Old Man Donovan was a mean man who hated children. He threw rocks at them and even shot at them with a shotgun. At least that's what we had heard.
His small farm bordered our neighborhood where my younger sister, Leigh Ann, and I lived when we were growing up. His farm was long, narrow, and quaint. It held two treasures. One was his beautiful fruit.
There were many varieties of fruit: pears, apples, and lots more I just can't think of. The fruit naturally drew the children to his land. It made them into thieves. But my sister and I didn't dare to take his fruit because of the horrible rumors we had heard about Old Man Donovan.
One summer day, we were playing in a nearby field. It was time to head back home. My sister and I were feeling very daring that day. There was a short cut to our house that went through the Donovan farm. We thought he wouldn't be able to see us run across his property around the luscious fruit trees. We were almost through the farm when we heard, "Hey, girl!" in a gruff, low voice. We stopped dead in our tracks! There we were, face to face with Old Man Donovan. Our knees were shaking. We had visions of rocks pounding our bodies and bullets piercing our hearts.
"Come here," he said, reaching up to one of his apple trees. Still shaking, we went over to him. He held out several ripe, juicy, red apples. "Take these home," he commanded. We took the apples with surprised hearts and ran all the way home. Of course, Leigh Ann and I ate the apples.
As time went on, we often went through Old Man Donovan's farm, and he kept on giving us more luscious fruit. One day, we stopped by to see him when he was on his front porch. We talked to him for hours. While he was talking, we realized that we had found the other hidden treasure: the sweet, kind heart hidden behind his gruff voice. Soon, he was one of our favorite people to talk to. Unfortunately, his family never seemed to enjoy our company. They never smiled or welcomed us in.

Paragraph 1: Every summer, we would visit Mr. Donovan and talk to him.
Paragraph 2: The next winter, word got around that Old Man Donovan had died.
写作思路
1. 确定主题:大主题是人与人的关系。故事告诉我们不要相信谣传,不要以貌取人。故事中Old Man Donovan是一个外表可怕,其实是一个心地善良的老人。短文结构清晰,以农场中有two treasures为线索,原文描写了第一个treasure--his beautiful fruit, 第二个看不见的treasure,就是老人善良的内心,这是续写的重点描写内容。
2. 时空变化: 要特别注意第二句句首提示语的时间The next winter,...这就意味着第一段必须提到某一个夏天,而不是every summer。所以,第一段应该有两个时间,第一个是每年夏天做了什么,第二个时间应该是某一个夏天发生的事。在这一点上估计会出现离题。
3. 续写难点:第一是主题难以把握,估计都会提到a kind heart, 但是最好在结尾处有不能以貌取人的感悟。第二是时间空间的转换,尤其是对the next winter的理解,容易跑题。第三原文中提到老人的家人对他们不友好,在续写部分应该有相关的交代(his family never seemed to enjoy our company. They never smiled or welcomed us in)。第四原文情节相对曲折,多叙述少细节描写。

6. But we could see the joy in his eyes, whenever my sister and I kept him company.
7. So we went to see him now and then, hoping that he would recover soon.
Paragraph 2: The next winter, word got around that Old Man Donovan had died. .

When tragedy struck his little girl during the Depression(大萧条), this father did the only thing he could.
The tragedy happened in the year 1933. I was only 6 years old when I was rushed to the hospital with two crushed feet. My parents were told I might never walk again.
The accident happened when I was sitting in front of our house in Lowell, Massachusetts. I was playing in a puddle(水坑) after a rainstorm and suddenly felt a huge weight on my feet. When I looked up, there was a car tire on them. I cried out, but the motor was running and no one could hear me over the engine.
The driver had run across the street for a newspaper. When he got back to his car, he drove away—never knowing he had parked on my feet.
Just about then, our neighbor’s son came home and saw me bent over my feet in pain. He immediately carried me home, and I remember thinking how tall and strong he was.
An ambulance came, and I remained in the hospital for 3 weeks while my feet were “repaired”. When I returned home, I could hardly walk.
I sat in our bay window and watched the children play on the street and longed to join them…but I couldn’t. I felt so left out despite my parents’ company.
My parents were told that if I was ever to walk again, I’d need treatment, which in those days meant riding a tricycle(三轮车)to strengthen the muscle and eventually get my feet back into condition for walking.
Our family couldn’t afford such an extravagance(奢侈品). Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove.
Dad couldn’t afford the bus fare and on cold winter days he walked 7 miles every day in his only winter coat to get to work. No, there was no money for a tricycle. I would be a cripple(瘸子)all my life.

