The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.

“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone shouted.

Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.

Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke.

They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.

Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, whom they called Makcik. Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.

“She might have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik's still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She hit against the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”

Paragraph 1:

Tom noticed the flame was reaching up.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1:

Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot and held Jane's hand tightly. Both of them were coughing heavily. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to protect her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She hit against the door again and again.

Paragraph 2:

Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the fear and anxiety in Jane's mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their strength. Sure enough, Makcik was inside the room, lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom were very happy.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。

通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要记叙了Tom和姐姐Jane在家时，楼下摩托车店突然失火。他们冲出门，穿过浓烟，穿过走廊。Jane突然想起了住在他们隔壁的一位70多岁的老太太，想要告诉她让她逃生。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Tom注意到火焰正在上升。所以后文应该是讲述火烧上来后他们的反应，Tom吓呆了，像生了根似的站在原地，紧紧地抓住Jane的手，他们两个都咳嗽得很厉害。Jane还是坚持撞门。第二段开头是：幸运的是，一些路过的邻居停下来提供帮助。本段应该写他们和邻居一起救出了老太太的经过。

最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
