I spent much time _________ what it would be. Many boys had baseball gloves or ice skates and I was _________ to have any of these. “It would _________ be a baseball glove,” I _________ with myself. She wouldn’t know much about baseball. So I was _________ that she would give me ice skates. I even _________ myself upon the skates.

As Christmas approached, it was with _________ that I stopped myself from reporting to Mrs. Long and demanding my present. On December 22, I _________ myself at the door of the house. Mrs. Long sat me in a chair and handed me a small box which under no circumstances could __________ a pair of skates. I was __________. When lifting it from her, I was curious about the __________ of the present. It weighed almost nothing.

“What is it?” I asked.   

“A kind of magic,” she said. Her words were enough to set my mind dancing with new __________ . There were other presents of normal dimension and weight. But Mrs. Long’s box dominated all, for it had to do with __________ .

On Christinas morning, before the sun was up, I had this box on my knees. With great __________ I opened the box to find inside ten sheets of black paper, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. “What is it?” I asked. Mum took two pieces of white paper, placed between them one of the black paper, and wrote my name on the upper sheet. Then she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!

It was a miracle to my __________ mind. In that one moment, I __________ the ideas about the duplication (复制) of words and the printing and the mystery of spreading ideas. Thank Mrs. Long for her __________ to guess that a boy might profit from a present totally outside the realm (领域) of his __________ experience.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

Anthony Ant had hundreds of friends, but sometimes he still felt alone. Anthony lived in an anthill in the crack of a sidewalk. All of his friends looked just like Anthony: small, and brown, with six legs and two wiggling antennas (触角). Every day, Anthony and his ant friends lined up to march out of the anthill and across the sidewalk to the tall grass. There they looked for crumbs and seeds to bring back to the anthill for supper.

“Why do we always have to stay in line?”Anthony asked. “I want to go into the grass on my own and see what there is to see.”

“I don’t know,” said Abby, a friend of Anthony. “This is the way we’ve always done it.”

“That doesn’t seem like a very good reason,” Anthony said. “I’m going to turn left up here at the maple root.”

And he did.

None of the other ants came with Anthony, because they always did what they were told.

On his own, Anthony had a much nicer view of the maple root. He could see all the way to a distant flower bed, where colorful blossoms towered over the grassy space.

Anthony decided to walk to the flowers, but after an hour of walking, they seemed just as far away as ever. He had never been so tired. He decided to turn around.

When he did, Anthony couldn’t see the path home. The grass had closed in around himand he was lost. Usually he just followed the ant line in front of him to find the way, but now he was all alone.

Anthony walked in the direction he thought was home, but he was starting to feel scared. A bird flew overhead. Should he ask the bird for help, or should he hide? Anthony knew that some birds ate ants, but he couldn’t remember which ones were nice and which ones were hungry.

注意:续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。

Para 1: He hesitated, wondering what to do.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: He walked on and on.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