Then one day while sitting at my usual place in the window, I saw my father walking up the street carrying a tricycle on his shoulder. Was that true I couldn't believe my eyes. I opened the window and cried out, “Is that tricycle for me ” Having put down the tricycle,Dad told me that it belonged to me. “Ride the tricycle every day,and then you will be all right,my girl!”From then on,with my father's company,I rode it every day to strengthen my muscle. Regardless of pain,I kept on practicing riding.Eventually I got my feet back into condition,and could walk normally!
Paragraph 2:
It was many years later before I learned where and how Dad had got the tricycle. My mother told me what happened on those cold winter days.In his only winter coat,he was wandering around the hospital. He begged the doctor to save my feet. Moved by my father,the doctor asked the hospital to give my father a part-time job to do. With the doctor's help,my father got the job. Working day and night,eventually,he earned enough money to buy the tricycle.高考英语读后续写专题(七)
一:典题技法指导
When Grandpa was a young man, there’d been herds of livestock spread across the mountain. By the time I was born there was a whole herd of wild horses on the mountain.
But wild horses don’t yield easily. My brother Shawn and I would spend days, even weeks, earning the horse’s trust. Then we would stroke(轻抚) its long face and gradually, over more weeks, work our hands around its wide neck and down its muscular body. After a month of this we’d bring out the saddle(马鞍), and the horse would toss its head suddenly and with such violence that the halter(缰绳) would snap or the rope break.
I was thrown from dozens of these horses as they bucked(弓背四蹄跳跃), reared, rolled or leapt. I hit the dirt in a hundred sprawling postures, each time righting myself in an instant and skittering to the safety of a tree, tractor or fence, in case the horse was feeling vengeful.
We never triumphed; our strength of will faltered long before theirs. Their natures hadn’t changed. They were pitiless, powerful avatars from another world. To mount them was to surrender your footing, to move into their domain.
The first domesticated horse I ever saw was a fully grown male horse, and it was standing next to the corral, nibbling sugar cubes from Shawn’s hand. It was mine, a gift from a great-uncle on my mother’s side.
It was a hazy summer evening, a month before I turned fifteen. The sun had dipped below the mountain peak but the sky still held a few hours of light. That evening, Shawn saddled a new horse, a copper-coated mare, for the first time. She was ready for a short ride, Shawn said, so we mounted, him on the mare, me on Bud. We made it about half a mile up the mountain, winding our way through the wheat fields. Then I did something foolish. I got too close to the mare, and with no warning she leapt forward, thrusting her weight onto her front legs, and with her hind legs kicked Bud full in the chest.
Bud went wild.
Shawn caught up.

参考范文
Bud went wild.He gave a tremendous jolt, and then began to buck, throwing his body in tight circles. The reins flew over his head. I gripped the saddle horn and squeezed my thighs together, curving my legs around his bulging belly. Before I could get my bearings, Bud took off at a dead run. Sometimes, he reared, thrusting his head so high I thought he might tumble backward. I tightened my grip on the horn, making a decision, based on a kind of instinct, not to surrender my hold.
Shawn caught up. He lifted his body from the saddle and tilted himself toward the ground, holding his reins tightly in one hand while, with the other, he snatched Bud’s reins from the weeds. The leather straps pulled taut; the bit forced Bud’s head up and forward. With his head raised, Bud could no longer buck and he entered a smooth, rhythmic gallop. Finally, I slid from the saddle safelyand lay in the wheat, the itchy stalks poking through my shirt. Above my head the horses panted, their bellies swelling and collapsing, their hooves pawing at the dirt.

尝试用上面学到的语言表达续写2018浙江卷·读后续写的第一段
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked U ncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

This story happened to me many years ago but I can still remember it well. When I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. On my way, I found that my car was running out of gas. So I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to a couple(夫妻) who were also paying for gas and they responded with their warm smiles.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. My car just broke down. What a trouble! I stopped and was wondering what I should do next when a car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted happily on the way to the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
Arriving home, I wrote to him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. In their note they said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in an early morning. The road condition was quite poor on the way and it was said that cars broke down frequently there. Anyway, I got there safe and sound. After the meeting, I returned to my car and found that I'd got a flat tire(瘪胎). I was at a loss when I noticed that the Friendly Ford Dealership- a shop selling Ford cars-- was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the shop.

Paragraph 1: I entered the shop, and one of the salesmen came to me. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Paragraph 2: After a while, they quickly drove a pick-up truck to my car and started it.
二、写作思路
1. 确定主题:大主题是人与社会--良好的社会关系与社会交往。主旨是乐于助人,人生才有意义。原文中第三段最后一句--helping me had made their holidays meaningful--体现全文的主题。所以结尾处须有点题。I will never forget the lesson Arthur taught me: Life is meaningful when you can give a hand to those in trouble.
2. 时空变化:第一段情节发生的时间是会议结束以后after the meeting. 地点是in a shop selling Ford cars,第二段情节发生在作者的小车边,时间是第一段以后不久after a while。
3. 续写难点:第一段情节比较简单,第二段开头提示语理解有难度--After a while, they quickly drove a pick-up truck to my car and started it. 应该思考的一个问题是they指代the couple还是the two salesmen;另一个问题是轮胎漏气为什么要启动汽车started it。下水时,最后安排启动汽车听发动机的声音,先检查汽车发动机是否有问题,确保汽车不会在路上break down。检查发动机以后,再补轮胎这样的情节安排应该是合理。另外,原文的the husband在续写时应该给出姓名,原因是 the husband gave me his business card. Arriving home, I wrote to him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. 所以续写时the husband以多年未见的好友(Arthur)身份出现。
三、写作提纲
Paragraph 1: I entered the shop, and one of the salesmen came to me. I couldn't believe my eyes.
1. Surely, it was my long-lost friend, Arthur, always wearing a warm smile.
2. What a coincidence that Arthur would appear in front of me when I had trouble! I thought.
3. For a second, I stared at him in disbelief, my mouth hanging open.
4. In the meanwhile Tom instantly recognized me and he gave me a huge hug.
5. “What brings you here ” he asked with a puzzled expression on his face.
6. So I told him that my car got a flat tire and that considering the poor road condition, it might broke down on my way back home.
7. Knowing what had happened to me, he said that he would be glad to give me a hand again.
Paragraph 2: After a while, they quickly drove a pick-up truck to my car and started it.
1. After listening to the sound of the engine, Arthur told me that there was nothing wrong with it.
2. And then they started to fix the tire and we chatted happily.
3. Arthur told me that the thank-you note from me inspired him to live a meaningful life by helping others.
4. Soon afterwards, he got the tire fixed.
5. He got up, wiped the sweat from his face and wished me a pleasant journey.
6. I couldn’t thank him enough.
7. Many years have passed, but I will never forget the lesson Arthur taught me: Life is meaningful when you can give a hand to those in trouble.

