2024届湖南省高三九校联盟第二次联考英语读后续写--我的金色夹克 讲义

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。 The school that I went to had a tradition during the eighth-grade graduation: a scholarship(奖学金) jacket was awarded to the student who had kept the highest grades for eight years, with his/her name written in gold letters on the pocket. I had been a straight A student since the first grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. One day, close to graduation, I happened to overhear a conversation between my teachers, knowing that this year the scholarship jacket might go to Joann, whose father was on the Board(董事会). I went home very sad and cried into my pillow that night. The next day when the headmaster called me into his office, I knew what it would be about. He looked uncomfortable and unhappy. I decided I wasn’t going to make it any easier for him, so I looked him straight in the eyes. He looked away and kept toying nervously with the pen on his desk. “Martha,” he said, “there’s been a change in policy this year regarding the scholarship jacket. As you know, it has always been free.” He cleared his throat and continued, “This year the Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the jacket.” Fifteen dollars! I knew it was just an excuse. And I also knew what it meant to my poor family. My father was a farmer who couldn’t earn enough money to feed eight children, so when I was six, I was given to my grandparents to raise. I stared at him in shock. He still avoided looking in my eyes. “So if you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars, it will be given to the next one in line.” I didn’t need to ask who that was. Standing with all my dignity(尊严), I said, “I’ll speak to my grandfather about it, sir, and let you know tomorrow.” I cried all the way back home, so by the time I got home my eyes were red and puffy. 续写提示： I approached Grandpa, who was working in the bean field. ...... I dragged into the headmaster's office the next day. ...... 大背景： “我”所在学校有一个庆祝学术成就的传统：八年级成绩最优秀的学生将被授予一件象征荣誉的金绿色夹克。“我”
