七、读后续写
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in Primary school, our class decided to make “May Day baskets” for our mothers anonymously (匿名). For days, we worked on creating paper baskets, following a magic design shared by our teacher Miss Cosmos.
We finished right on time. Miss Cosmos brought some bright flowers for us to fill our baskets with. We had to wait until the day was nearly over. When the bell rang, we picked our schoolbags, carefully held our offerings of love and ran back home!
I was so excited! I ran as fast as I could down the hill and across the street. After arrival, when deciding to hang the basket lovingly on our door, I was surprised that my flowers were gone! There was only an empty basket! I stood in front of the door and began to cry.
Soon, my mom came to the door to discover the source of the sadness. While she helped me off with my coat and school things, I tried to talk about my terrible situation. As she listened, she wiped (擦拭) my face and touched my hair with the other hand. I fell weakly into her arms.
Then Mom did what I would never forget. She took a knife from the kitchen and my poor little empty basket from the table. We went to our garden where there were some beautiful flowers. She cut one, placed it in my basket, handed me the knife, and then went to the house to prepare dinner. Slowly, as I cut the flowers and arranged them in my paper basket, my gift was ready to be offered. Suddenly, I realized the surprise, so important to my deed, was now totally gone. But at least, I had my May Day basket with flowers.
注意:续写词数应为80个左右。
I hung the basket on our door, knocked, and hid. ______________________________

I hung the basket on our door, knocked, and hid. My mom opened the door and was surprised to see the basket. She looked around, wondering where it came from. I couldn’t wait any longer and jumped out from my hiding place, yelling “Happy May Day!” My mom hugged me tightly and thanked me for the beautiful flowers. She told me that she had never received such a thoughtful gift before. That moment, what I suddenly realized was that the surprise was not gone at all. It was still there in my heart, and it made me feel happy and loved.