读后续写 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。
Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!
After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.
Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze-dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.
Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log (原木) from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped (包裹) aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was abruptly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed (倒塌) with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.

Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Steve was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just sitting in the cold air and wondering how to get out of the forest.
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Steve and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a friend and equal, rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day.高考英语读后续写专题(二)

At Dana's yard sale, Tim chose a baseball from the toys spread on the card table and asked about the price. Dana told him everything was a quarter except Nezumi, a cotton toy rat. It was gray with some cotton sticking out from the hole where an ear had been torn off. "Nezumi is extra special, so he's ten dollars. He needs a safe new home." Dana sighed.
Tim laughed saying he didn't have ten dollars. Dana laughed, too and gave Nezumi to Tim as a free gift because he was her friend. When Tim whispered it was sort of old, Dana said old toys were the best. She then invited Tim to her birthday party the next evening, adding that her parents were giving her a real rat for her birthday. Tim was amazed and asked if it was a live rat. "Of course," Dana said.
At home, Tim's mother showed him the gift she had bought for Dana. It was a knitting spool (编织线轴) shaped like a mushroom. Mom said Dana could knit a scarf for her doll. Tim sighed that Dana wasn't a knitting kind of person but a rat kind of person. Mom laughed after knowing what had happened. Together they drove to the pet store, where Tim searched and searched and selected a clear plastic ball, one in which the rat could run around on the floor safe from cats and dogs. Tim thought of Nezumi's ear and decided Dana's new rat would need this ball.
The next day, Dana brought cupcakes to class. When she handed a cupcake to Tim, she asked if Tim brought Nezumi to school as Nezumi liked to ride in backpacks. Tim was at a loss because Nezumi was at home on his bed. Then Dana asked what gift he was giving her. Tim replied it was a surprise. In silence they sat for a while before he heard Dana say her parents were giving her a new bike for her birthday instead of a live rat because they thought rats would bite things.

写作思路
1. 确定主题:大主题是友谊。故事讲的是Dana将最好的玩具送给朋友Tim,并邀请Tim参加生日派对。Tim为Dana的生日精心准备礼物。但是节外生枝,所买的礼物有点多余了...,故事的最后应该是主要人物Tim为朋友买到称心的礼物,是一个意外的惊喜。
2. 时空变化:注意三个时间, the next evening, the next day, that afternoon,注意两个地点,at home,还有第二段的最后部分应该到了Dana家。涉及时空变化的续写最容易跑题,应特别小心。
3. 续写难点:情节简单,无话可说。遇到此类续写最好的解决方法是多进行心理描写,情感描写以及体现某一心理与情感的细节动作描写,或者是烘托情感的环境描写,要身临其境,有代入感。

Paragraph 2: All of a sudden, he had an idea.
1. "Aha!" Tim yelled with delight and jumped in the air.
2. "Why not ask Mom to mend the hole in the doll and then put it into the plastic rat ball " Tim said to himself with a nod. "It must be a perfect birthday gift for Dana."
3. With that, he darted out and couldn't wait to tell his mother about his idea.
4. Like magic, the old torn doll turned into a lively rat in his mother’s hands, though it was not a real rat.

It had been a year since Susan, an attractive young woman of 34, became blind and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. And all she had to cling to was her husband, Mark.
Mark, an Air Force officer, loved Susan with all his heart and he was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidence she needed to become independent again.
Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city.
At first, this comforted Susan. Soon, however, Mark decided that Susan had to start taking the bus again on her own. But she was still so fragile, so angry - how would she react
Just as he predicted, Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again. "How am I supposed to know where I am going I feel like you're abandoning me." she responded bitterly.
Mark's heart broke to hear these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it.
For two solid weeks, Mark, in military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her everything to adapt to her new environment, including befriending the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.
Finally, Susan decided to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived, she said good-bye to Mark, and for the first time, they went their separate ways.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better. She was doing it!
On Friday morning, as she was paying the fare to get off the bus as usual, the driver said, "Young lady, I sure do envy you."
Surprised and curious, she asked the driver, "Why do you say that you envy me "

