阅读下面短文，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。
A woman who had a stroke (中风) while on a Face Time video call with her sister, said the technology saved her life. Esmee Russell, head of the Stroke Association, said, “A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. That’s why it’s so important that people know how to act fast: it could save a life.” Strokes happen when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a clot (凝块), or damaged by bleeding that causes brain cells in the affected area to die.
Opokua Kwapong, who lives alone in New York, was on a call with her sister, Adumea Sapong, in Manchester, when Mrs Sapong noticed that her elder sister “didn’t look right”. And she also noticed her sister’s voice was slurred (口齿不清). Ms Kwapong said she had not realised how serious the situation was.
The 58-year-old Kwapong had woken from an afternoon sleep when Mrs Sapong called her on Face Time. Ms Kwapong said “My sister looked at me and said she could see that my face didn’t look right. She also said that I was slurring my words, but I thought she was making a fuss (大惊小怪) and I didn’t believe her.”
Mrs Sapong said When I called Kwapong, she said that she'd not been feeling well and had been feeling tired and was also having some difficulty walking. I said, ‘Perhaps you need to take some medicine.’ She tried to pick up a glass of water and wasn’t able to. Then I noticed on the Face Time video call that her face was drooping. I told her she needed to hang up and immediately see a doctor. She thought I was making a fuss so I then called one of my other sisters, who is a doctor, and she could hear her speaking and could also tell that her speech was slurred. We both told her to call for help at once.”
注意：
1． 续写词数应为150左右；

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services. The ambulance rushed to her house and nurses sent her to hospital. In hospital, Ms Kwapong was diagnosed with stroke and should stay at hospital for at least one week, Her sister Adumea Sapong looked after her. Her doctor said she was lucky to receive treatment quickly or she could have had much trouble.
Ms Kwapong said: “There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life. If my sister had not noticed that something was not right, then things could have been so different. Not only did technology save my life, it now also allows me to live my life. I rely a lot on FaceTime as I’m not able to travel as much as I did previously. You hear a lot of negative stories about the Internet and technology, but I think this is an example of how technology can help us in daily life.”

Back in the early 1980s, the idea of home computers was catching on. I wasn't keen on getting one. Somehow, I evolved and have owned several computers over the years. Some days, I loved my computer, but more often than not, I hated it. I didn't grow up with them, and they were a challenge to my mental health. Dealing with modern technology was my introduction to stress, and I know who to blame: my children.
They weren't satisfied that their dad and I finally bought a computer and learned to send e-mails. We were quite happy with that, but next came a cellphone. Then just talking on the phone was not acceptable; they insisted we learn to text as well. We couldn't get a break.
I remember well the night that Facebook became a household word around here. Those kids of ours were determined to set up a joint account for us. It took some convincing. We felt no guilt for grating on (激怒) their nerves considering the drama they'd sometimes created for us during their teenage years. A little payback wouldn't hurt those two.
More recently, my husband and I were forced into getting rid of our flip phones and getting smartphones. I will admit that I progressed into appreciating mine. I liked speaking to Siri and finding out what I needed to know in an instant. I enjoyed having Internet access everywhere I went. I felt a sense of accomplishment; my husband-not so much. To this day, he would happily take back his flip phone.
Last Christmas, our children surprised us with yet another popular form of technology-Alexa. The girls took our smartphones in hand and got us programmed. Before we fully understood what was happening, we could tell Alexa to turn our lamp on or off, and she would. To be honest, we were a bit annoyed at having to learn how to use yet another device, but we decided to keep it. We mastered turning the lamp on and off, and once again I got the hang of it sooner than my husband did. I became his Alexa coach.

One night, Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We should thank our children and grandchildren.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One night, Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command. I tried to say “Turn on the light” to it countless times, but Alexa didn’t work. “New technologies are always unreliable.” my husband complained. I searched the Internet and immediately found the reason why Alex couldn’t work. I just needed to tell Alex to set the light color to white or whatever color I wanted, and then it would turn on the light. Then Alex turned on the light itself.
We should thank our children and grandchildren. It was our children and grandchildren that taught us to use technology so that I could find a solution on the Internet by myself. Without them, our life is always invariable and boring. Our children and grandchildren “force” us to accept and use technology, which seems to put us under pressure. However, the fact is that our children and grandchildren let us really accept and use technology to make our life more convenient.
【解析】
本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的孩子们为自己和丈夫推荐了许多现代科技产品，作者从很有压力变得喜欢上它们，有一种成就感，但是作者的丈夫不太喜欢。去年圣诞节，孩子们给作者的智能手机安装了Alexa程序，可以打开或者关闭灯。

