Question

【题目】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。续写的词数应为150左右。

The first thing Eileen Korey noticed when she got into the car that Wednesday afternoon in early May was a small diamond ring in the tray(托盘)between the front seats. It hadn't been there before. Weeks earlier, she had taken the car in to have the airbag replaced. The car belonged to her daughter and son-in-law and she was helping them out. Now she was picking it up. That's when she saw the ring. Korey, 64, of Lake Oswego quickly contacted her daughter and son-in-law to ask if they were missing a diamond ring or if any of their friends had reported losing a ring. They both wrote back, saying they had no idea what she was talking about.

Korey took the ring to the service desk at the garage to ask if any women technicians might have left a ring in the car while they were working on it. The woman behind the counter said only men worked on the cars.

Korey asked if the desk clerk could get information from the guy who had replaced the airbag. Over a two-way radio(对讲机), Helbt said he'd placed the ring in the tray when it dropped to the car's floor after he opened up the steering column to replace the airbag. He was not sure how it got there.

She knew a friend who was a jeweler and stopped by to have her look at the ring to see if it was real. Her friend said the diamond, set in a white gold hand, was worth$1, 200 and Korey could easily sell it for $500. But she wouldn't sell it. After making sure the ring didn’t belong to anyone in her family—or anyone at the auto shop Korey tracked down the first owner of the car using paperwork she found in the glove box. Her detective work led her to a dealership in Beaverton, and the car's first owners：Daniel and Ashleigh Hannah. The Hannahs had purchased the small ring when they got engaged and were saving money to buy a house.

Paragraph 1：

One Sunday afternoon, they were driving to an event in their car but had to stop at the bank and use the ATM machine.

Answer 1

【答案】Paragraph 1：

One Sunday afternoon, they were driving to an event in their car but had to stop at the bank and use the ATM machine. Ashleigh, showing her husband where to turn, gestured wildly with her left hand and felt the ring slip off. However, when searching the car carefully, they weren't able to find it. They figured it fell out of the open driver's side window.

Paragraph 2：

The couple searched the parking lot and the car for hours. Nothing. Later, back at home, the Hannah has searched through the car for hours. Nothing. Years later, Daniel bought his wife a much larger engagement ring. Finally, this month Korey made contact with Daniel Hannah. They met, and as a reward for returning the ring, she simply asked that Daniel send her a photo of the moment he surprised his wife with her lost engagement ring. On Mother's Day, Ashleigh's son gave her the ring. It didn't fit and was much smaller than her replacement ring, but none of that mattered.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了Eileen Korey在车修理后发现里面有一枚戒指，但是问了她的女儿和女婿，以及修理店的员工，他们都说不是自己的。后来她问了车的第一个主人，才知道戒指是他们的。

续写分为两段。第一段的开头是：一个周末的下午，他们开车去参加一个活动，但当时需要在路边停下，去自动提款机上取钱。所以可以接着写：丈夫取好钱后，妻子Ashleigh Hannah挥手让他过来开车，因为动作太大，戒指从手指上滑落。但当时他们没有发现。第二段的开头是：夫妻两在停车场和车上找了很久。所以可以接着写：他们什么也没有发现。回到家后，他们又在车上仔细地找了几遍，结果是一样的。后来，他们不得不重新买一个订婚戒指。当Korey联系他们时，他们才知道原来戒指掉在车里了。见面时，Korey把戒指还给了Daniel，Daniel十分感激。他回家把戒指拿给妻子，虽然这个戒指比后来买的那个小得多，但是在Ashleigh看来两个都一样的珍贵。

续写时要注意时态，续写的内容要符合逻辑。