Paragraph1: The driver responded, "It must feel good to be taken care of and protected like you are every day." Confused by what the driver talked about, she asked, "What do you mean " The driver answered, "Every morning in the past week, a fine looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the street watching you getting off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a lite salute and walks away. You are one lucky lady.'
Paragraph2 Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks. With tears of happiness in her eyes, she stood motionlessly facing the opposite side of the street, as if gazing at someone. Although she couldn't physically see him, she definitely felt Mark's presence. Susan thought she was actually lucky, for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight, a gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness. Just as Mark grew a little worried, he saw his wife break into a radiant smile and blow a kiss to his direction. Finally she found back herself blind but attractive and confident as she used to be.高考英语读后续写专题(一)
一:典题技法指导
In a certain store where they sell puddings, a number of these delicious things are laid out in a row during the Christmas season. Here you may select the one which is most to your taste, and you are even allowed to sample them before coming to a decision.
I have often wondered whether some people, who had no intention of making a purchase, would take advantage of this privilege. One day I asked this question to the shop girl, and I learned it was indeed the case.
“Now there’s one old gentleman, for instance,” she told me, “he comes here almost every week and samples each one of the puddings, though he never buys anything, and I suspect he never will. I remember him from last year before that, too. Well, let him come if he wants it, and welcome to it.”
She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman limped (跛行) up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest.
“Why, that's the very gentleman I’ve been telling you about,” whispered the shop girl. “Just watch him now.” And then turning to him: “Would you like to sample them, sir Here's spoon for you to use.”
The elderly gentleman, who was poorly but neatly dressed, accepted the spoon and began eagerly to sample one after another of the puddings, only braking off occasionally to wipe his red eyes with a large torn handkerchief.
“This is quite good.”
“This is not bad either, but a little too heavy.”
All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these puddings, and I am positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store. Poor old chap! Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite pudding.

In a burst of benevolence(善举), I went up to him and said:“Pardon me, sir, would you mind me purchasing you one of these puddings ”
Paragraph 2:
The girl started to make a parcel of it, while he pulled out a worn little black pocketbook.
一、文章的人物分析
I, the gentleman, the shop girl
搞清楚每个人的性格特点:
I: kind
The gentleman: lovely, kind
The shop girl: kind
二、立意
立意的分析是要结合两段的开头,第二段续写开头说老人自己掏出钱包,说明他拒绝了我的好意,同时结合每次他都是免费品尝布丁,可以推测老人意识到别人可能看不起他的这种行为了,这就是文章的主题:自尊的伤害。
三、如何行文
任何记叙文的续写千万不要把情节搞得太复杂,3-5句把续写主要情节构思说清楚。这是因为:高考的读后续写的一个重要评分指标就是看细节描写。细节描写包括:动态的和静态的。前者主要是动作描写;后者主要是环境和心理描写。表面上是3-5句构思,实际上每一句都伴随细节描写的铺垫2-3句,这样下来整个文章就是15句左右了。
切记:高考应试作文是要看你是不是具备细节描写的功底,有一些同学标新立异,全部是大段对话。很多时候,大段对话只是为了掩盖自己的语言的贫瘠。
四、提纲
读后续写必须写提纲,否则卷面最后涂改得非常可观。
Para 1: (细节:老人的尴尬和生气; 我的后悔和羞愧) He declined and picked out the best puddings.
Para 2:
He gave the money to the shopping girl.
He left the store.
只有三句话,无非就是:老人拒绝,老人自己付钱,老人离开再也没有来了。读后续写的立意充分体现在第二段中。考生应该充分发挥想象力,脑补画面感。老人如何把钱拿出来?他很穷。此时孔乙己的形象跃然纸上,最好是一文文钱排出来,凸显老人的绅士风度,同时给人无限的同情心。
一个人在最穷困潦倒时还要坚持品尝布丁,享受那么一丁点的快乐,却被我给剥夺了。
Para. 1:
In a burst of benevolence(好心), I went up to him and said:"Pardon me, sir, would you mind me purchasing you one of these puddings " With that, (对方的反应:尴尬和生气) I saw the blood rushed to his face as if he had been stung. (我的旁白解释) Obviously, my words pierced his heart. (动作描写)He shivered, rubbing his hands together fiercely. (开始说话了) Noticing that the whole world was watching him, he stumbled, “Excuse me, sir, you must have mistaken me for someone else.” (我的反应:后悔) Just then, a ripple of regret welled up inside me. (主要对话)“Please show me these puddings,” he turned to the shop girl and said with determination, pointing to the best puddings.
Para. 2:
The girl started to make a parcel of it, while he pulled out a worn little black pocketbook. (接下来的动作描写要伴随心理活动:怎么拿出钱;怎么放钱)The gentleman began to fumble about in the pocketbook for coins, an expression of seriousness on his face. He placed the coins on the counter so gracefully and carefully one by one. His chin rose in a proud gesture after doing it. (我的心理活动) I was so overwhelmed by my guilt and shame. How I wished I could unsay the foolish words! (目送)Then all of us watched him stagger to the door and leave silently. Never have I seen him go there to sample the puddings any more.
五:成文
In a burst of benevolence, I went up to him and said:"Pardon me, sir, would you mind me purchasing you one of these puddings " He jumped back as if he had been stung, and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face. "Excuse me," he said, with more dignity than I would have thought possible, "Undoubtedly you have mistaken me for someone else." And with a quick decision he turned to the shop girl and said in a loud voice, "Kindly pack me up this one here." He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive of the puddings.
The girl started to make a parcel of it, while he pulled out a worn little black pocketbook. He began counting out shillings and pennies on to the counter. How I longed for the power to unsay my tactless words! It was too late though, and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walk away. "You pay at the desk," the shop girl was telling him, but he did not seem to understand and kept trying to put the coins into her hand. And that was the last I heard of or saw of the old man. Now he can never go there to sample pudding any more.

