高二英语读后续写基础技巧与整体演练
技巧03 用“曲折”助力个人成长
读后续写中的故事续写除了要求学生掌握丰富的词汇和句式外,还要求学生具备内容构思和情节衔接的能力。凡是故事都应有起伏或矛盾冲突,其中的人物会遇到不同类型的困难,这些困难往往最终能得到解决。但情节设计不能过于复杂或离奇,否则读者(阅卷老师)不能 快速读懂你想表达的内容。而且往往文章中出现的矛盾是负面的,如何在接下来的续写中将“负”转为“正”就非常重要,有时候转“正”之后,同学们需要自己再次挖掘隐含内容,再转“负”,最后再转“正”。这就是同学们在进行读后续写写作时应该遵守的 曲折性原则。高考中的读后续写多倾向于弘扬真善美,宣扬正能量,因此这种“负”转 “正”的构思可以广泛运用于个人成长类的读后续写中。
【策略示例】
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 could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands.I felt the string of the package soft and then,unable to contain my curiosity any longer,I tore it open.It was a bright,brand new laptop.I had scored straight A's as for my O level examination and this was my reward.I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about“chat rooms”,“instant messaging”and“e-mailing”,all of which
I knew nothing about.Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough.I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site.Soon I became addicted to my new-found electronic friend. I began to spend more and more time on the Internet.I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be controlled entirely by the glowing screen before me.When- ever I was not glued to these social networking sites,I would be going through gossip or fashion websites.
As time passed,I realized that I was addicted to the Internet.During weekends,when I had more time on my hands,I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop.It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room,refusing to come out and take part in family discussions.I preferred to stay connected to the friends on the Internet,although I had never met them.Soon I was spending the whole hours of the morning surfing the Internet.
Sleep was reduced to small naps and my grades at school also began getting from bad to worse.

It was about this time that my parents noticed my change. They voiced their disapproval. It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internet.

Jim was walking down a dimly lit street late in the evening, hoping to see his lovely children as soon as possible. As he was walking quietly, Jim heard muffled (沉闷的) screams coming from behind some bushes. Alarmed (惊慌的), Jim stopped to listen carefully. He realized that what he was hearing was the unmistakable (清楚明白的) sound of a struggle. Thinking of the danger, he became frightened.
Only yards from where Jim stood, a girl was being attacked. Jim didn’t know what to do. Should he get involved in it? He was worried about his own safety. He was wondering whether he should just run to the nearest phone box and call the police or go to fight with the attacker (攻击者) to save the unknown girl.
As he suffered from inward struggles, the girl’s cries were growing weaker. Jim knew he had to act fast. Yet he knew he couldn’t just walk away from this. He realized that he could not turn his back on the fate (命运) of this unknown girl, even if it meant risking his own life.
Jim was not a brave man, nor was he athletic (健壮的). Even he himself didn’t quite know where he found the moral courage and physical strength. However, once he was determined to help the girl, he became strangely transformed (转变). He ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the girl, who panicked very much. Seeing Jim prevent him, the attacker became crazy and began to fight with him. Jim became fearless and then fell to the ground, where they wrestled (摔跤) for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped. Jim felt very tired and he couldn’t catch the attacker.

Isabel sat carefully inserting papers into a folder. She had been at the Nature Center's office all morning and was weary of filing the papers. She desperately wanted to work with the animals, especially the birds in the center. But her mom, who was the assistant director of the center, said Isabel was too young.
“I've been a weekend volunteer this whole school year. I know more about birds than almost anyone else here,” she said to herself, recalling the extensive research she had done while reading books on natural history. Then she sighed. She had never been good at speaking up for herself.
Suddenly, the quiet was shattered by Amy Jensen bursting in and letting the door slam. Isabel felt herself shrink. Amy, who had been a volunteer a bit longer than Isabel, walked around as if she were in charge of the place. “Hey, Isabel,” she barked, planting a hand on Isabel's shoulder. Isabel willed herself to remain still, though she would love to brush Amy's hand off.
Just then, Isabel's mother rushed into the room with Mr. Garza, the custodian (管理员). “The hurricane is entering the Gulf,” she reported. “The Gulf Shore Preserve needs help with preparing for the storm. I've got to go down there. You should be okay up here, but I need you girls to help Mr. Garza get the storm shutters closed in the aviary (鸟舍). Stay inside with Mr. Garza after that. ” Isabel leaped to her feet, excited to have an opportunity to help the birds.
Mr. Garza and the girls worked quickly and were soon back inside, listening to the wind batter and rattle the shutters. When Mr. Garza found an emergency weather report on the computer, a concerned expression crossed his face. “A storm is heading for our way,” he announced. Amy's eyes widened in horror.

