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。
(2023·山东潍坊模拟)On Black Friday,the busiest shopping day of the year,I went for breakfast in downtown Little Rock.
Even at 8 a.m.there was a waiting line at the cafe.Customers stood in groups,chatting and rubbing their cold hands together,waiting to share a hot breakfast and more conversation before pouring into the stores for bargains.I could feel the cheery excitement of the holidays,but it was tied with the usual stress that spoilt the season with layers of anxiety and tiredness.
Finally,I was seated by a large window.I noticed that it had begun to rain lightly outside. “Oh,no,”I complained. “I'm going to be dashing around in the rain.Shopping will be messy today!”I heard others complaining,too.
Then, out of the corner of my eye,I noticed an elderly man on the other side of the window,making his way carefully down the sidewalk. He was carrying a black umbrella in his left hand,sheltering himself from the rain,and balancing several brooms (扫帚) on his right shoulder. Beneath a thin gray coat,he was dressed in brown pants. A striped ski cap protected his head and thick glasses covered his eyes.As I watched,he smiled and stepped politely aside to allow a couple to rush by.
“Who's that?”I asked the waitress.
“That's Melvin. He's been walking these streets for years and years. I've heard he put several orphans through college by selling those brooms. He's almost blind and in his seventies,but he keeps on working. I don't know how he does it.Everybody buys brooms from him. He lives a poor life but he is a wonderful person.People here have always been good to him.”
Suddenly I was curious.This dear man could hardly see.Selling brooms on the streets could not earn good money.Melvin was the one who needed help!“So how does he help people?”I asked frankly.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Just then Melvin walked slowly into the restaurant.

写作思路:
[故事梗概]
黑色星期五,一年中最繁忙的购物日,作者坐在餐馆里,发现外面已经下起了雨,心情不佳的作者在一片抱怨声中注意到街上一位左手拿着一把黑伞、右肩上扛着几把扫帚的衣服单薄的老人,他正在微笑着给一对过路夫妇让路。好奇心促使作者向服务员打听这位老人,从服务员口中作者得知,以卖扫帚为生的老人竟然供了好几个孤儿上大学。虽然70多岁而且几乎双目失明,但他坚持工作。这时,作者突然意识到这位老人才是真正需要帮助的人,同时作者也产生了老人究竟是怎么帮助他人的疑问。
[续写思路]
根据续写第一段的提示句可知,第一段应讲老人进入餐馆之后人们对老人的反应以及作者的所作所为;根据续写第二段的提示句可推知,第二段应讲作者在和老人的聊天中对老人的进一步认识并意识到自己对生活的错误态度。
[参考范文]
Just then Melvin walked slowly into the restaurant. Waiting customers smiled and cleared the way for him. A few shook his hand. Others patted his shoulder as he moved quietly from table to table,smiling and asking,“Do you need a broom today?”Several frequenters bought from him and rose to pile their new brooms near the doorway. He gestured toward his brooms by the door,“I'm grateful for what you did for me.” At the scene,I was deeply touched by this man and his story. I ordered him a breakfast and asked him to sit next to me.
We chatted over the breakfast. From our interactions,I learned that he always chose the path of gratitude and service,even though there was much he could have complained about,not like the rest of us ...well,at least me,who complained just because we had to go shopping in the rain.He also shared that he was earning nearly enough to fund another orphan through college and that he was doing his bit to make the world better. He really made me feel humbled,and it was then that I decided to be intentionally positive and become a better person.
