Longji Rice Terraces①
Imagine mountains wrapped② in silver water, shining in the spring sun.Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice.During autumn, these same mountains are gold, and in winter they are covered in sheets③ of white frost④.These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.

These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people, to whom Guangxi is home.Starting in the Yuan Dynasty, work on the terraces took hundreds of years, until its completion⑤ in the early Qing Dynasty.Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top.
So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces? Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of land in the region.Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice.Secondly, although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are steep⑥ and the soil is shallow⑦.The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.
But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice.The terraces are cleverly designed, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other.During the rainy season, it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces.The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour⑧.This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again.These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish, some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops⑨.
Although modern technology could help produce more crops, these terraces still mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold

读后续写之优秀品行
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 worked as a mailman. I loved this job. Each day I delivered things like college acceptances and birthday presents. “These are things that could all make someone’s day,” I thought.
On an ordinary afternoon of Thursday, I walked in a block and delivered packages as usual. Children were playing in the yards along the block. I waved to them as I walked by, delivering mail at houses along the way. I turned up the next walkway. The lady who lived there opened the door wide. “Hello,” she said. I knew what she was waiting for. “I’ve got your book club selection,” I said, handing over her package.
There were only about 700 people on my route. Over the years I had gotten to know most of them. Mrs. Dorman at the end of my route got a package from the Home Shopping Network almost every day. She was an older lady. And I liked being able to bring a little joy into her life with my delivery.
After a long time of walking and delivering in the block, I finally reached the house of Mrs. Dorman. I dug in my bag for Mrs. Dorman’s mails—and the inevitable Home Shopping Network package. She’d be glad to get this. Mrs. Dorman waited for me at the door and we always had a nice talk.
But Mrs. Dorman wasn’t at the door today. I heard the TV going inside so I knew she was home. “She was probably watching her shopping shows,” I thought. I fit all the envelopes into her mailbox,and then bent down to put the package by the door.
I froze. What was that? Something like a cry. I approached closer to the door. “Mrs. Dorman?” I called. There was no answer. But that same weak cry came again. “Hello?” I tried to open the door, but it was locked. So I pressed my ear against the door. This time I clearly heard words, “Help me. I was injured by accident... ”

[读后续写四步曲]
第一步 通读全文,理清脉络
1.读要素,弄懂故事大意
本文大意:主要讲述了“我”是一名邮递员,并且很喜欢这份工作。多尔曼太太总是在门口等“我”,“我们”总是聊得很开心。但多尔曼太太今天没在门口。结果“我”发现多尔曼太太家的门是锁着的,而且得知多尔曼太太意外受伤。
2.读人物,理清人物关系
Mrs. Dorman, I
3.读时态,确定主体时态
一般过去时
4.读结构,了解叙述方式
第1-2段:介绍“我”(一名邮递员)的工作,表达了对工作的热爱,并描述了“我”如何进行包裹的日常派送。
第3-4段:“我”对投递路线和居民非常熟悉,特别是多尔曼太太,因为“我”几乎每天都为她递送HSN的包裹,并和她进行友好的交谈。
第5-6段:“我”到达多尔曼太太家,发现她不寻常地没有在门口等“我”,听到了微弱的呼救声。
续写部分:第一段主要描写“我”推门走进去后发现多尔曼太太受伤的场景及二人的对话;第二段则主要描写在“我”的帮助下,多尔曼太太被送往医院,多尔曼太太回来时对“我”的感谢。
由此可见,材料是按照时空变化来划分的。我们在构思续写时应从这个叙述方式去进行拓展。
5.读语言,把握语言特色
原文中的语言特色:
(1)丰富的心理活动描写
“These are things that could all make some-one’s day,” I thought.
She’d be glad to get this.
I froze. What was that? Something like a cry.
“She was probably watching her shopping shows,” I thought.
(2)详细的动作描写
I waved to them as I walked by, delivering mail at houses along the way.
I fit all the envelopes into her mailbox,and then bent down to put the package by the door.
So I pressed my ear against the door.
第二步 依据首句,构思框架
1.读懂两段首句
第一段首句译文:我使劲地推门。
第二段首句译文:幸运的是救护车很快就到了。
第一段框架:“我”用力推开门进入屋内,发现多尔曼太太被倒下的扶手椅压在走廊上,“我”小心翼翼地移开椅子并叫了救护车。
第二段框架:救护车很快到达,并将多尔曼太太送往医院。几天后她康复回家,向“我”解释了事故的原因,并对“我”的及时救助表示感谢,使得这个平凡的周四变得不同寻常。
2.写好两个衔接句
第一段首句后的衔接句:Luckily, I managed to open the door and stepped into the house.
第二段首句后的衔接句:Mrs. Dorman was lifted and carried to the hospital.
3.写好一个升华句
第二段的尾句,即文尾句。能体现故事圆满结局的句子或故事给我们的启示的句子:
It was just an ordinary Thursday. It was also extraordinary because I made a difference to people’s life.
第三步 增加细节,展开续写
基于第一段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
“我”的动作描写(“我”使劲地推门,打开了门并走了进去,发现多尔曼太太躺在地上 )→描述性语言(一把扶手椅倒在她身上,夹住了她的胳膊 )→多尔曼太太的语言描写(说她的胳膊受伤了 )→描述性语言(她似乎呼吸困难——可能是因为压在她身上的沉重的椅子)→“我”的动作描写(“我”小心翼翼地移开了椅子,叫了救护车并安慰多尔曼太太 )
学生用书第95页
基于第二段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
描述性语言(救护车很快就到达了,多尔曼太太入院接受治疗并康复出院 )→“我”的心理描写(“我”非常高兴能够再次看到多尔曼太太在门口迎接我 )→多尔曼太太的语言描写(讲述她是如何受伤的 )→多尔曼太太的动作描写(多尔曼太太感谢“我”及时救了她 )→主题升华(这只是一个普通的星期四,但也是不平凡的,因为“我”改变了人们的生活 )
第四步 检查优化,整洁誊写
I pushed against the door violently. Luckily, I managed to open the door and stepped into the house. To my surprise, I found Mrs. Dorman lay face down in the hallway, not far from the door. An armchair had fallen on top of her. Her arm was caught in it. “I... think...” she said weakly. She seemed to have trouble breathing—probably because of the heavy chair on top of her. I carefully moved it before calling the ambulance. “My shoulder hurts,” Mrs. Dorman whispered. I comforted her, waiting for the ambulance.
Luckily the ambulance arrived fast. Mrs. Dorman was lifted and carried to the hospital. Several days later, Mrs. Dorman was back. I was happy that she could greet me at the door herself again. “I was watching TV and lost my balance getting up,” she explained. “I tried to grab the chair. Instead, it came down on top of me.” At last, she thanked me for rescuing her in time. It was just an ordinary Thursday. It was also extraordinary because I made a difference to people’s life.