Grandma Agnes is ninety-nine years old and still live in the same house a he's lived in for more than sixty years. She was one of thirteen children raised on a farm. And now. she is rather set in her ways,
For twelve years, Grandma ages enjoyed the c or up any of her dog, Snoopy. The black and white spotted must was a constant presence in her home and her yard. During the time that she had Snoopy, Grandma Agnes started showing signs of dementia. My family worked together to keep her living independently but safe.
It was difficult for my dad the day he pulled the battery from her car to keep her from using her still valid driver's license, Every visit after that day, Grandma Agnes would insist that he buy her a new car battery because hers was dead again. Dad nodded and agreed to do it, knowing that the conversation would soon be forgotten.
Three years ago. Snoopy passed away, My dad. Aunt Carol and Uncle Ed thought of ways to ensure that Grandma Agnes would know that Snoopy was gone, They had burial service in the back yard with Grandma. Uncle Ed printed a picture of Snoopy with “Rest in Peace” written across the bottom and stuck it to the refrigerator, But on the daily visits. Grandma Agnes still asked about Snoopy, She accused the neighbors of taking her dog because she was sure that she heard bin barking from their yard.
Having a family member with dementia is heartbreaking and trying. For every visit I've made in the past five years, my dad has made a point to tell me that she probably won't remember who I am nor that my kids are her great grandchildren, I've sat through conversations where we patiently repeated answers to questions that were answered a few moment sago. Grandma Agnes is still there. and she's still her stubborn self. but she doesn't grasp the world around her, And yet she insists on living independently and asking about Snoopy constantly.

Everyone in our family is pleased that Grandma Agnes has been so kind to Snoopy.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
A few months ago, Uncle Ed came up with a good idea and bought a robotic dog for Grandma Agnes. It has soft fur and barks when it senses motion nearby. Grandma quickly adopted the dog as her new Snoopy. Her condition has led her to believe that he is an animal and not a robot. She got used to Snoopy's barks and regarded them as requests for food or a nap. The food disappearing every night helped convince Grandma that Snoopy was a real dog. We found from the camera that the neighbor cat climbed over the fence and ate all the dog food.
Para 2:
Everyone in our family is pleased that Grandma Agnes has been so kind to Snoopy. She would pet him gently and carefully prepare food and water for him. Once, when the dog didn't move, eat and bark, she anxiously phoned Uncle Ed. She was afraid Snoopy was ill, Uncle Ed found he just needed changing battery. Our family is grateful that the robotic dog has brought Grandma Agnes companionship and someone to love. It's beautiful that her love of dogs can continue through this time in her life.

Grandma Agnes is ninety-nine years old and still live in the same house a he's lived in for more than sixty years. She was one of thirteen children raised on a farm. And now. she is rather set in her ways,
For twelve years, Grandma ages enjoyed the c or up any of her dog, Snoopy. The black and white spotted must was a constant presence in her home and her yard. During the time that she had Snoopy, Grandma Agnes started showing signs of dementia. My family worked together to keep her living independently but safe.
It was difficult for my dad the day he pulled the battery from her car to keep her from using her still valid driver's license, Every visit after that day, Grandma Agnes would insist that he buy her a new car battery because hers was dead again. Dad nodded and agreed to do it, knowing that the conversation would soon be forgotten.
Three years ago. Snoopy passed away, My dad. Aunt Carol and Uncle Ed thought of ways to ensure that Grandma Agnes would know that Snoopy was gone, They had burial service in the back yard with Grandma. Uncle Ed printed a picture of Snoopy with “Rest in Peace” written across the bottom and stuck it to the refrigerator, But on the daily visits. Grandma Agnes still asked about Snoopy, She accused the neighbors of taking her dog because she was sure that she heard bin barking from their yard.
Having a family member with dementia is heartbreaking and trying. For every visit I've made in the past five years, my dad has made a point to tell me that she probably won't remember who I am nor that my kids are her great grandchildren, I've sat through conversations where we patiently repeated answers to questions that were answered a few moment sago. Grandma Agnes is still there. and she's still her stubborn self. but she doesn't grasp the world around her, And yet she insists on living independently and asking about Snoopy constantly.
