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。

I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.

The woman looked down, shook her head and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, l don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps(食品券).

Neither did I know how I could get through the days a year ago during my fresh year in the company. I didn’t know the rules, I was not familiar with the work, and I couldn’t feel the value of myself. I was even wondering whether I could get along, as my father was gone, my mother had no work and my brother was only 7. That feeling was exactly what the woman had said. Fortunately, things had changed since I received my colleague’s card, from which I felt the encouragement, and sensed happiness falling upon me again.

So I really wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, or ask for her husband’s resume (简历)? As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. Suddenly I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.

Then I approached the woman. My heart pounded as this was the first time that I had come with the idea to help a stranger.

“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help accidentally hearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”

I handed her the small card from my purse.

Answer 1

【答案】When the woman read the card, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said, “You really have no idea how much this means to me.” I was greatly surprised by her response. Not having done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive from the strange woman. All I could think of to say was, “Oh my. Would itbe OK to give you a hug?”

After we embraced, I walked back to my car and the words on the card crowded into my mind again. “You Matter.” The only two words on the card reminded me of what happened a few weeks earlier, when a colleague gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt warmth and happiness welling up inside me. Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them with people in need. As someone put it, kindness, no matter how small, could make a big difference.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，主人公在购物的时候偶遇一个生活处于艰难时期的女人，这让作者回想起一年前自己相似的经历，那时正是由于同事的一张卡片的鼓励，让作者重新获得快乐。所以作者也想用卡片去帮助这个女人，希望她度过这段艰难时期。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：当那个女人读卡片时，她哭了起来。所以接下来应该讲述女人为什么哭？具体描述女人对主人公送卡片的行为的反应，这张卡片对她来说意味着什么，同时描述两个人之间的语言交流，文字要能体现出女人的感动。第二段开头是：我们拥抱之后，我回我的车上，卡片上的话再一次涌入我的脑海。所以接下来应该讲述卡片上写了什么，穿插作者对当时收到卡片时的回忆，这张卡片是在她艰难的时期收到的，带给她鼓励和快乐。所以在那之后，作者打算把同样善良的举动传播下去，希望带给别人帮助。

续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