Inhabiting a modest hamlet, the Meredith household found themselves amidst a period of economic downturn. During this time, a significant portion of the local populace faced unemployment, leading to widespread financial distress. Numerous families grappled with the daily struggle to sustain their livelihoods, and a sense of communal solidarity emerged as individuals endeavored to provide mutual support in the face of adversity.
Among the residents of this community, Mrs. Meredith stood out as an epitome of benevolence and consideration. She dedicated considerable hours to engaging with those less fortunate, acutely aware of their plights and the diverse forms of assistance they required. Whenever feasible, she would extend her aid by delivering provisions and medical supplies to those in need.
On a particular morning, Mrs. Meredith recounted to her offspring—John, Harry, and Clara—about a family she had encountered the previous day. The family was comprised of an indisposed patriarch confined to his bed, his spouse who, burdened with caregiving responsibilities, was unable to seek employment, and their young son. The boy, Bernard, had captured her interest significantly.
She expressed a desire for her children to witness Bernard’s situation, highlighting his role as a significant support to his mother and his earnest desire to contribute financially, despite the apparent lack of opportunities.
Once their mother departed, the siblings convened, contemplating Bernard’s predicament. Clara voiced her empathy, wishing to facilitate his financial independence, acknowledging the profound hardship endured by his family.
Echoing her sentiments, Harry concurred, emphasizing the necessity of devising a strategy to alleviate their plight.
Initially silent, John eventually rose abruptly, exclaiming his inspiration. He proclaimed the conception of a plan that could be collaboratively executed to aid Bernard.
His siblings, intrigued, eagerly awaited his proposal. John’s ideas were renowned for their ingenuity, and he proposed, “Consider the substantial crate of maize that Uncle John bestowed upon us. We could transform it into popcorn, package it in paper sacks, and empower Bernard to distribute and vend it throughout the neighborhood.”

It started with a phone call from my son, Nate. “Mom, there’s a dog here. She needs help. She’s lost, hungry and afraid of people. Nobody can catch her. We tried, but she runs.
I bet you can catch her. Please?” My teenage son’s dramatic plea (恳求) came from a visitor center where he volunteered.
“Not now,” I objected. I love dogs, but at that moment I did not want to take on another project.
“Can you please just take a look at her when you come pick me up?” He had confidence in my abilities.
When I arrived to pick Nate up, I found the dog he described. Her state was bad with all the diseases in a stray dog. She watched us cautiously, her tail giving the occasional hopeful wag before retreating between her legs as she shied away from any approach. Her eyes, however, were warm and pleading. She wanted to connect but she was afraid.
Many years of working with all kinds of distressed animals had hardened my heart. I thought of a thousand reasons why I could not take a dirty dog home. I wanted to get a dog that I could use as a therapy (治疗) dog. I could see that this sad dog was not therapy dog material. Therapy dogs connect to people in ways that can understand human better. I turned and walked away.
I convinced Nate to wait a few days to see if the dog’s owner would magically appear. Secretly, I was expecting the dog would disappear. But she didn’t.
A friend with a small animal rescue shelter took her for quarantine (检疫) and treatment. I knew she was safe but the dog’s eyes haunted me. That longing look kept returning to my mind, pleading for connection. After a couple of weeks, I gave in and brought the dog home with me. She was quickly accepted by other dogs in my home. Cleaned up and fed, she looked like a short and strong Border Collie (博得牧羊犬) with gold and white fur. I named her Leala.

The box of crayons was filled with an assortment of colors. On a gloomy rainy day, they quarreled because every color in the box thought it was the most important.
The blue colors, from the very light to the very deep, grouped together and said, “We are the most important. Without us, there would be no clear sky above, no water in the oceans, no bluebirds singing about happiness, or beautiful bluebells swaying gently in the garden. That is why blue is the most important color.”
The green crayons disagreed. From shades of the pales t moss to vivid chartreuse, they insisted green was the most important. “Without us, there would be no grass in the parks, no plants to grow food, no leaves on the trees, no Statue of Liberty! So naturally, green is the most important color.”
The reds and oranges got fired up. “Without us,” they argued, “there would be no excitement! We are the shades you see when molten lava erupts from the volcano. We are the gentle beauty of romantic sunsets at dusk and the inspiring morning sunrises taking your breath away! There is no doubt that we are the most important.”
The brown and black shades had their say. “We are darker and more plain, to be sure,” they agreed. “But we are the colors of the earth. Without the brown and black soil, you couldn’t grow crops. Surely without us, you couldn’t build a home to live in nor have wood for your fireplace!”
“Don’t forget us!” The pinks, purples and yellows piped up. “We are the colors of wild imagination! Without us there would be no unicorns(独角兽)or princesses or sweet daydreams. We are the bright hues of happiness, of cotton candy, of dollhouses. We are the most important because children need us!” The other crayons did not know what to do. For a moment, they all fell silent.

