【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。

Every night after dinner, my grandparents would turn on TV for the 6 o'clock news. No matter how hard I tried to act the grown-up and watch with them, I would inevitably(不可避免地) get distracted until 6:30 when Wheel of Fortune came on.

My grandma would play along, trying to guess the answers before the players. Her shouts of excitement when she succeeded could be heard across the house.

As I grew older, my love of reading and writing blossomed, and I would join my grandma in yelling out letters. Soon, I was experiencing the thrill of solving the puzzles faster than the contestants(选手) and even my grandma. I was hooked.

Due to constant moving around with my mom and father, I started to spend less time with my grandparents, but our bond remained strong. My grandparents provided me with the stability, love and support that I desperately needed when I grew up. When I was in a bad mood, I would remember those sweet nights.

A few years later, I was living with my grandpa in Chicago. While watching an episode() of Wheel of Fortune, we had a wave of nostalgia(怀旧). With application, I didn't think much of it until I received a mail months later, announcing that the Wheel of Fortune casting team would come to Chicago. In order to be considered for an in-person audition(试演), applicants would need to submit a sixty-second video explaining why they wanted to be a contestant.

All my childhood memories of watching the show came flooding back, and I knew I was meant to spin(旋转) the wheel for real. Immediately, I recorded a video and submitted it. A couple of weeks later, I received an e-mail inviting me to audition in person. I was very nervous on the audition day. I couldn't believe I was trying out for 'America's Game'! After two rounds of intense auditioning, with half of the hopefuls letting go after the first round, it was over. All of us applicants were told we would receive a letter in the mail within two weeks if we were selected.

【答案】Paragraph 1:

I ran to the mailbox every day but there was nothing. After one week, I became very frustrated and even thought the mail had been delivered to the wrong department. My grandma came and comforted me, 'Laura, wait patiently.' Feeling defeated, I replied, 'I wasn't good enough. They didn't want me. ' She said with a confident tone, 'You will be selected and receive the mail. Trust me.' Though I didn't believe I would receive the mail, I was not so anxious. I calmed down and lived my life as before.

Paragraph 2:

Then one morning while getting ready for work, I checked my mail and let out the loudest scream ever. There it was: a mail from Wheel of Fortune stating that they had a tape date for me. I had to read it several times before I truly believed it. I was going to be a contestant on Wheel of Fortune! I ended up filming my episode a few months later, and the entire experience was amazing. From meeting Pat and Vanna, to spinning the wheel and, most importantly, saying those magical words, 'I'd like to solve the puzzle. ' It was a day I will never forget.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者在爷爷奶奶的影响下喜欢上一档名叫Wheel of Fortune的节目。多年后,当回到芝加哥和爷爷一起居住时,作者收到一封信,邀请他参加这个节目的试演。出于对这个节目的喜爱,作者决定录制一个短片尝试。两轮比赛后,节目组请作者回家等通知。

续写分为两段。

根据第一段的开头“我每天都去邮筒看,但什么都没有”可以接着写:一周后还是没有信件,作者感到沮丧,估计自己可能被淘汰了。但是祖父母安慰她,给她信心,并且让她耐心等待。作者调整心态,回归正常生活。

根据第二段的开头“那天早上我正准备好去上班,检查邮筒时,我大声尖叫起来”可以接着写:作者不敢相信自己收到节目组的来信,并给她安排了录制时间。作者把自己的喜悦同祖父母分享。非常感谢曾经那段陪着他们一起观看节目的日子,让她不仅得到了欢乐还学到了很多知识,得以参加这个全美国人民都喜欢的节目。

5个以上的关键词加大了写作难度。考生应熟悉关键词,以便在适当时候加以运用。写作完成后,要将关键词下划线。

Many things that end up in my mind have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as chores and ended with an insight.4

* Have uncomfortable conversations.

Another great creative stimulus is to regularly engage in conversations with people from whom you might normally recoil( 畏缩). Three of the more unexpectedly fruitful conversations in my life were with a racist taxi driver in London, a drug dealer seatmate on a plane, and an extremist political advocate in Puerto Rico.5This discipline helped me find the psychological flexibility I needed in Canada.

【题目】 Jules is now in his sixties, and is one of the many homeless people who live on the streets; he buys a newspaper most days. Today, with his fellow tramps, he reads about yesterday's student demonstrations.

Like many of the tramps who live under the bridges, Jules was not always so poor. A long time ago he was in the Navy, and like many who have been to sea for a long time, he has stayed slim and fit. Despite the strict organization on board ship, he loved his life, and had the opportunity to see many countries. He visited Poland and Russia; in South Africa he realized what he valued in each country was the people he met. He was always astonished and delighted by the ways in which the people he met differed from one country to another. Some day, he hopes, everyone will see the world as he does.

After many happy years in the Navy, he had to retire. The good things in life always come to an end. His mother and father had long since died and he’d lost touch with his other relatives. He became an industrial designer. He was happy, although it wasn’t the same as the sea. He never wanted to get married and have children.

And then there was the period of darkness. He smiles sadly. He shrugs his shoulders and looks at his hands. There are tears in the corners of his eyes. This is something that he cannot bring himself to talk about. 'It all went wrong, ' he whispers.

He was silent for a while, then recovered. He began to talk more loudly. 'Look at me now---it makes me angry. And what about the President? He's been in power for years, and look what he's done for us. Nothing! I am still out on the streets and live the life of a dog.'
