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 was a broke university student. I should have been going to university on a scholarship because I came from a low-income family, but a last-minute £100-a-year pay rise for my mum pushed my family over the threshold (门槛) for what defined “low-income” and I was suddenly no longer qualified for £15,000 a year in scholarship money. This news came after I’d been accepted by the university and signed the lease (租约) for my accommodation. Despite my family not being labelled low-income anymore, I still wouldn’t receive any financial support from my family as all the income went toward taking care of my disabled brother and paying their own bills. It would be tight, but because I had savings from my part-time job, I decided to go to university anyway. After paying my rent, I had £10.20 a week for everything else including food, toiletries, and school supplies. As I was in a new city, I really wanted to make friends, which was difficult when most of the social activities were expensive. Therefore, I jumped at the chance to do a relatively cheap coffee shop trip with my roommates who were pleasant to me. I had £20 with me to get a cheap cup of coffee and my food shopping for a few weeks. So I headed for the coffee shop. While paying, I pulled out the note and a handful of change and realized I could pay without breaking the note, so I put it back in my pocket. It wasn’t until I arrived at the supermarket that I realized the note was gone. What should I do? I was desperate as it was the equivalent (相等物) of two weeks of money. My roommates helped me look for the note. However, it was in vain. Finally, I went to school empty-handed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 1. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As a final attempt, I messaged the coffee shop’s Facebook page asking if they’d seen it. ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ I said, “Oh ...

To my surprise, they replied quickly, saying someone had found the money and dropped it off at the shop. I rushed there immediately. When I arrived, the barista handed me an envelope. Inside was more than £20. They said the person who found it just put it all in there. I was stunned and grateful but also confused. Paragraph 2: I said, “Oh... This isn’t mine; my note was an old worn one.” The barista was amazed. They said it was really kind of the person who found it, but they must have made a mistake. I felt a bit sad that I couldn't thank the kind stranger properly, but I was also happy to get my own money back. This experience made me realize that there are still good people in the world. 写作示范2 Paragraph 1: As a final attempt, I messaged the coffee shop’s Facebook page asking if they’d seen it. Soon, I got a message back saying that they had found my money. Overjoyed, I rushed to the coffee shop. When I got there, the cashier handed me a bag with the money in it. But to my astonishment, there were several more notes than I had lost. I was both grateful and bewildered. Paragraph 2: I said, “Oh... This isn’t mine; my note was an old worn one.” The cashier smiled and told me that a customer had found the money and left it there, adding some extra to help. I was deeply touched by this stranger's kindness. After clarifying the situation, I took my rightful amount. This incident taught me that there is always kindness around us, and we should cherish and pass it on. Possible version: As a final attempt, I messaged the coffee shop’s Facebook page asking if they’d seen it. I must have sounded over worried in the post as I was soon flooded with abundant kind reviews. All, acquaintances or strangers, were trying to offer some comfort, advice or even money. I was touched beyond words. Suddenly, one review caught my eye, saying that my note had been found. I rushed to the coffee shop in no time, unable to believe my good luck. Upon my arrival, the shop assistant handed me a brand new 20-pound note, at which I felt a bit surprised. I said, “Oh ... This isn’t mine; my note was an old worn one.” Hearing my words, the assistant immediately took out another note, which apparently was still not my lost note. “Actually, we’ve received several more notes from customers.” the assistant explained, spreading even more notes on the desk. I shook my head. Disappointed as I was, I couldn’t accept what didn’t belong to me. Despite the fact that I might suffer a tight budget in the following weeks, I felt the warmth out of the kindness. Never before had I believed so firmly that kindness was a ray of light, brightening up the day in the darkest time. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