It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,” Miss Walker called as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the comer, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want 10 nm after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water…” Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”

Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Jenny didn’t answer. How could she explain about the watch and its magic No one could understand. No one could believe. “But I saw you wearing it yesterday,” Miss Walker gently reminded him. For a moment Lee remained silent and then he apologized he had just remembered that. Jenny was relieved saying she had found it on the way home and decided to return it after the speech. Everybody was puzzled and asked why. Jenny again was speechless.
Paragraph 2:
Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first. Jenny walked slowly to the front. She couldn’t think properly. All round her, a sea of faces was watching. She felt so frightened and the watch didn’t seem magical at all. Suddenly she saw Miss Walker’s encouraging eyes. Jenny took a deep breath. “I’m going to talk about swimming…” Ten minutes later the whole class stood up applauding Jenny’s wonderful speech. Jenny smiled as she eventually realized the real source of confidence.高考英语读后续写专题(六)

To celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday, Luke Fortune drove from a small town in Central Oregon to Portland, where he parked his car in a paid garage overnight. The next morning, he discovered that the car’s window had been smashed, along with his dreams for the future: His backpack and computer were gone.
“Everything important to me was on that computer,” said Fortune, 21, who is studying to become a paramedic(护理人员). “My classwork, every paper I’d written, and all the programs I needed for my paramedic tests. Every letter I was working on for job applications. I felt sick.”
Two days after the theft, another young man was standing outside his apartment, also in Portland. Masoud Almazrouei, 29, is an exchange student from the United Arab Emirates. He had been approached by a man who said he had a computer for sale. Only $200. Almazrouei, who had been in the United States for only a year, admits now that he was naive(天真). But he needed a computer, so he bought it, took it home, and turned it on. Within seconds, he saw files and photographs.
“I wondered who would sell a computer with all of this on it,” he said. “I realized it could be stolen.” Almazrouei found what appeared to be the owner’s cellphone number and called it.
“This guy with a thick accent told me he had my computer,” Fortune said. “He told me the story and said it was his fault. I thought it was a scam(骗局). I told him if he really had the computer, he should take it to the police.”
Soon after, a police officer called Fortune to say that a man had dropped the computer off and had said he was sorry. He passed along the man’s number.

Paragraph 1: Fortune called and thanked Almazrouei and insisted on paying him a reward of $200, the money he was out. Almazrouei refused. He said it was his mistake to buy the computer from someone he didn’t know and he was the one to shoulder the responsibility. More importantly, he said, it was his honor to return the property to the rightful owner. “I saw a photo of this man in his paramedic uniform,” Almazrouei said. “They help people. He is a good man. I don’t want my money back.”
Paragraph 2: A story about the two young men’s encounter made it to the local papers. Overnight, Almazrouei became a household name and received numerous compliments for his honesty and kindness. One day he got a call from the president of Portland State University, where Almazrouei is studying economics. Impressed with his student’s integrity, the president gave Almazrouei a new MacBook Pro. “We thought since you gave back the laptop, we should give you a laptop so that you’ll have one,” He told Almazrouei. “We’re very proud of you. It was a great story, and you did the right thing.”高考英语读后续写专题(三)

It was a rainy November morning. Overcome with anger, I knew if I didn't leave the house soon I would lose my temper with my husband, Joe. As rain came down in sheets, Joe offered to take me to work. I struggled into my jacket, seized my bag and teaching plans and ignored him.
He insisted and reached for his boots. I looked at the piles of newspapers and the dirty dishes still on the table. "Don't you have enough to do I can take care of myself." I stormed out, not even kissing him good-bye. Joe shouted after me not to take the shortcut(捷径)
Joe and I had been eagerly looking forward to our retirement when a heart attack that past spring forced him to leave his job earlier than we had planned. As the medical bills mounted we realized I would have to continue working full-time while Joe stayed home and took over the housework.
The new arrangement was a disaster. Exhausted after a day of full work, all I wanted was a hot homecooked meal and a good night's sleep. However, what greeted me at the table was a microwave package. Sometimes he would serve oatmeal(燕麦) for several nights in a row. One night when I dragged myself to bed, I was terrified to discover Joe had turned our white sheets blue. He told me he had found out how to save on water, soap and electricity. He patted his blue trousers and announced proudly washing everything together was just the secret.
Ten minutes later, ignoring Joe's warning I turned off the main route(道路). I thought it hadn't rained enough to flood the road, but as I rounded the corner, water rushed across my path. After a few feet, the car got stuck. I opened the door and water poured in. I hurriedly closed the door. I couldn't risk walking in this. Almost 20 minutes passed. The car began to shake. I got frightened to death when I heard three long honks(喇叭声).

