内容正文:
第十二节 动物
单纯就动物而言,动物的描写包括动物的外貌描写、动物的生活习性描写和动物的趣事描写等。在高考英语读后续写中动物的外貌和习性一般在原材料中已经交代,不属于我们要续写的内容。而且在读后续写中几平没有单独指写动物的要求,绝大多数的动物描写都与人有关。动物描写属于人与自然的范畴。

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。
In my home, there is an old leather chair that I want to throw away but I can't. If you look at this picture, you'll see why. This is my dog Max and he lives in the old chair. It wasn't always this way. Max used to be a puppy. He ran, jumped and played. For years it seemed he never sat still. But he's 8 years old now, so he's slowed down quite a bit and enjoys his time in his favorite chair like an old man.
Every time I leave the house, he climbs up there and takes on a sad look. It's a face that says, “I hate it when you leave me, but I'll wait here patiently until you come back.” When he was younger he'd always be waiting at the door and waving his tail when he heard the sound of knocking. These days his old legs are hurt a bit and getting up and down from things isn't as easy as it used to be. So when I open the door and don't see the dog standing there, my eyes immediately turn toward the living room and I see his big brown eyes. The sadness is washed away from his face and immediately go and give him a hug.
If there were a million dollars sitting on the kitchen table. I would walk right to see him first, I get down on the floor so we are at eye level, put my head on his and tell him what a good boy he is. He doesn't know a lot of human words but he knows what “good boy” means.
I bought that chair l5 years ago and the leather has started to wear away. I don't mind it so much but when company comes over, I do feel a bit embarrassed. I apologize to my guests and explain that is Max's chair.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
I've thought about getting rid of it. But then I wonder what Max would do if I do that. Would he like a new chair or would he stare at the place where he used to sleep and play, looking back at me confusedly? He's a great dog and he doesn't ask me to do anything for him other than to love him. So now that he likes the old chair, when he sees the chair, he can think of my love for him.
Paragraph 2:
I like to see him sitting in the chair when I come back. I want to see his big brown eyes filled with love and I want my good boy to wait for me at the door. I want to give him a hug after work. Max has become a part of my life. He is like my son and I am willing to love him.
