When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely ruined. One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely ruined home. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Clutching(紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan.

“These poor people now have nothing,” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them.”

I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor, encouraging the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods that they no longer needed.

Meghan walked up with Lucy, her much -loved doll, hugged tightly to her chest. She stopped in front of the box, gave her doll a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys.

“Oh, Honey,” I said. “You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”

Meghan nodded seriously, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make that other little girl happy, too.”

Answer 1

【答案】The boys had watched，open-mouthed, when their sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Without a word, the boys rose and went to their rooms and came back carrying their favorite toys to the living room. Astonished, I realized that the boys had also recognized what little Meghan’s action meant. I think all of them want to make these poor people who have nothing happy like them. Swallowing back tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms.

I looked at my children for a long moment. I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes, too. I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had found on sale last week. I hoped the young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did. What Meghan did taught me a lesson that the true spirit of donating is to give with your heart.

【解析】

本篇书面表达考查读后续写。

本文是一篇读后续写。读后续写一般要求学生阅读一篇记叙文，然后发挥想象，运用自己所学的英语知识去续写一篇中心思想跟全文一致、合乎情理的记叙文。本文的中心思想是：作者打算把衣物捐赠给需要的儿童，发现Meghan愿意把自己心爱的东西捐出来，因此深受感动。由此作者得出结论：给予的真正精神是把自己最珍惜的东西捐给别人。注意词汇的挑选和合理使用。为了让行文连贯，可以增加一些句型和短语。以第一人称I书写并注意使用一般过去时态；所续写的部分要有创新性和想象力，不是原文的抄写或胡编乱造，同时，还要带有原文色彩，所续写短文的词数应为150左右。续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。文章表达正确，标点准确。