Thank goodness, it was Joe who came to my rescue. However, the water was running so rapidly that he had to go back. Frightened and a little angry, I could hardly help shedding tears. How I wished that my husband were like a superman who could save me from disaster. But, after a while, it turned out that Joe returned with one end of a rope in his hand and the other end tied to the truck. He struggled to throw the rope to me and shouted, "Catch! Open the door!"
Paragraph 2: I screamed that I couldn't make it. At that moment, the sound of the raging water outside grew louder, and the car rocked more violently. Worse still, the water came up to Joe’s waist and he almost lost his footing in the water. After several vain attempts, Joe realized that there was no chance to make it. He put every ounce of strength into getting close to me and said soothingly, "Don't panic, honey! I'm here." With Joe's help, I burst the door open, and Joe immediately tied the rope around my waist. The moment we pulled ourselves out of the water, the car was washed away. What a narrow escape! I hugged Joe tightly, happiness and love welling up inside me.

It was the late 1930s, and things were tough. Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our soles(鞋底)were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.
Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.
Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, shoveling snow, and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.
Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas goodies. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad.

Paragraph 1:
As I continued walking I began to reconsider my plan. I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while my mother was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I realized that 25 dollars I had worked so hard for went a long way towards lights, decorations and a turkey. After finishing shopping, I went home.
Paragraph 2:
With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! When Mum opened the door, some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor, and she just stood there, dumb founded. Holding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas!” That day I got enough hug sand kisses from Mum to last two lifetimes. 高考英语读后续写专题(八)

Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.
It was her sister Josephine who told her. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who read the news of the railroad disaster, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed."
She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.
She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of a chair. There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under the breath: "free, free, free!" Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.
She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her. There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature.
And yet she had loved him--sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter! "Free! Body and soul free!" she kept whispering.
Josephine was kneeling before the closed door, imploring for admission. "Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door--you will make yourself ill. What are you doing, Louise For heaven's sake open the door."
"Go away. I am not making myself ill." No; she was drinking in a very elixir of life through that open window.
Her fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her. Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.
She arose at length and opened the door to her sister's importunities.
Some one was opening the front door with a latchkey.

Some one was opening the front door with a latchkey.It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained, composedly carrying his grip-sack and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood amazed at Josephine's piercing cry; at Richards' quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife. When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease--of the joy that kills.

Three boys and three girls were going to the beach. When they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches. Suddenly, they noticed Vingo. He sat in front of them, eyes fixed upon a photo, completely in silence.
Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, a service area, and everybody got on except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they came back, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. “Want some wine ” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again.
The next morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies. When they returned, the girl sat with Vingo again. After a while, slowly and painfully, he began his story. He had been in prison for the past four years, and now he was going home.
“Are you married ”
“I don’t know. ”
“You don’t know ” she said.
“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife, ” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, she could just forget me. I’d understand. Get a new guy, I said. She’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years. ”
“And you’re going home now, not knowing ”
“Yeah. Well, last week, we was sure the parole(假释) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick and there’s a big oak(橡树) tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new man and if she’d take me back, she should put yellow handkerchief on the tree and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it—no handkerchief and I’d go on through. ”
“Wow, ” the girl exclaimed, “Wow, ”
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it.

Looking at the photo, the young people found a young woman and three children in it. “What a lovely woman and cute kids. ” “Yeah, she is a smart woman who can always make our small house warm and comfortable. ” Vingo whispered. With Brunswick approaching, Vingo stopped staring at the photo, tightening his face with a shudder, as if protecting himself against another disappointment. The young people took over window seats, waiting for the coming of the oak tree. Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. All the people opened their eyes wide, waiting for a miracle, with their pulses beat fast. Suddenly, they all jumped up from their seats, screaming except Vingo.
Vingo sat there amazed, staring at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, twenty or thirty of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. The oak tree stood like a banner of welcome, blowing in the wind. All the young people were up out of their seats, shouting, crying, doing small dances or shaking fists in triumph. As the young people remained thrilled, Vingo slowly rose from his seat, holding himself tightly. With the coursing blood warming and relaxing every inch of his body, his fancy was running riot along the days ahead of him. He made his way to the front of the bus to go home.高考英语读后续写专题(九)