In the tapestry of my educational journey, I have been graced with the presence of numerous exemplary educators. Yet, one figure emerges with unparalleled prominence—Karl Chip. My encounter with him commenced during the twilight of my high school years as I pondered the halls of academia that awaited me. Chip was the unsolicited envoy for Wellesley College, a beacon for aspiring scholars and athletes alike.
Under Chip’s mentorship, there existed a diverse array of young individuals, each categorized into distinct archetypes. The “academic star type,” those paragons of scholastic achievement seeking only a modest nudge in the right direction. The “international transplant type,” young souls who traversed vast distances to immerse themselves in the New England ethos, yearning for a compass to navigate their new surroundings. The “geniuses of economics type,” to whom Chip was a guarantor of commendations and a conduit to prestigious opportunities. And then, there were the “scratch and dent kids,” those carrying with them the invisible scars of life’s challenges, brimming with latent potential yet grappling with the art of decision-making. If you bore the dual mantle of an athlete and a “scratch and dent kid,” falling under Chip’s influence was an inescapable destiny.
I count myself among the ranks of Chip’s proteges, classified as one of the “scratch and dent kids.” Yet, irrespective of the mold we fit, each of us was showered with an equal measure of sagacity, affection, solace, and consideration. My narrative is but a single thread in the rich tapestry of Chip’s impact on his multitude of students.
When I first set foot in Wellesley College a quarter of a century ago, I was an unseasoned athlete, my self-assurance as fragile as a fledgling’s first flight. As my tenure at the institution drew to a close, I stood tall, my confidence restored—undoubtedly, a transformation that made me a more well-rounded individual. Much of this metamorphosis I attribute to Chip and his unwavering dedication to my growth and that of my fellow students.
The genesis of this transformation? Athletics played a pivotal role. The lore surrounding Chip’s basketball team of the 1990s is one of remarkable resurgence. A team that, during the 1989-1990 season, was marred by the sting of defeat, claiming victory only twice amidst a sea of twenty losses. Yet, in the span of two years, and largely due to Chip’s unyielding encouragement and belief in our capabilities, we ascended to claim a championship of note, our ledger for that year a stark contrast to our previous struggles, boasting twenty-four triumphs and a mere two setbacks.

On a particularly frigid day in the not-so-distant past, in the city of Edinburgh, I found myself positioned at the entrance of a lodging establishment. A young lad, his visage pale and tinged with a blue hue from the cold, his feet exposed and flushed with the chill, and clad in nothing more than a collection of tattered garments, approached and implored, "Kind sir, I beseech you, procure some lucifer matches." "No, I have no need for them," replied one of the distinguished men present. "But they are merely a single penny per container," the impoverished youth insisted. "Indeed, yet I must reiterate, I am not in search of a container," I reiterated. "Then I shall bestow upon you a pair of containers for the price of one penny," the boy proposed.
Ultimately, I resolved to purchase a container, primarily to dismiss him. Upon realizing I lacked the appropriate currency for the transaction, I addressed him thusly, "I shall acquire a container on the morrow." "Oh, I implore you, purchase them this very night," the boy beseeched once more, "I shall hasten to procure the necessary currency, for I am afflicted with hunger." Thus, I tendered him the shilling, and he departed. I remained in anticipation of his return, yet he did not appear. I surmised I had forfeited my shilling. Nevertheless, there was an aspect of the boy's countenance that inspired trust, and I was loath to harbor ill thoughts of him.
As the evening drew to a close, I was informed that a young boy desired an audience with me. Upon his arrival, I discerned that it was a younger sibling of the boy who had received my shilling. He stood for a brief interval, delving into his ragged attire as though in search of an object, and then inquired, "Are you the nobleman who purchased the matches from Sandy?" "Indeed," I confirmed. "In that case, here are four pence from your shilling. Sandy is unable to come. He is in a dire state of health. A carriage struck him and prostrated him to the ground. He forfeited his cap, matches, and seven pence of your currency. Both his lower limbs were fractured, and the physician has declared that his demise is imminent. My brother and I exist in a state of near solitude, for our progenitors have departed this life."

