My parents and I lived upstairs over my aged and sick grandmother.All of us 1 her as carefully as possible.Grandmother was gradually going blind.However,her mind was 2 .
I often think of the fall when Grandmother got the 3 to “be useful again” to help earn extremelyneeded dollars.At that time,her niece had rented one of lunch stands on the fairgrounds in our town during the weeklong fair, 4 food for the hungry crowds coming to the fair,together with the niece’s daughter.
Though Grandmother’s relatives would have little time to 5 during the day,they would need a place to sleep in.Grandmother stumbled(蹒跚而行) 6 around at home,thinking of all the help she could offer.
Under her guidance,the woodshed of the stand had been made into a relatively 7 sleeping room.A curtain was put up at the one small window.Simple beds with quilt were 8 carefully.A blanket would warm their feet and the cold floor on the early mornings.
Shortly after that,the best day came.The two women got everything 9 early before the lunch time,finding that their simple sandwiches for lunch sold like hotcakes.The fair employees themselves bought their breakfasts here,keeping the two women overly 10 .
Nearly 11 as grandmother may have been,she could do her 12 .Grandmother stated delightedly,“That was the best week I’ve had in years!”
The lesson that memory brings back to me is that we all 13 a chance to be “useful” or 14 .No matter what our situation is,there’s usually a way to 15 !

参考范文:
Dear Anne,
I’m sorry to hear that you feel depressed now.What’s white lie?For instance,when someone cooks a meal for us that we dislike,we lie and say that the food is delicious.That is a white lie.
One main reason for telling a white lie is to make others feel better and another one is to give encouragement.If your friend asks you what you think of his singing,perhaps he wants some comments from you so that he can make himself improved gradually.But you may give him some encouragement and build up his confidence by telling a white lie.Besides,we may also tell a white lie when we want to protect others from bad news.Therefore,we may find white lies are wellintended.
So why not smile at a white lie?
Yours,
Li Hua

(2022·湖北省新高考联考协作体高二期末)
A young woman was waiting for her flight at an airport.She was leaving for London because she got a new job there.It was said that her new boss was a typical English gentleman—polite,modest,humorous and considerate.She was excited as well as a little nervous about her new life.
With several long hours before her flight,the woman hunted for a book in the airport shops,bought a packet of cookies and found a place to sit.She took out a book and started to read.Although she was absorbed in her book,she happened to see that the man sitting beside her,as bold(大胆的)as he could be,grabbed(抓)a cookie or two from the bag in between them.Educated to be wellmannered,she tried to ignore it to avoid an argument.But to show that she was the owner,she started to take cookies from that bag too.Unfortunately,the man didn’t get that hint(暗示),since he didn’t stop grabbing the cookies.
“How annoying!” she thought.As the greedy cookie thief kept eating,the woman munched(用力咀嚼)some cookies and watched the clock.
She was getting angrier as the minutes went by,thinking,“If I weren’t so nice,I would blacken his eyes.” With each cookie she took,he took one,too;when only one was left,she wondered what he would do.
With a smile on his face,and a nervous laugh,he took the last cookie and broke it in half.He offered her a half,and ate the other.She grabbed it from him,glared at him and thought,“Oh,brother.This guy has some nerve and he is so rude! Why didn’t he even show any gratefulness?”
She had never known when she had been so angry,and sighed in relief when her flight was called.She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate quickly,refusing to look back at the rude thief.She boarded the plane,sank in her seat,and looked for her book,which was almost complete.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
As she reached in her baggage,she gasped(喘气)with surprise.
Paragraph 2:
Surprisingly,she found the man sitting just behind her.
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
As she reached in her baggage,she gasped(喘气)with surprise.There was an unopened bag of cookies.A terrible thought crossed her mind,“If my cookie bag is here,the other one I ate is his and he just tried to share with me.” She realized that the man wasn’t the irritating cookie thief and he was polite enough.In contrast with him,she was the impolite one.But it was too late to say sorry to him.
Paragraph 2:
Surprisingly,she found the man sitting just behind her.Her face burned with shame and apologized for what she did and said to him.“It doesn’t matter!” the man smiled at her and said.It was totally unexpected for her to hear his response.She understood that real politeness and gentleness was sincere kindness,even though others treated you in a rude way.It was the man who taught her the truth.