Danny stood with his mother at the kitchen window of their tiny house. Mom put her arm around Danny. “Just look at that view,” she said. “Can you believe we live here I think it’s the most beautiful place on earth.” Mom was right; it looked like a postcard out there, with the palm threes swaying in the breeze, the bushes covered with pink and white flowers, and the ocean a sparkling silver strip in the distance.
Danny couldn’t stand looking at it. All he wanted was to be back in New York City, looking out his old apartment window at the jumble of dirty buildings, the smoke thick in the air, and his friends.
Mom thought that coming here to Hawaii would give Danny a fresh start-just she and Danny. She wanted to get him away from danger and trouble.
After a while, Mom kissed Danny good-bye after straightening her white nurse’s cap and went off to work. Slowly Danny stood up, making a plan in his mind for his journey back to New York City. But then he heard a noise in his backyard. There was a crash, a strange squeal, and an earsplitting scream.
Danny flung open the back door. Mom’s new pot of flowers lay shattered on the ground. “Was someone in trouble Or were robbers planning to break in ” thought Danny. He picked up a broom, ready to strike. He didn’t see anyone, but then he caught sight of a small dark head poking out from behind one of the thick bushes. Danny put down the broom and walked over. It was a little kid, maybe three years old. “What the hack was he doing here all by himself Was he hurt ” thought Danny.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!” the kid screamed. “Hey!” Danny said. The kid turned around. He was grinning like a monkey standing on a mountain of bananas. And he was clutching a little animal of some kind. “Puppy!” the kid said. Danny studied the animal. It was very small and black except for one white ear. He didn’t want to break the kid’s heart, but he was pretty sure it wasn’t a puppy. It looked more like a rat.
“My puppy!” the kid said, hugging the poor ugly critter so tight Danny was sure it would pop like a balloon. Danny looked around. The kid was too young to be wandering around on his own. “Who are you ” Danny said, bending down to look the kid in the eye. “Aki!” he said. “Who you ” “I’m Danny,” said Danny. “Danny see my puppy ” Aki held out his poor squished pet like he wanted Danny to give it a big smooch.
And then the kid’s eyes got huge. He pointed to something over Danny’s shoulder. “Monster!” he said. Danny spun around and there, moving toward them, was the ugliest animal Danny had ever seen in his life. It was black, the size of a huge dog, with wiry bristles, a pig’s snout, and two huge spiked tusks sprouting right from its face like swords. It did look like a monster.
The animal grunted and snorted as it stared at Aki with beady black eyes.
Prepare to die! it seemed to be saying. And it seemed the monster was ready to charge at them.
Paragraph 1:
“Put down the puppy!” Danny said, suddenly understanding
Paragraph 2:
“Aki want puppy,” he said, throwing his arms around Danny and burying his face in Danny’s chest.

1. 确定主题:大主题是人与自然。故事主要内容是夫妻偶遇北极熊自救,最后感悟人与动物的关系,体谅动物的生存环境。hungry是关键词,可以思考什么原因导致饥饿?人类的活动是否是主要原因?人类应该做些什么?
2. 时空变化:没有大的时空转换,making dinner时,短时间内发生在营地篱笆附近的险情。危急时,正好直升飞机赶到。
3. 续写难点:情节比较简单,但想象的空间很大。一般的处理方法是侧重细节描写,心理活动与情感描写,平时需要积累一定量的能表现人物情绪与心理的具体动作词汇。

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated(不耐烦的), to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question ”
“Yeah sure, what is it ” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour ”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing ” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. Please tell me. How much do you make an hour ” pleaded the little boy.
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $10 ”
The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked that is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. “How dare he ask such questions only to get some money ” he thought to himself. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son ” he asked.
“No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh. Thank you, daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled(皱巴巴的) bills.

Paragraph 1: The man, seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again. “How can you be so selfish Why do you want more money since you already have these bills ” the father could hardly hold his anger back and inquired with two eyebrows knitted into one. With holding back tears in his eyes, the little boy slowly and carefully counted out his money, and then looked up at his father, replying, “Because I didn’t have enough before, but now I do.” with big blue eyes shining with tears.
Paragraph 2: Not knowing what his son meant, the father just stood there, waiting for his boy’s explanation. Wiping away his tears and an innocent smile appearing on his face, the boy requested in a relieved voice, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour from you Please come home early tomorrow. I want to have dinner with you.” Hearing the boy’s small but sincere request, the father couldn’t hold back his tears.

Once there was a slave named Androcles, who was so badly treated by his master that he resolved to run away from him. He therefore secretly left his master’s house and hid himself in a forest, some miles distant from the city.
After wandering about for some time, he came to a large cave, and overcome by hunger and tiredness, he lay down in it, and soon fell fast asleep.
He was suddenly awakened by the roar of a wild beast; a great lion stood right at the mouth of the cave. There was no way he could escape!
Androcles expected nothing else than to be at once torn to pieces, but to his great surprise, the lion came gently towards him, without showing any signs of anger. It gave forth a low and mournful (悲哀的)sound, as if it were begging for his assistance. As the lion approached him, he noticed that one of its feet was swollen.
He then went up to the lion, took hold of the wounded paw(爪子), and examined it as a surgeon would examine a patient. He was not long in finding out the cause of the swelling; for he saw in the ball of the foot a very large thorn (刺). The slave pulled out the thorn, and pressed out of the wound a quantity of matter, which gave the lion immediate relief.
Then, the lion began to show his gratitude by every means in his power. He jumped about like a playful spaniel (西班牙猎犬), wagged his great tail, and licked the hands and feet of his physician. From that moment Androcles became his guest; the lion always shared his prey.
The slave continued to live like this for several months. At length, wandering carelessly through the woods, he was seized by a company of soldiers who were sent by the master to search for him.

One time, the teachers at a school wanted to teach the students about airplanes. While all airplanes can fly, some are able to fly farther than others. This is because not all airplanes are built the same. For example, a fighter plane looks very different from a plane that people fly in when they want to go on a holiday. The teachers wondered how they could make students understand this.
Then, the science teacher, Mr Moose, decided that the school should have a paper airplane contest. Every student would design a paper airplane. They would stand in a line in the playground behind the school. The students would take turns throwing their airplanes. The student whose airplane went the farthest would win.
When Mr Moose announced the paper airplane contest to the students, they were very excited. A student named Paul, who was on the school sports team, said to everyone else that his airplane would win. “I am the strongest,” Paul said. “So I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.”
However, while Paul was saying this, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win. Brian did not play any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest.
Brian realized what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big stack (叠) of paper. When he got home, he took the paper into his backyard. He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane. It didn’t go very far, so Brian took another piece and folded another airplane and threw it. This airplane went a little farther. Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing them. Some went very far and some did not. Finally, when Brian had used all the paper, he walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up.
The next day was the contest. All the students lined up. Everyone took turns. After a while, everyone had thrown except Paul and Brian. Paul went first. With a loud yell, he threw the airplane into the sky. It went farther than every other airplane. Everyone cheered.

