范文诠解 [参考范文] [名师论道]
Once there was a boy with a bad temper.His dad told him to hammer a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper.The boy learnt to control his temper because it was easier than hammering the nails into the fence.Then his dad asked him to pull one nail out every time he was able to hold his temper.When the boy pulled out all the nails, his dad showed him the holes in the fence, telling him his anger had left “scars” that would never heal, like the holes in the fence.According to the story, it is important to learn how to control your temper so that you do not do or say anything that will hurt other people.So how can we control our temper First, we can talk to someone we trust about how we feel.This is a good way of letting our anger out without hurting others.Second, we can go out doors and play team sports with our friends, because physical exercise provides an effective way to calm down.Third, we can shift our attention to other things such as reading a book or watching a film.Focusing on something else helps us to forget our anger.If we keep calm and stay optimistic, we can take control over our temper, which will benefit throughout life.

3Writing a reflection
Ⅰ.阅读理解
I was selfish as a teenager.I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs.I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination.This didn't change even when I went to college either.I studied hard but only to make my own life better.Even when I started to explore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family.Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul.Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way.I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people.In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.
Still, I didn't give up on happiness.I knew that there must be a way to find it.I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires.The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born.I got a bottle and held him in my arms.As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes.I smiled and talked to him.Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love.I felt such peace and joy.At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.
Carolyn Arends wrote: “The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets.The more love you get, the more love you have to give.It just keeps growing.” So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring.Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.

Ⅲ.读后续写
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。
Last year at Christmas time, my wife, three children and I were on our way from Paris to Nice.Somehow everything went wrong.Our hotels were “tourist traps” and our rented car broke down.On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts.
It was raining and cold when we went out to eat.We found a small restaurant poorly decorated for the holiday.Only five tables in the restaurant were taken.There were two German couples, two French families, and an American sailor, by himself.They were eating in stony silence except the sailor.He was writing a letter, and a half smile lighted his face.In the corner a piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.
All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door.She had a worn overcoat and her old shoes were wet.Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to another.No one bought any.Exhausted and frustrated, she sat down at a table.
The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave.Putting on his coat, he walked over to the flower woman's table.
“Merry Christmas，” he said, smiling and picking out a handful of flowers.“How much are they？”
“Two francs, sir.”
The sailor put a twenty franc note in the woman's hand.
“I don't have change, sir，” she said.“I'll get some from the waiter.”
“No, ma'am，” said the sailor, leaning over and kissing the ancient cheek.“This is my Christmas present for you.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Then the sailor headed for our table with the flowers in his hand.
The piano player came alive and pleasant music filled the whole room.
参考范文：
Then the sailor headed for our table with the flowers in his hand.He picked out a red flower and placed it on our table.“Merry Christmas！” he greeted us in a cheerful voice.Before we could say “Thank you”， he went to other tables.In an instant, everyone in the room was presented with flowers, including the waiter and the piano player.In the bright light, the flowers were glowing in full bloom.These magical flowers melted our frustrated hearts and blew away all the unpleasant moods.
The piano player came alive and pleasant music filled the whole room.A festival atmosphere drowned all of us.We merrily danced to the joyful music, singing, laughing and wishing each other good luck.The old flower woman also joined us, unable to conceal her excitement and gratitude.The spirit of Christmas came back to us again.It brought all of us together in this small restaurant on a foreign land.All this was due to a young American sailor, who, through his kindness and generosity, brightened our paths.
