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。
A young man went to visit the oldest and wisest man in the village for some advice on how he could become rich.
“Treasure is yours to be had at the top of Yonder Mountain,” advised the wise old man as he pointed to a tall mountain in the distance. “You must travel on foot to the top of the mountain. There you will find riches beyond your belief. Once you leave the top of the mountain, whatever remains will be lost forever.”
The young man could hardly wait until the morning when he was to meet with the wise old man for final instructions. When he arrived at the wise old man's home, he saw a long, thick log lying on the ground in front of the house.
“You must carry this log on your journey to the top of the mountain, and it is a necessary part of your journey. You must take it with you to the top of the mountain to claim your treasure,”explained the wise old man.
The young man was not pleased with this sudden surprise, but he respected the wise old man and as he lifted the long, heavy log onto his shoulders and struggled down the road towards the mountain, he realized that the trip would not be as easy as he thought.
After he was walking for a while, a woodsman came up to him and said, “It looks like that log is pretty heavy. Would you like me to cut some of it off to make it lighter ”
The young man was exhausted, so he said, “I suppose that a little bit cut off the end wouldn't hurt.” And the woods man cut two inches off the end.
A while later the young man met a farmer on his way back from the fields. And the farmer helped him cut two inches off the end.
At the bottom of the mountain, the young man met up with a trapper who helped him cut four more inches off the log.(339 words)

写作步骤
1. 审题
快速浏览原材料,可判断文章为记叙文,描述一个完整的故事,同时最后一段要求总结出哲理,属于半开放性续写。
2. 梳理
对划线部分的关键词分类如下:
人物: the wise old man,the young man,woodsman,trapper
描述事件发展的关键词:treasure,journey,heavy log,the distance,struggled,inches
3. 推断
(1)文章所给材料部分描述了年轻人为了寻宝扛着木头前行,由续写第一段提示句The young man continued to struggle toclimb the mountain.可推断本段应描写年轻人爬山以及到达财富之地的过程。另外,续写第二段的提示句中使用了the来修饰gap,属于特指,可推断续写第一段中还应描述途中出现了a gap。
(2)续写第二段提示语中and discoveredthat it…表明本段应先确定锯掉木头是否有影响,然后表明年轻人的感悟。
4. 拟稿
(1)描述年轻人继续前行到达山顶时,可使用下列方式:
Tired and exhausted, he finally saw the top of the hill.
(用过去分词短语作伴随状语)
The log was still heavy, but he felt much easier. Luckily, when he wasnearly tired out, he saw the top of the hill.
(使用时间状语从句)
(2)描述发现a gap,可使用下列方式:
Being overjoyed, he ran to the treasure. But when he was very close toit, he found there was a huge gap at the end of the road, and getting acrossthe gap seemed to be the only way to get to the treasure.
(使用V-ing短语做状语,V-ing短语作主语,时间状语从句,宾语从句)
Seeing the treasure, he moved faster and faster. But to his surprise,there was a huge gap on the way, and there seemed to be no other rout. He hadto get across the gap.
(使用V-ing短语作状语,“比较级+比较级 ”结构,动词不定式短语作表语)
(3)年轻人的感悟属于开放性续写,可续写为木头的长度短了4英寸,引出“可再一再二,不可再三再四降低要求”的感悟;也可续写为木头的长度刚好短了8英寸,引出“对自己要求的任何一点降低都可能成为自己实现梦想的最大障碍”等。需要注意的是,这部分应尽量写成锯断木头后会带来不良后果, 传递正能量,才符合原文的主题。
5. 定稿
按照既定的逻辑顺序,使用恰当的过渡句或关联词,将各个信息串联在一起,写出完整的段落。标出段落中所使用的划线词。
