Question

【题目】阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

During the winter of 1986 I was working in construction near Oakland，California. It is not unusual for construction workers’hands to become very painful during winter after working with concrete，wet wood，mud，etc. My hands were no exception that year. They were actually cracking(龟裂)open at the joints in the fingers and thumbs. So I was always conplaining about my hurting hands. I often wondered when my cracked hands would not be painful.

Stopping work because of hurting hands is simply not possible in the construction industry. You grit your teeth(咬紧牙关)，keep working and finish the job—but do further damage to your hands in the process. The only break occurs on weekends. My co-workers and I used to comfort each other almost every day. The pain is similar to that of“paper cuts”occurring many times an hour.

One morning I left for work at 5：00 a. m. to pour concrete and pulled into a gas station to fuel up. As I got out of my truck，I noticed a newspaper delivery van(有篷货车)and the driver struggling with bales(大捆)of daily newspapers. I took a second look and noticed that the man was born with arms that ended halfway down each forearm. I was amazed to see him doing a job that would otherwise require a very physically gifted person. Still，he was somewhat struggling with the large bales because his arms simply weren’t long enough to carry these bales. Instead he had to“pinch”the bales and lift them with his short and thick arms. Then I found he had difficulty tying his shoes although he had tried many times. I wondered how I could give him some help.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1：

On my way to the convenience store at the station，I stopped and asked him if I could help him in any way. He politely refused my offer. A few minutes later, while I was putting more fuel into my truck，he cried out suddenly，“Hey buddy，I think I need some help. Would you mind tying my shoes for me?”As I was tying his shoes, he went on to explain that tying his shoes was the only thing he couldn’t do for himself. He thanked me as I got into my truck and started to drive away.

Paragraph 2：

I came to a full stop and looked back at him as he was getting into his van. I looked down at my hands. Suddenly it hit me：I had been complaining about my hurting hands for weeks. That man back there would have done anything to have my cracked hands. Every winter after that when my hands started cracking，I thought back to that man without forearms in 1986. And just like magic，they stopped hurting.

【解析】

本文是一篇读后续写。

本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知：作者在建筑工地工作，每到冬天手上皮肤经常会裂开，给作者带来了很多的痛苦。作者因此常和他的工友们相互安慰。一天早上作者去加油站加油，看到了一个双手残疾的人吃力的再捆报纸后艰难的系鞋带。作者在想如何帮助他。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：在去车站便利店的路上，我停了下来。这一段应写作者想提出帮助但那位先生先拒绝了我后，又请求我帮他系鞋带，并且因此感谢了我。第二段开头是：我停了下来，回头看了看他，他正往货车里走。本段应写重点写作者自己的感悟：以后的每个冬天每当想起那个人的手，作者受伤的手就不会再痛了。

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。