8.In a quaint hamlet, there resides an elderly gentleman by the name of Mr. Benson. He dwells in solitude, marked by a prominent facial scar that lends him an air of intimidation. Consequently, the townsfolk seldom engage in conversation with him, and he is often left to manage the arduous task of carrying his belongings up the steep stairs to his residence unaided.
Mr. Benson is devoid of companionship and has never been wed. However, a change is afoot in the community when a new family, the Clarences, relocates to the area. This family is composed of the amiable Mr. and Mrs. Clarence, along with their offspring, Amanda and David. They settle into the very edifice that houses Mr. Benson.
The existing residents of the building extend a warm welcome to the newcomers, greeting Amanda and David with kindness, but they caution them against interacting with Mr. Benson. They describe him as a formidable elder with an enigmatic scar, devoid of social connections.
Despite this, the Clarences find such admonitions to be nonsensical. Whenever they encounter Mr. Benson in the corridors of their building or on the street, they greet him with a friendly smile and inquire about his well-being.
Mr. Benson is immensely pleased by their approach. He extends an open invitation to the Clarences to visit his home, even offering Amanda and David some delectable cupcakes as a token of his appreciation.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence frequently assist Mr. Benson with his shopping, and the children, Amanda and David, enjoy spending time with him, sipping tea and listening to his enchanting tales. It turns out that Mr. Benson was once a renowned chef, capable of crafting the most exquisite desserts, as per Amanda’s discerning palate.
One evening, the residents of the building are startled by the sounds of merriment, clinking crockery, and the clatter of cutlery emanating from Mr. Benson’s apartment. This unusual commotion piques their curiosity, as it suggests a convivial gathering. The neighbors are left to ponder why they have not been included in what appears to be a delightful repast.

Monty was the son of a horse trainer. Like his father, the young boy would go from stable to stable, farm to farm and ranch (大牧场) to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about who he wanted to be and what he wanted to do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the tracks. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. Much to his surprise, on the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.” The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor horse trainer family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock (良种畜) and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”

Kristin Beale could easily have fallen into self-pity. Instead, she used life-changing injuries to fuel her creativity.
In August 2015, at the age of 18, Beale suffered a Jet Ski (水上摩托车) accident on Lake Gaston, along the Virginia-North Carolina border. She and a schoolmate were riding a Jet Sk when another ran over them, hitting Beale. She suffered a spinal cord (脊髓) injury.
Prior to the accident, Beale was an active student at college, involved in competition cheerleading and hockey. Afterwards, she had to relearn how to perform daily tasks. “When was in the hospital, doctors told my parents I would be a vegetable, and that I wouldn’t be able to breathe or swallow. I wanted to disprove everything they had on their list,” Beal said. “I told my parents, ‘I am going to work and do this.’”
Her parents discovered a facility in California for people fighting with spinal cord injuries and flew Beale there to spend four hours a day for more than a month relearning tasks and strengthening her muscles. She traveled to California nine times to work on her recovery.
To process her thoughts, Beale began writing about her experiences. By the time she finished, she had written 32 stories. She eventually gathered them into her first nonfiction book about how people react to her and how she has overcome her injuries and stays positive. “I never thought it would become a book, but that’s how it all started,” Beale said.
After the accident, her disability affected her life in some way, especially after her graduation. “For whatever reason, all my dates were bad.” she said. “Each meeting was disability-centered dating.

高二英语读后续写基础技巧与整体演练
技巧03 用“曲折”助力个人成长
读后续写中的故事续写除了要求学生掌握丰富的词汇和句式外,还要求学生具备内容构思和情节衔接的能力。凡是故事都应有起伏或矛盾冲突,其中的人物会遇到不同类型的困难,这些困难往往最终能得到解决。但情节设计不能过于复杂或离奇,否则读者(阅卷老师)不能 快速读懂你想表达的内容。而且往往文章中出现的矛盾是负面的,如何在接下来的续写中将“负”转为“正”就非常重要,有时候转“正”之后,同学们需要自己再次挖掘隐含内容,再转“负”,最后再转“正”。这就是同学们在进行读后续写写作时应该遵守的 曲折性原则。高考中的读后续写多倾向于弘扬真善美,宣扬正能量,因此这种“负”转 “正”的构思可以广泛运用于个人成长类的读后续写中。
【策略示例】
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 could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands.I felt the string of the package soft and then,unable to contain my curiosity any longer,I tore it open.It was a bright,brand new laptop.I had scored straight A's as for my O level examination and this was my reward.I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about“chat rooms”,“instant messaging”and“e-mailing”,all of which
I knew nothing about.Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough.I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site.Soon I became addicted to my new-found electronic friend. I began to spend more and more time on the Internet.I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be controlled entirely by the glowing screen before me.When- ever I was not glued to these social networking sites,I would be going through gossip or fashion websites.
As time passed,I realized that I was addicted to the Internet.During weekends,when I had more time on my hands,I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop.It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room,refusing to come out and take part in family discussions.I preferred to stay connected to the friends on the Internet,although I had never met them.Soon I was spending the whole hours of the morning surfing the Internet.
Sleep was reduced to small naps and my grades at school also began getting from bad to worse.