Finally, it was Brian’s turn. Brian took the airplane that he had picked up the day before. He walked up to the line and, with all his strength, he threw the plane. It went flying, farther and farther, until finally it landed – 10 feet past Paul’s plane! The whole school cheered. Brian won the contest. Mr Moose gave him a prize: a toy airplane.
Brian won because he tried out many solutions to the problem of how to make an airplane fly very far. He did this by testing out many different designs and comparing the results. When he found the design that worked best – the paper airplane that flew the farthest – he used it. Because Brian tried a lot of designs, he was able to make up for his lack of strength and beat Paul.高考英语读后续写专题(十)
一:典题技法指导
It was a beautiful October evening, a cool gentle breeze was blowing as the moon rose high in the sky, and I had gotten home from work about an hour earlier. As I often did after a long day, I went straight to my backyard and did some work in my flower garden before deciding to light the grill to make dinner for my husband and myself. I had only just walked a few steps when I suddenly felt a horrible blow to the right side of my neck. It felt as though someone had hit me with a baseball bat(棒球棒). I knew that no one was in the yard with me, so no one could have hit me. Totally confused, I reached up and, to my shock and horror, realized that I had been shot- with an arrow.
I grabbed the arrow tightly where it had gone through my neck and ran inside, screaming my husband's name. Ed was in the back of the house talking to our daughter, Keila, on the phone. He dropped the phone and ran to me. Ed grabbed me by the shoulders to stop me from running and told me to lie down on the couch. Then he went to call 911. I lay there and prayed. I didn't know if there was any way that I could survive.
The next hour or so was a crazy, disorderly mix of events. The arrow had come from a young hunter practicing with a compound bow, used for hunting, in his backyard. Luckily, he was using a practice arrow, which is smooth and rounded; a broadhead arrow for hunting would have killed me. He lived across the back street and was shooting to the north. The arrow had bounced and turned back to the south. It went over two, possibly three, fences, through the bushes and an oak tree, between two large hanging baskets, and into my neck as I walked to the grill. A shot from a compound bow can travel up to 200 miles per hour, or 300 feet per second.

Paragraph 1: Soon, I was sent to the hospital.
Paragraph 2: The bow hunter paid a visit to me the next day.
二、写作思路
1. 确定主题:考查遇险如何解决问题的能力,第一段可以提及first aid,第二段可以强调安全教育,同时,强调学会宽容他人的过失。
2. 时空变化:第一段应该是故事当天送到医院,第二段是是第二天应该是作者住院的病房内。
3. 续写难点:情节比较简单,但很难确定主题。如果是强调急救,应该属于人与自然--自然灾害与防范,安全常识与自我保护方面的内容。如果是强调宽容,应该是人与社会--良好的人际关系与社会交往。如果强调生命的意义与价值,应该属于人与自我。因此,文章很难收尾。根据原文第三段,这支箭能如此离奇地射中“I”,那这支箭为什么不能射中我的女儿 (Keila) 的心, 最后年轻人成了我女儿的男友呢?来个surprise ending不是很好吗?下水时有过这样的思考,但还是放弃了。

7. Hearing this, I smiled at my husband and then sighed with relief.
Paragraph 2: The bow hunter paid a visit to me the next day.

Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room. She had not competed since the accident. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. Today was very important in her comeback (复出). "If I can win today," she thought, "I can skate in the World Cup next year."
Before Laurie had her accident, everyone had said that she was the one to beat.
She thought back to that car accident where her right knee was badly injured. She spent six total months on recovery, treatment and practice because she hoped to regain her skill.
"Hello, Laurie," one of her friends burst in. "How's the knee Is it going to slow you down "
"I guess we'll find out tonight," Laurie said.
"There's a girl named Jinny, strong in everything. She's the only real competitor you have to beat," the friend said and hurried out.
Hearing that, Laurie decided to show her most difficult jump. "If I don't try it, I won't stand a chance," she thought. "Does anyone believe that I can still win "
Suddenly her right knee sent pain up and down her leg. The doctor said it would do that for a while. "What makes you think you have a chance tonight " she said to herself.
After the pain passed, she moved slowly to warm up. Then she said firmly, "I must win!"
At that moment, a young woman hurried in with a skate equipment bag. She put some of her belongings onto a chair. Her bag fell to the floor. "Hi, I'm Jinny Jordan," she said.
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. "So this is my competitor," thought Laurie. "Because of her, I may lose tonight."
"I'm Laurie Collins," Laurie told Jinny. "Something fell out of your bag, Jinny."
As Jinny began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
"Jinny," someone called, "your tape of music is missing. You are the next one! Laurie, after Jinny."
"Oh, my God! I thought I had handed it in hours ago, the green box with my name on," screamed Jinny, hurrying out.
