Question

【题目】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。

Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar. The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people. On one side of the boardwalk (木板人行道) was a woman who was cleaning the beach with a broom; on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring to sea. I chose a spot between them and began to play.

As I played, the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me. She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom, smiling at me. She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.

“You sure play beautiful music.” she said. “I think my friend would like you music. I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean, then produced a few coins from her pocket. “I don’t have much, and I know you’re worth a lot, but if I give this to you, will you play a song for her? She’s going through a lot. I know the music will make her feel better.”

I told her I’d be happy to play for free.

As we walked over to her friend, the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached, and the Broom Lady introduced me, “Annie, I got you a present to cheer you up. It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.”

Annie didn’t move. She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face.

I sat next to Annie and played. As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman. I played for quite a while.

Suddenly, Annie turned toward me and said, “You make it so beautiful. I can feel it inside my heart.”

Answer 1

【答案】She took off her sunglasses. I could tell a faint glow pierced the dark clouds of frustration in her eyes. I gestured to her to sit opposite to me and she slowly moved closer. I kept on playing the guitar, trying to reveal my sympathy, understanding and comfort through the soft melodies. It seemed that she couldn’t but recall the bitter and severe days she went through as tears streamed down her cheeks. She didn’t wipe them off but had them falling down, as if all her worries and sorrows went away as well.

When I stopped playing and looked up, I was shocked to see a small crowed around us. They looked at me with enthusiasm, bursting into applause. Annie stood up and clapped her hands too. Several women, having kept an eye on her, approached and hugged her, whispering some cheerful words before they left. Refreshed and relieved, Annie threw her arms around my neck and uttered, “Thank you for your music.”, which assured the Broom Lady of her return to normal speech. I had put on numerous shows to different audiences, but this remained the most healing and rewarding one.