Jim was walking down a dimly lit street late in the evening, hoping to see his lovely children as soon as possible. As he was walking quietly, Jim heard muffled (沉闷的) screams coming from behind some bushes. Alarmed (惊慌的), Jim stopped to listen carefully. He realized that what he was hearing was the unmistakable (清楚明白的) sound of a struggle. Thinking of the danger, he became frightened.
Only yards from where Jim stood, a girl was being attacked. Jim didn’t know what to do. Should he get involved in it? He was worried about his own safety. He was wondering whether he should just run to the nearest phone box and call the police or go to fight with the attacker (攻击者) to save the unknown girl.
As he suffered from inward struggles, the girl’s cries were growing weaker. Jim knew he had to act fast. Yet he knew he couldn’t just walk away from this. He realized that he could not turn his back on the fate (命运) of this unknown girl, even if it meant risking his own life.
Jim was not a brave man, nor was he athletic (健壮的). Even he himself didn’t quite know where he found the moral courage and physical strength. However, once he was determined to help the girl, he became strangely transformed (转变). He ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the girl, who panicked very much. Seeing Jim prevent him, the attacker became crazy and began to fight with him. Jim became fearless and then fell to the ground, where they wrestled (摔跤) for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped. Jim felt very tired and he couldn’t catch the attacker.

Isabel sat carefully inserting papers into a folder. She had been at the Nature Center's office all morning and was weary of filing the papers. She desperately wanted to work with the animals, especially the birds in the center. But her mom, who was the assistant director of the center, said Isabel was too young.
“I've been a weekend volunteer this whole school year. I know more about birds than almost anyone else here,” she said to herself, recalling the extensive research she had done while reading books on natural history. Then she sighed. She had never been good at speaking up for herself.
Suddenly, the quiet was shattered by Amy Jensen bursting in and letting the door slam. Isabel felt herself shrink. Amy, who had been a volunteer a bit longer than Isabel, walked around as if she were in charge of the place. “Hey, Isabel,” she barked, planting a hand on Isabel's shoulder. Isabel willed herself to remain still, though she would love to brush Amy's hand off.
Just then, Isabel's mother rushed into the room with Mr. Garza, the custodian (管理员). “The hurricane is entering the Gulf,” she reported. “The Gulf Shore Preserve needs help with preparing for the storm. I've got to go down there. You should be okay up here, but I need you girls to help Mr. Garza get the storm shutters closed in the aviary (鸟舍). Stay inside with Mr. Garza after that. ” Isabel leaped to her feet, excited to have an opportunity to help the birds.
Mr. Garza and the girls worked quickly and were soon back inside, listening to the wind batter and rattle the shutters. When Mr. Garza found an emergency weather report on the computer, a concerned expression crossed his face. “A storm is heading for our way,” he announced. Amy's eyes widened in horror.

Inhabiting a modest hamlet, the Meredith household found themselves amidst a period of economic downturn. During this time, a significant portion of the local populace faced unemployment, leading to widespread financial distress. Numerous families grappled with the daily struggle to sustain their livelihoods, and a sense of communal solidarity emerged as individuals endeavored to provide mutual support in the face of adversity.
Among the residents of this community, Mrs. Meredith stood out as an epitome of benevolence and consideration. She dedicated considerable hours to engaging with those less fortunate, acutely aware of their plights and the diverse forms of assistance they required. Whenever feasible, she would extend her aid by delivering provisions and medical supplies to those in need.
On a particular morning, Mrs. Meredith recounted to her offspring—John, Harry, and Clara—about a family she had encountered the previous day. The family was comprised of an indisposed patriarch confined to his bed, his spouse who, burdened with caregiving responsibilities, was unable to seek employment, and their young son. The boy, Bernard, had captured her interest significantly.
She expressed a desire for her children to witness Bernard’s situation, highlighting his role as a significant support to his mother and his earnest desire to contribute financially, despite the apparent lack of opportunities.
Once their mother departed, the siblings convened, contemplating Bernard’s predicament. Clara voiced her empathy, wishing to facilitate his financial independence, acknowledging the profound hardship endured by his family.
Echoing her sentiments, Harry concurred, emphasizing the necessity of devising a strategy to alleviate their plight.
Initially silent, John eventually rose abruptly, exclaiming his inspiration. He proclaimed the conception of a plan that could be collaboratively executed to aid Bernard.
His siblings, intrigued, eagerly awaited his proposal. John’s ideas were renowned for their ingenuity, and he proposed, “Consider the substantial crate of maize that Uncle John bestowed upon us. We could transform it into popcorn, package it in paper sacks, and empower Bernard to distribute and vend it throughout the neighborhood.”

