Ⅲ.读后续写
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。
When I was a child,I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of different flowers,and roses were the most beautiful of them.There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother,reading stories to me.When I was in primary school and old enough to read,I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I had been picked to be the princess in the school play.For weeks my mother had practised my lines so hard with me.But however easily I acted at home,as soon as I stepped on stage,every word disappeared from my head.Finally,my teacher took me aside.She explained that she had written a narrator's (叙述者) part to the play,and asked me to change my role.Her word,kindly expressed,still hurt,especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day.But she sensed my pain.Instead of suggesting we practice my lines,she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and,under the trees,we could also see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass,as if a painter had painted our garden with red,yellow and green.I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion.
“I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,” she said,pulling it up by its roots.“From now on,we'll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested.“All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously.“Yes,every flower is beautiful in its own way,isn't it?” she asked thoughtfully.I nodded,pleased that I had won her over.
“And that is true of people too,” she added.“Not everyone can be a princess,but there is no shame in that.”
Realizing that she had guessed my pain,I started crying as I told her what had happened.She listened and smiled reassuringly.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
“But you can make a good narrator,” she said with encouragement in her eyes._______ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After successful performance in the play,I took home the dandelion carefully._______ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
“But you can make a good narrator,” she said with encouragement in her eyes.It reminded me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.Mother enlightened me that the narrator's part was equally crucial,whose wise words inspired me with courage and confidence.But on the point of the performance,I suddenly felt nervous backstage again,my palms sweaty and kneels soft.Just then,my teacher came over to me,handing me a dandelion from my mother.Looking at it,I knew my mother was out there for me,which calmed me down.
Paragraph 2:
After successful performance in the play,I took home the dandelion carefully.Upon arriving home,I made the dandelion into a dried flower.Witnessing what I was busy doing,my mother watched me fondly and delightedly.With the well preserved dandelion,I participated in various school plays,rehearsed different roles and made spontaneous speeches ever since.Gradually,I've become really good at performing and public speaking,seldom feeling nervous onstage now.Every time I see it,I am reminded of this unforgettable experience and the profound wisdom.
