Question

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

After my son, Scott, graduated from high school he took a job near his father. Two thousand miles suddenly separated me from the person who’d been the focus of my life for 18 years. As the days went by, I missed Scott more and more. I’d always been able to take care of myself, but now I seemed to need Scott’s help constantly, like getting a tool from the top shelf, or moving something heavy, or changing a tire on the car. Most of all, I just missed having him to talk to. I was lonely. I knew this day would come. But why does it have to be so hard?

However, a mother spider taught me a lesson.

On my way out from my storeroom, I noticed a spider building her web across the top corner of the doorway. I reached for a hoe（锄头）m, tore down the web, and watched the giant spider run away in the grass. She was back the very next morning, in the exact same spot, busily rebuilding. I stared for a moment, and then reached for the hoe again. Then I twisted the hoe round and round, catching the spider in her own web. I carried her far into my backyard, shook the hoe and watched her fall to the ground, disappearing in the bush. The third morning, I stopped short as I entered the storeroom. The spider was back in the same corner of the door frame, her web almost completed again. I reached for the hoe, but stopped. She wants her web where she wants it, I thought, and that kind of perseverance（毅力）should pay off. I stepped back and watched her long legs busily knitting the web.

For the next few weeks, the spider and I were close neighbors. One particularly boring day, I was feeling so down that I didn’t even glance up at my spider as I entered. As I stared in wonder, I found a hundred tiny angels on the floor. I realized that these were baby spiders that the eggs had hatched, and already, as the mother watched from the corner of the home that she had built, her young were making their way to the ground.

Answer

Paragraph l:

It only took moments before all the babies were gone. My spider sat alone again in the web she’d built. And for what? Just to make sure those babies were safe till their feet touched the ground. But crazy as it may sound, when I looked at that spider, I’d swear she seemed proud. The very next morning, when I went into the storeroom, she was gone. I knew that the spider had gone on to build different webs, just as strong, elsewhere. She had fulfilled this role, part of which was to let go with grace and self-respect.

Paragraph 2:

Part of my job as a parent, maybe the hardest part, was to let my son walk away. But I knew that I had built him a strong web to grow in, and that if I had the strength and the courage to watch him fall, his feet would land safely on the ground.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是故事类读后续写。

本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者18岁的儿子中学毕业后离开母亲外出工作。作者愈发想念儿子。她不知道如何去面对这种分离之苦。后来作者看到蜘蛛妈妈不遗余力，不畏艰难为小蜘蛛织网让他们平安落地。她认识到做父母最伟大之处在于培养出强大的可以独立生存的子女，最后忍痛和他们分离。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：等到所有的蜘蛛宝宝离开会需要一点时间……，所以后面应该写在蜘蛛宝宝落地的时候蜘蛛妈妈在做什么以及作者看到这一幕的时候又作何感想，第二天清晨蜘蛛妈妈还会出现在作者的视线中吗？第二段开头是：作为父母最伟大之处在于让自己的儿子离开父母，保持独立。本段应该写作者对这种观点的感悟。呼应开头，作者是如何理解儿子和自己的分离的。
最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右按要求完成写作任务。
