四、牛刀小试
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。
Brave Dog wasn't always his name. In the beginning his name was just Stray Dog(流浪狗).
I saw him for the first time one evening when Mattie and I went to milk the cows. He was all dusty coat and skinny-ribbed, hardly worth a second glance. But Mattie made a beeline for him, reaching out to pet him. “What a pretty dog!” The dog looked unsure, as if he weren't used to being spoken to kindly. I grabbed Mattie's arm, “Keep away from that stray dog,” I told her, “You know how Dad feels about stray dogs.” “Don't call him Stray Dog,” said Mattie. “He's a pretty dog.” The dog licked her face and put a paw on her shoulder. Mattie threw her arms around his neck. “I'm keeping him,” she declared, “I'm calling him Pretty Dog”.
To Mattie, his name was Pretty Dog. She talked to him, played with him and fed him secretly. He responded by following her like a shadow when no one else was around. To the rest of us, his name was Stray Dog. We did everything we could to chase him away, but he kept coming back. One day, Dad accidentally caught Mattie sneaking Stray Dog a piece of leftover roast meat. “Mattie! Get away from that dog!” Dad shouted, “Where's your common sense, girl? We don't waste good food on stray animals. You mustn't see that dog again; you send him away!” So, Stray Dog became “That Dog”.
One cold winter day, Dad set off to go ice fishing. Mattie had begged to go, but Dad said no. “You'll only fuss about cold,” he said, tweaking(扯) her pigtail(辫子),“I want to do some serious fishing”.
Dad came home a few hours later. “Got some fine ones,” he shouted from the porch(门廊). “Come to see!” Ma and I came out. “Where's Mattie?” Dad asked. Ma and looked at each other in confusion, both thinking Mattie was with the other. Then, Ma strode to the closet. “Her coat and boots are gone.” Ma turned to Dad with troubled eyes, “Maybe she went after you.” Worry lines creased(弄皱) Dad's face. “She never came to the lake. Come on, we need to find her. ”

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
In the lane we found Mattie's boot prints following Dad's big ones. But when the prints reached the road, there was nothing left to follow. We started to search, Minutes turned into hours as early evening darkness crept across the sky. Every time we called “Mattie! Mattie! Where are you?” no answer came, I felt as if a fist were squeezing my heart. Ma was shivering, but I knew it was from fear, not cold.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly some barks came from the distance. “It's That Dog!” Following the barks, we found Mattie curling up under a fallen pine tree. That Dog was with Mattie, wrapped around her like a bear skin rug. Ma was all tears and scolding. Pa gave hugs and kisses. Mattie spoke up, “We took the wrong road. Then I fell and hurt my foot so I couldn't walk. Pretty Dog stayed with me and kept me warm”. He kept licking my face, I knew he was telling me we'd be found.” I don't remember which one of us started calling him Brave Dog, but that was his name from then on. He became as much as a member of the family as any of us was.
