读后续写----幸运的两美元：母亲的遗愿与我的成长 讲义-重庆市长寿区2023-2024学年下学期高二期末检测卷（B）英语试题

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。 I keep a two-dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old. I still remember the day when she pulled me into the living room and said, “You are brilliant in my mind, but if you fail once don’t give up. Don’t fear failure. It is a way of getting us to try harder. You will succeed, I promise.” She looked at me and continued, “I want you to carry this two-dollar bill for extra good luck.” “Thanks mom,” I replied. “I will keep it close to me always.” I am not superstitious (迷信的), but from that day on the bill goes with me wherever I go. I firmly believe that luck would follow me everywhere. Every morning I would get dressed and my two-dollar bill went into my pocket. My mother passed away when I was 17 years old and I remember taking out my two-dollar bill. I held it in my hand for the longest time and knew that she would be watching over me the rest of my life. Each time I felt I had a crisis on my hands, I would reach for my two-dollar bill and set it on the table. I would stare at it for several hours and could always come up with a solution. When I applied for my first job, I was thirty years old and very shy. The thought of being interviewed for a job was scary but I had to work. On my first interview, as I sat in the waiting room, I noticed there were five women ahead of me. All of the women were younger and very well dressed. One of them looked perfect in her blue striped suit with matching purse and shoes. I knew I was up against women better qualified by looking at the length of their resumes (简历). 注意： (1) 续写词数应为 150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： Mrs. Martin, the office manager, called me into her office. _________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2： Late that afternoon, while I was cooking, the telephone rang. _________________________________________________________________ 文章梗概： 这篇文章讲述了作者从母亲那里继承了一张两美元纸币的故事。母亲告诉他，即使失败也不要放弃，要勇敢尝试，好运会随之而来。作者将这张纸币视为幸运符，随身携带。即使母亲去世后，作者依然感受到她的守护和鼓励。每当遇到困难，作者都会拿出这张纸币，从中找到解决问题的勇气和智慧。文章的高潮是作者在面试第一份工作时，面对众多年轻且着装得体的竞争者感到紧张，但最终凭借自己的故事和母亲的鼓舞，成功获得了工作机会。这张两美元纸币不仅是作者与母亲之间的纽带，也是他面对生活挑战时的精神支柱。 在原文中，有几处伏笔为续写部分提供了线索和回应的基础： 幸运符的伏笔：母亲给作者的两美元纸币，称其为“extra good luck”，这预示了纸币在作者生活中的重要性和象征意义。 母亲的鼓励和智慧：母亲的话语“Don’t fear failure. It is a way of getting us to try harder.

She asked me a series of questions and the interview was over. As I exited her office, I turned around and said, “Mrs. Martin, I know that I am not qualified like your other applicants but please give me a chance. I learn quickly and can be a very productive member of your team.” I thanked her and went home exhausted. Oh well, I thought tomorrow would be another day. Late that afternoon, while I was cooking, the telephone rang. It was from Mrs. Martin Gina. She said, “you were not the most qualified applicant, but you have so much confidence in yourself that we decided to give you a chance to prove yourself.” I screamed out loud, jumping all over the room in disbelief. I could hear Mrs. Martin laughing in the background and suddenly I realized that Mrs. Martin was still on the line. “Thank you Mrs. Martin, you will not regret this decision,” I said and hung up the phone. 下水文1 Paragraph 1： Mrs. Martin, the office manager, called me into her office. My heart was pounding as I walked in, clutching my worn-out resume. The room was silent except for the ticking clock on the wall. I sat down across from her, my eyes fixed on the two-dollar bill in my hand. "Tell me about yourself," she said with a warm smile that eased my nerves. I began to share my story, the words flowing more confidently as I went on. I spoke of my mother's wisdom, the lessons of perseverance, and the lucky two-dollar bill that had become my talisman. There was a moment of silence when I finished, and then Mrs. Martin nodded, "I like your spirit. We need someone like you on our team." Paragraph 2： Late that afternoon, while I was cooking, the telephone rang. I wiped my hands on a towel and picked up the receiver, my heart racing with anticipation. It was Mrs. Martin. "We'd like to offer you the position," she said, and I could hear the smile in her voice. I felt a surge of joy and relief. Hanging up the phone, I looked at the two-dollar bill pinned on the fridge, a symbol of my mother's enduring love and guidance. I whispered a thank you to her memory, knowing she was with me in spirit. As I returned to my cooking, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and gratitude, the two-dollar bill a constant reminder that with courage and determination, one can overcome any challenge. 下水文2 Paragraph 1： Mrs. Martin, the office manager, called me into her office. With a deep breath, I entered, the two-dollar bill folded neatly in my pocket, a silent reminder of my mother's encouragement. Her office was filled with the scent of lavender, and the soft glow of the desk lamp cast a warm light. "Please, have a seat," she gestured to the chair in front of her desk. I sat, my hands momentarily clenched before I relaxed them on my lap. "You impressed us with your unique perspective and life experiences," she began, and I felt a spark of hope. "We see potential in you, and we'd like to offer you the job." Paragraph 2： Late that afternoon, while I was cooking, the telephone rang. The aroma of the simmering sauce filled the kitchen as I reached for the phone, my heart pounding with a mix of anxiety and hope. "Hello?" I answered, my voice slightly shaky. "Congratulations, you've been selected for the position," Mrs. Martin's voice came through the line, clear and decisive. A wave of elation washed over me as I thanked her, my eyes welling up with tears of joy. Hanging up, I looked down at the two-dollar bill on the kitchen table, a tangible connection to my mother's unwavering support. I felt her presence, her strength, and her love, giving me the courage to face new challenges with confidence. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
