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。

One morning, Ann’s neighbour Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. It was a beautiful dog, which attracted Tracy a lot. So Tracy thought the owner of the dog must have been worried about it and looked for it around, she was a warm-hearted woman, so she decided to help the lost dog. In no time, she asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.

Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND flyers (传单), and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.

Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, which they had started to call Riley. They began to love the dog, which was so clever and cute that every member of the family loved it. One day, when Ann arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.

“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1:

However, the next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter had seen the flyer and recognized his lost dog. So he called the number on the flyer. Hearing this, Tracy started crying, and told him, “My friend’s son had a heart operation not long ago, and one day, he suffered a heart attack. It was the dog that saved my friend’s son.”

Paragraph 2:

Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, but saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. The dog was very happy to see his owner again and dashed to him in no time. After a few moments, Peter said. “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you; maybe you should keep it. And I can come to see him at times.” Hearing this, everybody was wild with joy, and the dog wagged his tail, too.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。

通过阅读所给文章可知，Ann的邻居Tracy发现一只走失的狗在当地的小学附近徘徊，她决定帮助丢失的狗。她问安她是否能照看一下那条狗。Ann说她只能看一天。后来这只狗救了Ann患有心脏病的孩子Jack，Ann一家决定收养这只狗。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：然而，第二天早上Tracy接到了一个电话。所以后文应该是讲述狗的主人Peter来寻回这条狗，Tracy非常舍不得伤心，并告诉狗的主人狗救了她朋友孩子的故事；第二段开头是：Peter开车去Ann家接他的狗，本段应该写Peter看到Ann家中孩子不舍得狗离开后的反应，他决定让狗留在Ann的家里。