It started with a phone call from my son, Nate. “Mom, there’s a dog here. She needs help. She’s lost, hungry and afraid of people. Nobody can catch her. We tried, but she runs.
I bet you can catch her. Please?” My teenage son’s dramatic plea (恳求) came from a visitor center where he volunteered.
“Not now,” I objected. I love dogs, but at that moment I did not want to take on another project.
“Can you please just take a look at her when you come pick me up?” He had confidence in my abilities.
When I arrived to pick Nate up, I found the dog he described. Her state was bad with all the diseases in a stray dog. She watched us cautiously, her tail giving the occasional hopeful wag before retreating between her legs as she shied away from any approach. Her eyes, however, were warm and pleading. She wanted to connect but she was afraid.
Many years of working with all kinds of distressed animals had hardened my heart. I thought of a thousand reasons why I could not take a dirty dog home. I wanted to get a dog that I could use as a therapy (治疗) dog. I could see that this sad dog was not therapy dog material. Therapy dogs connect to people in ways that can understand human better. I turned and walked away.
I convinced Nate to wait a few days to see if the dog’s owner would magically appear. Secretly, I was expecting the dog would disappear. But she didn’t.
A friend with a small animal rescue shelter took her for quarantine (检疫) and treatment. I knew she was safe but the dog’s eyes haunted me. That longing look kept returning to my mind, pleading for connection. After a couple of weeks, I gave in and brought the dog home with me. She was quickly accepted by other dogs in my home. Cleaned up and fed, she looked like a short and strong Border Collie (博得牧羊犬) with gold and white fur. I named her Leala.

The box of crayons was filled with an assortment of colors. On a gloomy rainy day, they quarreled because every color in the box thought it was the most important.
The blue colors, from the very light to the very deep, grouped together and said, “We are the most important. Without us, there would be no clear sky above, no water in the oceans, no bluebirds singing about happiness, or beautiful bluebells swaying gently in the garden. That is why blue is the most important color.”
The green crayons disagreed. From shades of the pales t moss to vivid chartreuse, they insisted green was the most important. “Without us, there would be no grass in the parks, no plants to grow food, no leaves on the trees, no Statue of Liberty! So naturally, green is the most important color.”
The reds and oranges got fired up. “Without us,” they argued, “there would be no excitement! We are the shades you see when molten lava erupts from the volcano. We are the gentle beauty of romantic sunsets at dusk and the inspiring morning sunrises taking your breath away! There is no doubt that we are the most important.”
The brown and black shades had their say. “We are darker and more plain, to be sure,” they agreed. “But we are the colors of the earth. Without the brown and black soil, you couldn’t grow crops. Surely without us, you couldn’t build a home to live in nor have wood for your fireplace!”
“Don’t forget us!” The pinks, purples and yellows piped up. “We are the colors of wild imagination! Without us there would be no unicorns(独角兽)or princesses or sweet daydreams. We are the bright hues of happiness, of cotton candy, of dollhouses. We are the most important because children need us!” The other crayons did not know what to do. For a moment, they all fell silent.

In the tapestry of my educational journey, I have been graced with the presence of numerous exemplary educators. Yet, one figure emerges with unparalleled prominence—Karl Chip. My encounter with him commenced during the twilight of my high school years as I pondered the halls of academia that awaited me. Chip was the unsolicited envoy for Wellesley College, a beacon for aspiring scholars and athletes alike.
Under Chip’s mentorship, there existed a diverse array of young individuals, each categorized into distinct archetypes. The “academic star type,” those paragons of scholastic achievement seeking only a modest nudge in the right direction. The “international transplant type,” young souls who traversed vast distances to immerse themselves in the New England ethos, yearning for a compass to navigate their new surroundings. The “geniuses of economics type,” to whom Chip was a guarantor of commendations and a conduit to prestigious opportunities. And then, there were the “scratch and dent kids,” those carrying with them the invisible scars of life’s challenges, brimming with latent potential yet grappling with the art of decision-making. If you bore the dual mantle of an athlete and a “scratch and dent kid,” falling under Chip’s influence was an inescapable destiny.
I count myself among the ranks of Chip’s proteges, classified as one of the “scratch and dent kids.” Yet, irrespective of the mold we fit, each of us was showered with an equal measure of sagacity, affection, solace, and consideration. My narrative is but a single thread in the rich tapestry of Chip’s impact on his multitude of students.
When I first set foot in Wellesley College a quarter of a century ago, I was an unseasoned athlete, my self-assurance as fragile as a fledgling’s first flight. As my tenure at the institution drew to a close, I stood tall, my confidence restored—undoubtedly, a transformation that made me a more well-rounded individual. Much of this metamorphosis I attribute to Chip and his unwavering dedication to my growth and that of my fellow students.
The genesis of this transformation? Athletics played a pivotal role. The lore surrounding Chip’s basketball team of the 1990s is one of remarkable resurgence. A team that, during the 1989-1990 season, was marred by the sting of defeat, claiming victory only twice amidst a sea of twenty losses. Yet, in the span of two years, and largely due to Chip’s unyielding encouragement and belief in our capabilities, we ascended to claim a championship of note, our ledger for that year a stark contrast to our previous struggles, boasting twenty-four triumphs and a mere two setbacks.

