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 awoke in the night to find my husband, Marty, gently rocking our baby son, Noah. I stood for a moment in the doorway, watching this amazing man with whom I was so blessed to share my life, lovingly stroke Noah’s fat pink cheeks in an effort to comfort him. I felt in my heart that something was seriously wrong with Noah. This was one of several nights Noah had been up, burning with a high fever.

Tears filled my eyes as I watched Marty move Noah’s little cheek up against his own chest, so that Noah could feel the vibrations of his voice. Noah is deaf. Learning to comfort him has brought on a whole new way of thinking for us. We relied on our voices, audio toys, and music to comfort our other children. But with Noah, we need to use touch, sight, the feel of our voices, and most importantly, the use of sign language to communicate emotions and a sense of comfort to him. Marty made the sign for “I love you” with his hand and I saw a tear roll down his cheek as he placed Noah’s tiny, weak hand on top of his.

We had taken Noah to the doctor more times than I can remember. It had been a week and a half and Noah’s fever remained very high and very dangerous, despite everything the doctor or we had tried. I knew in my soul the way only a mother can know, that Noah was in trouble.

I gently touched Marty’s shoulder and we looked into each other’s eyes with the same fear and knowledge that Noah’s wasn’t getting any better. I offered to take over for him, but he shook his head. When morning finally came, we called the doctor and were told to bring him in again. We already knew that he would probably put Noah in the hospital. So, we made arrangements for the other children, packed bags for all three of us, and tearfully drove to the doctor’s office once again. Our hearts filled with dread, we waited in a small room, different from the usual examining room we had become used to.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1：

Our doctor finally came in， saying that Noah had to be admitted to the hospital right now．　I was seized by fear and couldn't stop crying． Marty reassured me that he felt in his heart that Noah would be okay． We admitted Noah and were taken to his room right away． It was a tortuous day， filled with horrible tests that made my son's tiny little voice echo through the halls as he screamed over and over． Marty and I had prayer together with Noah． With tears streaming down his face， Marty humbly asked the Lord to heal our son． My heart was filled with comfort and gratitude．

Paragraph 2：

The next morning， a resident doctor came over to tell us that Noah just had a severe cold．　Noah would recover soon! Marty and I grinned at each other through our tears． By noon， Noah was already standing up in the hospital crib， bouncing like he was on a trampoline． My husband's talk with the Lord was already being answered． Finally， early in the night， our own doctor came in and told us that it was fine to take Noah home． We couldn't pack fast enough!

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，作者和他丈夫因为她们的孩子，一个聋哑小孩生病的一系列心理路程。

续写第一段开头为：我们的医生终于进来了，说Noah现在必须住进医院。…后面应该写担心孩子，祈祷上帝能够救治他等一系列的心理变化。

续写第二段开头为：第二天早上，一位住院医生走过来告诉我们Noah只是得了重感冒。…后面应该写我们非常开心，孩子很快就能出院回家。
