读后续写：节日的真谛 讲义 续写题目 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。 It was the late 1930s, and things were tough.Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our  small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would tuck a new piece ofcardboard in our shoes, because our soles(鞋底)were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.  Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.  Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, shoveling snow, and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair ofboots. Boots that weren’t patched, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars. Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights anddecorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas goodies. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad. Paragraph 1:  As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan.  Paragraph 2:  Withgreat excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. 续写答案 Para
