The True Meaning of Love
“You don't want that one,” the shelter volunteer said. “He's broken. He'd been abandoned. ”
“Broken Abandoned ” I asked. Had I heard her correctly I looked down at the black cat sitting on my foot. The minute I'd walked into the animal shelter's cat room, he'd been one step behind me, my shadow. I wasn't an expert, but this cat seemed friendly.
The volunteer explained, “He doesn't like anyone-not other cats, not dogs, not people. ”
“I want to adopt him,” I said.
“Really " she asked. There were several other lovely cats up for adoption, cats that would be easier for a first-time owner. “Why ”
“Because he needs a home," I said. Then under my breath, “And because I'm broken too. ” It was 2017. I'd been in therapy(心理治疗)for a while, but it was only recently that my therapist suggested I get an animal companion-preferably something low-maintenance, like a cat. It would be good for me. Maybe it can even help me form connections with people. I didn't know if I believed that. But I went to my local shelter.
I don't know what it was about that little black cat, but I immediately felt a connection with him. Two abandoned peas in a pod, I guess. I filled out the paperwork and left with him that afternoon.
At home I let him out of the carrier so he could explore. I watched as this little cat smelled every inch of the house. Eventually, his curiosity was satisfied, and he settled in my lap. I reached out a hesitant hand to pet him, saying,“You need my help, and I need yours.”
It took me a week to come up with a name for him. I finally settled on Mr. Bojangles, after the song about a homeless man who, even after getting into big trouble, remained happy and positive. I thought the name fitted this cat. Later I called him Bo for short.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

By the time a year passed, we'd settled into a routine.
Amazingly, we both began new connections with the outer world.
文本分析:
故事大意:
续写材料讲述的是2017年主人公“我”因为创伤在接受了一段时间的心理治疗后,“我”遵循咨询师的意见,前往动物收容所领养宠物,帮助治疗“我”的心理问题。在收容所中, “我”看到了一只同样受过伤害的黑猫,感受到了与它之间的连接“connection”,在志愿者并不建议收养的情况下,“我”坚持收养这只黑猫,给他起名“Bo”,由此开启了“我”和“Bo”彼此治愈的过程。
从对文本的解读中,不难看出,这是一个以“爱”为主题的记叙文,文章的脉络与主线都围绕着“寻找爱”和“发现爱”展开。
续写情节发展:
两段续写的段首句 “By the time a year passed, we’d settled into a routine.”“Amazingly, we both began new connections with the outer world. ”给我们提供了写作的框架,第一段承接了“You need my help and I need yours”,由此可以推测出,一年的时间里,通过描述“我”照顾Bo,Bo陪伴“我”的日常生活,为第二段的续写进行铺垫。第二段的续写则侧重写在“我”和Bo的相互陪伴下,相互治愈,最终懂得了爱的意义,开始与外部世界构建联系,升华了爱的主题。通过对文本的解读,这个续写对于学生的难度是较大的,因为学生的思考能力有限,对于文本深层的情感很难在考场上有限的时间内琢磨出来。
I was in therapy and I couldn't form a connection with people.
Before adoption: isolated/lonely negative/ unhappy
After adoption : happy/positive
Plot 1 I saw a friendly black cat.
Plot 2 Though he was broken and abandoned,I adopted him and took him home.
