-nutrition and childhood infections got in the way. But as diet and health improved, children and adolescents have, on average, increased in height by about an inch and a half every 20 years, a pattern known as the secular trend in height. Yet according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, average height--5 '9" for men, 5'4" for women--hasn't really changed since 1960.

Genetic maximums can change, but don't expect this to happen soon. Claire C. Gordon, senior anthropologist at the Army Research Center in Natick, Mass ensures that 90 percent of the uniforms and workstations fit recruits without alteration. She says that, unlike those for basketball, the length of military uniforms has not changed for some time. And if you need to predict human height in the near future to design a piece of equipment, Gordon says that by and large, "you could use today's data and feel fairly confident."

1.Wilt Chamberlain is cited as an example to_________.

A.illustrate the change of height of NBA players.

B.show the popularity of NBA players in the U.S..

C.compare different generations of NBA players.

D.assess the achievements of famous NBA players.

2.Which of the following plays a key role in body growth according to the text?

A.Genetic modification. B.Living standards.

C.Natural environment. D.Daily exercise.

3.We learn from the last paragraph that in the near future__________.

A.the garment industry will reconsider the uniform size.

B.the design of military uniforms will remain unchanged.

C.genetic testing will be employed in selecting sportsmen.

D.the existing data of human height will still be applicable.

4.The text intends to tell us that__________.

A.the change of human height follows a cyclic pattern.

B.human height is becoming even more predictable.

C.Americans have reached their genetic growth limit.

D.the genetic pattern of Americans has altered.
