话题:一株植物的生存
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。
The Cycles of Life
My mother took the container from my hands. Its leaves hung down the sides of the pot. For several months each year, the plant grew well, but in the winter months it would turn brown. For several years, Mom cared for it through the winter, rewarded with a revival of greenery each year in the early days of spring.
My mother's health grew worse over the decade of the plant's life. During a visit from Aunt Marion in late spring, when both the plant and my mom faced a difficult recovery, the plant changed hands again. Mom asked her sister if she could take care of the plant. Leaving Mom's house with a pot of soil and the dried plant, Aunt Marion carried it home, determined to save it.
During that summer, the leaves broke through the soil, and the plant grew again. As before, each winter it withered(枯萎), to be renewed again in spring, starting with tiny shoots pushing through, developing tearshaped leaves.
The plant cycled as it had done under my short care and my mother's care until one spring when Aunt Marion thought it couldn't survive and put it out with the trash. On a visit, my cousin Carole, seeing the plant on the rubbish, decided to give the determined plant one further chance. Carole took the container to her sunroom hoping she could do something with it.
In the years since I first brought the plant home, four women from the family have cared and nurtured it, each in her own time. During those years, I also cycled through times when life was lush and green and times when I felt there would be no restoration of my heart's remains following difficult barren periods. A decade after my mother died, I moved over 500 miles from home, hoping for new beginnings. During the long winter months after the move, everything familiar was distant and I longed for the connections left behind.

[语篇解读] 本文以人物为线索展开。主要讲述了一株植物在家族中四位女性成员的接力照料下,历经多年、多次枯萎与复苏的生命历程,同时作者借这株植物的经历映射自己人生中起伏不定的阶段,表达在经历艰难时期后对恢复与新生的渴望,以及在远离家乡后对旧日联系的怀念。
[详解] 1.段落续写
续写第一段:由第一段首句内容“搬家后的第一个六月,我回来探望和我的表妹卡罗尔在一起。”可知,第一段可描写作者在搬家后的第一个六月回到表妹Carole家拜访的情景。
续写第二段:由第二段首句内容“当我更仔细地观察这棵植物时,我的眼睛里充满了泪水,认出了它的小叶子。”可知,第二段可描写作者把植物带回家养护和作者的感悟。
2.续写线索:评论植物的美——Carole说是作者妈妈的植物——作者想起妈妈——带走几枝——养大植物——感悟
[参考范文]
The first June after the move, I returned for a visit and stayed with my cousin Carole. I was eager to see the family and friends I missed. One morning, as we shared coffee and conversation at Carole's kitchen table, I commented on the beauty of the plant hanging in her kitchen window. I saw it! The tiny, dark green leaves spilled over the sides of the flowerpot. Carole told me that was my mother's plant. I was shocked. Gone nearly twelve years, my mom returned to me in spirit on that soft spring morning.
My eyes were filled with tears as I examined this plant more closely, recognizing the tiny leaves. I thought of my mother and what she did to the plant. When I left, I took several cuttings. I carefully placed them in a small pot and watched them take root and grow. Eventually, they filled two large pots. The plant passed through the hands of my mother, my aunt and my cousin until it returned to me. It became a sweet reminder of the blessings we shared and how together we were rooted and grew through each other's love and nurturing.
