Dear Penny,
How is everything going these days?In response to your questions,I am more than delighted to introduce Those things in the Ming Dynasty to you.
Based on the history of Ming dynasty from year 1344 to 1644,the book intensively shows the destiny of 17 emperors and the other main characters in the novel style.It also introduced the politics,the economic systems,the battles,the emperors’ intentions and so on.As far as I’m concerned,the language of the book is interesting,the plot is vivid,and the author seems to be writing a popular version of the Ming Dynasty’s general history,which can make us learn about the history in a relaxing way.
How about your favourite history book? Looking forward to your early reply.
Wish you all the best!
Yours,
Li Hua
Ⅲ.读后续写

(2021·山东烟台模拟预测)
Many years ago,I had a friend named Jonathan who lived only a few houses down the street.He was a cool kid and a real friend and in retrospect(回想)I can see he had all the usual qualities and hangups of a typical boy.He was fun to be with because of his innocent enthusiasm,and he knew all the best places to hang out in the neighborhood.
The best part about Jonathan,though,was his dog.This is not to say that my friend was any less memorable than his pet,but that dog had a very special quality.A friendly Labrador that never met anyone he didn’t like,or immediately want to lick,Bowzer was born without any vocal chords (声带).He simply couldn’t bark though he behaved just like any other dog.
Even though he couldn’t make any sounds,Bowzer surely made his presence known anyway.We couldn’t play a pickup baseball game in the neighborhood park without an extra infielder,outfielder,base runner,or bellboy running around on four paws.It looked like his life depended on bumping into every single player on the field,regardless of which team that player played on.For all of us,it became an accepted part of our playtime that Bowzer would somehow be involved in whatever activity we decided on.
Then,one day,something terrible happened to Jonathan.His parents were called away to the hospital because his grandmother was ill,and so Jonathan was left at home by himself.Two men had chosen that house for an unannounced visit.
Jonathan was in his bedroom and heard the noise from the breakin,and because of panic,he didn’t scream for help.Bowzer was in the bedroom,and heard the noise as well,but because of his birth defect(缺陷),he couldn’t make a sound.As Jonathan read a book,the robbers made their way through the entire house and probably figured that no one was home.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
One of the robbers opened the door to Jonathan’s bedroom,and was frightened to find a boy in the bed._____ ______________________________________________________________

参考范文
Paragraph 1:
One of the robbers opened the door to Jonathan’s bedroom,and was frightened to find a boy in the bed.The robber was even more frightened to discover a fiftypound Labrador flying at him.Bowzer couldn’t bark,but that didn’t mean he did not have teeth or that he did not intend to take as big a bite out of that robber as he could.With an angry dog chewing on his arm,the robber began shouting in pain.The second robber suddenly appeared,and that’s when Jonathan saw the gun.The last thing he remembers is hearing one gunshot.
Paragraph 2:
Luckily,Jonathan survived that horrific gunshot without any physical injuries,and he loved his dog more afterwards.Bowzer protected his master in his own way.Just like on the baseball field,he responded swiftly and successfully bit the arm that held the gun.That gunshot,originally aiming at Jonathan,unfortunately went through one leg of Bowzer,causing him unable to run.Luckily,the police arrived just in time to arrest the robbers.Life came back to normal.Jonathan still hang out with his friends a lot,but he never leaves Bowzer at home alone.He takes him wherever he goes.
