I took my camera-the first time I'd taken my camera out since we came to the country-and went, dressed in my down jacket and wearing heavy boots.I walked toward the seemingly abandoned house that I could see across the fields from the upstairs window.
A truck was parked at the end of the road,beside a tiny.weather-beaten house.There was smoke coming out of the chimney,and curtains in the two little windows on either side of the door.A dog was in the yard,who barked when he saw me coming.And beside the truck-no,actually in the truck,or at least with his head inside it,was a man.
“Hi,"I called.It would have been silly to turn around and start walking home without saying anything,even though I've promised my parents all my life that I would never talk to strange men.
He lifted out his head,a gray head,smiled-a nice smile-and said,"Miss Chalmers.I'm glad you've come to visit."
“Meg,"I said.I was puzzled.How did he know who I was
"For Margaret "he asked,coming over and shaking my hand."Forgive me.My hands are very dirty.My battery dies in this cold weather."
"How did you know my name was Chalmers "
He wiped his hands on a towel that was hanging from the door handle of the truck."My dear,I apologize.I have not even introduced myself.My name is Will Banks.And it's much too cold to stand out here.Your feet must be frozen,even in those e inside,and I'll make us each a cup of tea. And I'll tell you how I know your name.”
I stood unmoved.He saw me hesitate,and smiled."Meg,"he said,“I'm seventy years pletely harmless,even to a beautiful young girl like e on in and keep me company for a bit,and get warm."
I laughed,because he knew what I was thinking,and very few people ever know what I'm thinking. Then I went in his house.
Paragraph 1:
He took my jacket and hung it up with his,and poured tea into two thick pottery mugs.
Paragraph 2:
It's nice to have a new friend,like Will..

Paragraph1:
He took my jacket and hung it up with his,and poured tea into two thick pottery mugs.
After we sat at the table,Will told me the whole story.The house my family was living in was actually built by his grandfather.He was born,raised and married in that house.Alter his Margaret died,he moved to this small house.When he heard my parents were looking for a place,he offered the house to them.He thought it was a perfect place for a writer like my father-the peace there stimulated imagination.He said again that he was glad I'd come to visit.
Paragraph 2:
It's nice to have a new friend,like Will..I suggested taking pictures of him."My dear,"he said, straightening his shoulders and buttoning the top button of his shirt."I would be honored."The soft light was coming in through the kitchen window onto his face.He sat right there,smiling and talking.I just shot quickly.Years later,those pictures still brought back the warm memories of that day.
【详解】
续写部分分为两段,
第一段开头是:他拿着我的夹克衫和他的挂在一起,向两个厚陶杯里倒茶……,所以应该写进屋后的情况,即Will Banks向作者讲述是如何得知作者的名字的;
第二段开头是:有一个像Will这样的朋友还不错……,本段应该作者听了Will讲述的故事后,把Will当成在这个陌生国家的朋友,提议给他拍些照片,多年后,这些照片仍能让作者想起那些温暖的回忆。

In 1989, fresh out of high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited options: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn't interested In engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn't decide.
My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I do a work placement to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a brilliant idea.
I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn't have been more different. The hospital had an intense environment. The days started early( at 7 am, compared to 9 am at the bank), and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and unpredictability, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business option was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through (穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.
Paragraph 2:
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces.

Paragraph1:
Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.He hit the road face down and roller over. He lay motionless in the middle of the road as the bus drove away quickly. The cars directly behind the bus braked to avoid the boy,but none stopped. I knew that if the boy was bleeding into his brain, he could die soon. I stopped my car. I lifted his unconscious body into my car with the help of some passers by, and then raced back to the hospital. Since I wasn't allowed into the operation room, I drove home.
Paragraph2:
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces.The mother held my hands and started weeping. "Son, you are an angel," she repeated over and over again. After comforting her, I went over to the boy. He managed to smile and squeezed my hand. No words were spoken between us —none were needed. I spent the rest of the day in a state of excitement, the most fabulous mood I had ever experienced. I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
