Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. What luck! I decided to withdraw some money from the bank, The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a white beard, replied indifferently as usual to my polite “Happy New Year.” He nodded and I sat in front of him.

Minutes passed but he didn’t raise his head.

Then very hesitantly I put my form and booklet in front of him. He was busy filling up entries in his register. After a few minutes he took my form and from his cabinet he took out a very thick file, from which he started filling in my details, I sat there wondering why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms and register.

After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I said the words, I felt as if a bomb had fallen on him. He shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”

Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had tuned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done. We do not even feel the need to thank them for being there, He must be feeling so anxious that “here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first.”

Answer 1

【答案】Thinking of this, I told him, “Sir, you please have your tea, I am not in a hurry.” This gentleman, who had worked in the bank for so many years, suddenly looked up at me and for the first time we had eye contact—he had never made eye contact earlier. I saw a different person there. He gave me a rare smile and said, “It is an everyday affair with me; you are not in a hurry but somebody else will come who will be in a hurry.”

What he said really touched my heart. I felt that all this time I thought of him as a robot, someone who was there for my convenience, but today I suddenly felt a strange bond with him. I promised to be more friendly with people who help me with my work and be thankful that they are there for me. In our life, we need to put ourselves in other people’s shoes to imagine their thoughts. In this way, we can understand others better.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写。

通过阅读所给文章可知， 作者在去银行取钱的时候，遇到银行一位上了年纪的白胡子绅士。作者等了几分钟感觉不耐烦，然后看到了他早上喝的那杯茶，已经放了十分钟了，一动也不动。于是换位思考了对方的感受。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：想到这里，我对他说:“先生，请您用茶吧，我不赶时间。”。所以后文应该是讲述听到作者的话后，这位在银行工作了这么多年的先生突然抬头看着我，我们第一次有了眼神交流——他之前从未有过这样的交流。第二段开头是：他的话真的触动了我的心。接着应当写作者的感悟，突然感到与他之间有一种奇怪的纽带。我承诺对帮助自己工作的人更加友好，并感谢他们一直支持自己。在我们的生活中，我们需要设身处地为别人着想，想象他们的想法。

续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