On a particularly frigid day in the not-so-distant past, in the city of Edinburgh, I found myself positioned at the entrance of a lodging establishment. A young lad, his visage pale and tinged with a blue hue from the cold, his feet exposed and flushed with the chill, and clad in nothing more than a collection of tattered garments, approached and implored, "Kind sir, I beseech you, procure some lucifer matches." "No, I have no need for them," replied one of the distinguished men present. "But they are merely a single penny per container," the impoverished youth insisted. "Indeed, yet I must reiterate, I am not in search of a container," I reiterated. "Then I shall bestow upon you a pair of containers for the price of one penny," the boy proposed.
Ultimately, I resolved to purchase a container, primarily to dismiss him. Upon realizing I lacked the appropriate currency for the transaction, I addressed him thusly, "I shall acquire a container on the morrow." "Oh, I implore you, purchase them this very night," the boy beseeched once more, "I shall hasten to procure the necessary currency, for I am afflicted with hunger." Thus, I tendered him the shilling, and he departed. I remained in anticipation of his return, yet he did not appear. I surmised I had forfeited my shilling. Nevertheless, there was an aspect of the boy's countenance that inspired trust, and I was loath to harbor ill thoughts of him.
As the evening drew to a close, I was informed that a young boy desired an audience with me. Upon his arrival, I discerned that it was a younger sibling of the boy who had received my shilling. He stood for a brief interval, delving into his ragged attire as though in search of an object, and then inquired, "Are you the nobleman who purchased the matches from Sandy?" "Indeed," I confirmed. "In that case, here are four pence from your shilling. Sandy is unable to come. He is in a dire state of health. A carriage struck him and prostrated him to the ground. He forfeited his cap, matches, and seven pence of your currency. Both his lower limbs were fractured, and the physician has declared that his demise is imminent. My brother and I exist in a state of near solitude, for our progenitors have departed this life."

8.In a quaint hamlet, there resides an elderly gentleman by the name of Mr. Benson. He dwells in solitude, marked by a prominent facial scar that lends him an air of intimidation. Consequently, the townsfolk seldom engage in conversation with him, and he is often left to manage the arduous task of carrying his belongings up the steep stairs to his residence unaided.
Mr. Benson is devoid of companionship and has never been wed. However, a change is afoot in the community when a new family, the Clarences, relocates to the area. This family is composed of the amiable Mr. and Mrs. Clarence, along with their offspring, Amanda and David. They settle into the very edifice that houses Mr. Benson.
The existing residents of the building extend a warm welcome to the newcomers, greeting Amanda and David with kindness, but they caution them against interacting with Mr. Benson. They describe him as a formidable elder with an enigmatic scar, devoid of social connections.
Despite this, the Clarences find such admonitions to be nonsensical. Whenever they encounter Mr. Benson in the corridors of their building or on the street, they greet him with a friendly smile and inquire about his well-being.
Mr. Benson is immensely pleased by their approach. He extends an open invitation to the Clarences to visit his home, even offering Amanda and David some delectable cupcakes as a token of his appreciation.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence frequently assist Mr. Benson with his shopping, and the children, Amanda and David, enjoy spending time with him, sipping tea and listening to his enchanting tales. It turns out that Mr. Benson was once a renowned chef, capable of crafting the most exquisite desserts, as per Amanda’s discerning palate.
One evening, the residents of the building are startled by the sounds of merriment, clinking crockery, and the clatter of cutlery emanating from Mr. Benson’s apartment. This unusual commotion piques their curiosity, as it suggests a convivial gathering. The neighbors are left to ponder why they have not been included in what appears to be a delightful repast.

Monty was the son of a horse trainer. Like his father, the young boy would go from stable to stable, farm to farm and ranch (大牧场) to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about who he wanted to be and what he wanted to do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the tracks. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. Much to his surprise, on the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.” The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor horse trainer family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock (良种畜) and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”

Kristin Beale could easily have fallen into self-pity. Instead, she used life-changing injuries to fuel her creativity.
In August 2015, at the age of 18, Beale suffered a Jet Ski (水上摩托车) accident on Lake Gaston, along the Virginia-North Carolina border. She and a schoolmate were riding a Jet Sk when another ran over them, hitting Beale. She suffered a spinal cord (脊髓) injury.
Prior to the accident, Beale was an active student at college, involved in competition cheerleading and hockey. Afterwards, she had to relearn how to perform daily tasks. “When was in the hospital, doctors told my parents I would be a vegetable, and that I wouldn’t be able to breathe or swallow. I wanted to disprove everything they had on their list,” Beal said. “I told my parents, ‘I am going to work and do this.’”
Her parents discovered a facility in California for people fighting with spinal cord injuries and flew Beale there to spend four hours a day for more than a month relearning tasks and strengthening her muscles. She traveled to California nine times to work on her recovery.
To process her thoughts, Beale began writing about her experiences. By the time she finished, she had written 32 stories. She eventually gathered them into her first nonfiction book about how people react to her and how she has overcome her injuries and stays positive. “I never thought it would become a book, but that’s how it all started,” Beale said.
After the accident, her disability affected her life in some way, especially after her graduation. “For whatever reason, all my dates were bad.” she said. “Each meeting was disability-centered dating. It didn’t feel like dating; it felt like interviewing about my disability. I would open up on the dates and then never see them again. It happened over and over.” Fortunately, Beale has the distinct ability to turn everything about her into humorous and creative ones by writing books.

