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 a rainy November morning. Overcome with anger I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would lose my temper with my husband, Joe. As rain came down in sheets, Joe offered to take me to work. I struggled into my jacket, seized my bag and teaching plans and ignored him.

He insisted and reached for his boots. I looked at the piles of newspapers and the dirty dishes still on the table. “Don’t you have enough to do？I can take care of myself.” I stormed out, not even kissing him good-bye. Joe shouted after me not to take the shortcut.

Joe and I had been eagerly looking forward to our retirement when heart a attack that past spring forced him to leave his job earlier than we had planned. As the medical bills mounted we realized I would have to continue working full-time while Joe stayed home and took over the housework.

The new arrangement was a disaster. Exhausted after a day of full work, all I wanted was hot homecooked meal and a good night’s sleep. However, what greeted me at the table was a microwave package. Sometimes he would serve oatmeal for several nights in a row. One night when I dragged myself to bed, I was terrified to discover Joe had turned our white sheets blue: He told me he had found out how to save on water, soap and electricity. He patted his blue trousers and announced proudly washing everything together was just the secret.

Ten minutes later, ignoring Joe’s warning I turned off the main route. I thought it hadn’t rained enough to flood the road, but as I rounded the corner water rushed across my path. After a few feet, the car got stuck. I opened the door and water poured in. I hurriedly closed the door. I couldn’t risk walking in this. Almost 20 minutes passed. The car began to shake. I got frightened to death when I heard three long honks.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1:

Looking over my shoulder, I stared into the flashing lights of a truck. It was Joe！I couldn’t help bursting into tears. Joe shouted to me not to be frightened. Then he threw a thick rope so that I could hang on to it and walk straight toward him. I opened the door, grabbed it and inched out. However, a sudden fall left me in the rushing water. I struggled to my feet, only to find a branch blocking the way right in front of me.

Paragraph 2:

I screamed that I couldn’t make it. Joe, however, remained calm！He urged me to take one step at a time and assured me I could make it. I moved forward slowly and cautiously before I fell into his arms. Sobbing against his chest, I apologized that I shouldn’t have taken the shortcut. Joe patted me saying his primary concern was my safety. Only then did I realize Joe actually understood how to take care of me despite his trouble with the housework.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写作文。

通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要记叙了十一月的一个早晨，下着大雨，作者的丈夫Joe叮嘱作者不要抄近路去上班。也使作者想起了丈夫因为心脏病发作，不得不待在家里做家务，而作者要继续全职工作。一天的劳累之后，作者想要的只是一顿热腾腾的家宴和一夜好眠，却发现丈夫晚上只有燕麦粥，而且家务也做的不好的事情，作者对丈夫心生不满。作者没有听丈夫的话，还是走了近路，结果车被困在了积满雨水的道路上。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我回过头，盯着一辆卡车闪烁的灯光。所以后文应该是讲述作者发现是丈夫来解救自己，以及丈夫解救作者的经过，最后作者被一根树枝拦住了；第二段开头是：我尖叫着说我过去不了。本段应该写作者的丈夫如何鼓励作者克服了困难的，最后作者意识到丈夫其实懂得如何照顾自己，尽管他做家务很麻烦。

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。
