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。

School mornings were always busy. The first sentence I usually heard was, “It’s time to rise!” It was Mom’s loudest voice and there was no way I could pretend not to hear it or hide from it.

“Okay, Mum. I’m getting up and dressed!” I would manage to call back.

Mum spoke loudly again as she announced, “Breakfast is ready!”

By then, I couldn’t get to the kitchen fast enough. In fact, it was a race between my sister, my brother, and me. We usually seated ourselves at the same time, sometimes knocking each other out of our places. After breakfast, we all rushed out to the bus stop as we took our lunch bags that contained a sandwich, fruit and dessert.

Then, one day, much to my surprise, there was no dessert in my lunch! What could have happened to it? Did Mom forget to make or buy it? Oh, well, I thought. It’s only one time, so it’s no big deal. But, for the next few days, my lunch contained no dessert! So one day, after school, as soon as I got home, I asked, “Mum! Why haven’t you been putting a dessert in my school lunches?”

Mum answered, “Why, Eugene, I have been including a dessert in your lunch. If you ‘re not getting them, then who is?”

So then we thought of my activities and what I did with my lunch each day. As soon as I arrived at school, I always put my lunch in the classroom closet (储物间) along with all of the other lunches. And that brought us to Carl    the bad boy of the third-grade classroom. The teacher didn’t like him in class and would send him to the closet, where he would spend most of each day.

Carl lived in a group of foster home (集体寄养之家). He was loud and somewhat of a thief, he would take just about anything that wasn’t fastened down, so he wasn’t welcome at school. Mom and I concluded that with nothing else to do Carl was probably going through the lunches and eating what he liked.

Answer

Paragraph 1:

My mother and I talked about ways to solve this problem. Overwhelmed with irritation, I insisted that we should play a trick on Carl to teach him a good lesson. However, so tolerant and considerate was my mother that she said in a tender voice that we should protect his pride rather than criticize him relentlessly. Therefore, the following weeks, I took two desserts in my lunch bag with a note saying, “Should you be in need of aid, please let us know.”

Paragraph 2:

Another day, Carl asked me if he could come to my house and meet my mother. Aware that he had read the note, I nodded with a smile and his face lit up. Much to my surprise. Carl actually turned up in my house after school, looking nervously and timidly “Welcome to my house and make it your home.” My mother hugged him tightly, tears of gratitude welling up in his eyes. “It is your desserts that teach me how sweet the world is.” said he. Casting admiring glances at him, I came to realize that tolerance is a kind of virtue, making a great difference to the world.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。文章主要讲述了作者带到学校的午餐甜点总是消失，后来他想到可能是另外一个年级名叫Carl的孩子偷的。这个孩子住在集体寄养之家，行为习惯很差，老师和同学们都不喜欢他。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：妈妈和作者谈论解决问题的方法…，所以接下来写想到的解决方法，妈妈认为应该保留Carl的自尊心而不应该谴责他，所以妈妈决定做两份甜点，并附上字条询问其是否需要帮助。第二段开头是：有一天Carl问作者他是否可以去作者家看作者的妈妈…，所以接下来可能写作者表示同意，同时描写Carl在见到作者妈妈后他非常的温顺并且紧张，因为甜点和纸条让他感受到了这个世界的甜美。同时，作者也认识到宽容是一种美德，对这个世界起着重要作用。
