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。

Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness which I shall never forget.

On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles (导弹) as they rolled to the edge of the roof and shot out into the yard like comets (彗星) falling from the sky.

I found myself a perfectly smooth stone and sent it for a ride. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch (走廊). At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble and ran away.

I was too scared about getting caught that I was concerned about the old lady with the broken window all the time that night. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to look into her eyes.

I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1:

I waited until it was dark. Then I set off. Along my paper route, I became more and more nervous, and my steps getting slower and slower. The darkness like evil almost stopped my breath. Seeing the cold wind shouting towards the broken window caused by the stone, I put the envelope I didn’t sign through the letter slot in her door. My soul felt redeemed and once again, I could have the freedom of looking straight into the old lady’s kind eyes.

Paragraph 2:

The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. She greeted me warmly as usual. However, she took out the envelope when I was about to leave. She told me she had read my note. She knew that it was me! Shocked as I was, I stood like a stone. Wearing a big smile, she said, “That was not a big deal, my dear. You have regretted for it and apologized, which has already ended the mistake.” She returned me the seven dollars and I was sure there was something glorious shinning in her eyes. I got to know it was the grace of forgiveness.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要记叙了作者在四十多年前的一次经历。作者和一个朋友朝一位老妇人的屋顶上扔石头，然后看着它们滚落下来，结果却打碎了老妇人的玻璃，逃跑后作者每天给她报纸时，她仍然微笑着向自己打招呼，作者开始感到内疚，于是决定攒下送报纸赚下的钱，放在一个信封里并写下小纸条，告诉她用这笔钱支付换玻璃的费用。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我等到天黑。后文应当描写作者出发了，沿着送报纸的路线走向老妇人家。作者很紧张，看到破着洞的窗户，作者几乎屏住了呼吸，把没有签名的信封通过投信口放进去了。感觉自己挽回了做错的事情，可以再次轻松地面对这位老妇人了。第二段开头是：第二天，我递给老妇人报纸。后文可以描写她像往常一样热情地和作者打招呼。但是当作者要离开时，她取出信封并告诉作者她知道这些事情和作者有关。 这让作者震惊不已，但她告诉作者那没什么大不了的，还把七美元还给了作者，作者就此感受到了宽恕的力量。注意要使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语。