Watching the attacker run into the darkness, Jim thought of the girl. Breathing hard, Jim rose from the ground and walked towards her. The girl was sitting behind the bushes, sobbing. Although in the darkness Jim could hardly see the girl clearly, he could certainly sense her trembling with fear. Not wanting to frighten the girl further, Jim at first spoke to her from a distance. Jim said soothingly that the attacker had run away and she was safe. There was a long pause and then he heard some words from the girl.
“Dad, is that you?” asked the girl in wonder and amazement as she walked from behind the bushes. To Jim’s shock, there stood Jim’s youngest daughter, who began crying. Hugging his daughter, Jim also cried. After the police arrived, they told them something about the attacker in detail. He felt it was a right decision to rush to fight with the attacker. Now in his daughter’s eyes, Jim is a brave man and a hero without fearing any danger.

Then the color gray broke the silence. “You know,” she said in a low voice, “I’m kind of smoky and faded which makes me far from the most vivid color in the box. Sure, I am not the blue of the sea, the green of the hills, the red in the sunrise, the brown of a mighty oak, the black of the fertile earth, or the purple of childhood dreams.” She continued, “But I’m the color of the steels which represent the backbone of industry!” She paused to look at the crayons. “But I firmly believe we are the same! Please look there! See?”
Following her words, they looked outside and found that the rain had stopped. Surprised and delighted, they saw a beautiful rainbow appearing in the sky. They couldn’t help but praise, “How beautiful!” All of a sudden they found themselves in the rainbow.

The other part was academics. It was a realm where my confidence lagged even further behind. The halls of Wellesley echoed with the whispers of intellectual prowess, and I often felt dwarfed by the towering expectations. Yet, Chip’s guidance transformed those daunting lecture halls into arenas of discovery. He patiently dissected complex theories, weaving them into narratives that ignited my curiosity. His encouragement to question and explore beyond textbooks nurtured a thirst for knowledge within me. Moreover, he recognized my struggles and tailored his support, ensuring I never felt lost in the sea of academic rigor. Slowly but surely, my academic journey blossomed under his watchful eye, mirroring the transformation in my athletic pursuits.
Chip passed away after a long illness last year, leaving behind a legacy that transcends time. His absence is a void in the hearts of countless students, including mine, where he planted seeds of resilience, passion, and unwavering belief in oneself. Even now, as I reflect on my journey, I can hear his voice echoing in the chambers of my mind, urging me to strive, to dream, and to never give up. Chip’s life was a testament to the profound impact one individual can have on the lives of others. Though he may be physically gone, his spirit lives on through the countless stories of success and triumph shared by those he touched. He remains a beacon of light, guiding us through life’s challenges, reminding us that with the right mentor and an unyielding spirit, anything is possible.

I fed the little fellow, and then went with him to see Sandy. Poor Sandy was lying on a bundle of shavings. The moment I went into the poor house, he recognized me. Weak as he was, he still struggled to sit up. Seeing this, I rushed to him and patted him on the shoulder. He looked up at me with tears in his eyes. With difficulty he murmured," I’m sure I’m dying, and who will take care of my little brother?" Sad tears streamed down the cheeks.
Then I took him by the hand, and said," I would always take care of your little brother." On hearing of my words, he was so surprised that he froze with his mouth wide open.

In fact, Beale didn’t start dating to get material for a book. She loved to meet people, go out and do things. Eventually, it turned into, “How can I turn a waste of time and hurt feelings into something good? Why not try to find humor in something that is not really funny.” Therefore, she drew comics about her dates’ reactions to her wheelchair-bound status. And her second book—a collection of comics coming from unsuccessful dates—was completed.
Shortly after her second book was published, Beale built a happy family. She met her husband in 2021 when she found him sitting in her seat at a church service—they usually attended different services. It was a great encounter. “He was an attractive man,” she said. “He came to my small group at church two weeks later.” After that, they started dating and got married one year later. The most exciting thing was that this couple recently welcomed their son. Everyone around Beale felt overjoyed for her.
