The most delicious memories seem to happen during the holidays. And like a squirrel preparing for winter, I put them away to enjoy slowly during the long winter months. Sometimes, I enjoy them for years.

Among them are sweetest recollections: my little girls at the church play and the moment they got their first angel wings; a pink dolly stroller(手推车) wheeled into the bedroom with a tiny voice declaring, 'Look what Santa Claus brought me! '; or New Year's snowmen wearing bright scarves borrowed from a grandma's fragrant drawer.

But there is one memory that is a little bittersweet -- sort of like 80% dark chocolate, but still good for you.

This story brings to mind a colorful candy dish and a very little boy. The occasion was somewhere between Christmas and New Year's when a few candies in a dish remained behind, a bright spot in dull winter gray.

Wrapped in December's chill, my then 3-year old grandson, Justin, and I had dashed from the warmth of my parked car into the building where I planned to take care of a few work-related tasks.

A smiling secretary greeted us as we brushed the snowflakes and rubbed our hands to chase the cold. Then with my grandchild close to my side, I busied myself, finishing the items of business that had brought us there. But while his hand remained in mine, his eyes fell on the candy dish sitting nearby.

As we turned to leave, the thoughtful and very observant woman behind the desk asked the question all children wait to hear.

'Honey, ' the kindly woman said, peering over her glasses at Justin. 'Would you like a candy bar? ' she asked, her hand pushing the dish close for an easier reach.

The boy looked up questioningly, his eyes meeting mine, permission hanging in the air. A slight nod from me and then a hurried beeline to the candy dish followed. One candy bar was already in his hand.

Para 1: 'Justin! ' I said from the doorway.

Para 2: In the humor of the moment, I felt something hard to swallow.

【答案】'Justin!' I said from the doorway. By this time his pudgy hands had grabbed one -- and only one -- and he made his way back to me. My voice was somewhat serious as I realized manners had been forgotten. 'What do you say? ' Hearing this, the little boy turned on his heel, promptly returning to the candy dish. 'Get Grandma one, too! ' I laughed. The secretary laughed. And even little Justin innocently giggled at the fun we were having.

In the humor of the moment, I felt something hard to swallow. There was a truth that lingered long after the strawberry candy taste had disappeared. What example had I set for this little one while often in my care? Was he learning more about 'getting' and less about gratitude -- that heartfelt 'thank you'? In the years since, I've always loved to remember that moment. But one gift I hope we all leave with our children is the importance of a grateful heart. Really, what could be sweeter?

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写。文章主要讲述了作者和孙子的一次经历带给她苦中带乐的回忆。

续写分为两段。第一段的开头是:“Justin!”我在走廊上说。这时他的手上抓着一颗糖,然后朝我走过来。我的声音有点严肃,我意识到自己当时失态了。“你说什么?”。听到这话,小男孩转过身去,立刻跑到糖果盘那里。“给奶奶也拿一颗。”我笑了。秘书也笑了。小Justin也咯咯的笑了。第二段的开头是:在这个幽默时刻,我觉得有些东西难以下咽。在草莓味糖果的味道消失之后,有一个想法始种萦绕在我心头。我给小家伙树立了什么榜样?他学到了更多关于得到,更少关于感激的东西吗(那种发自内心的感激)?从那以后,我一直记得那一刻。我总是希望让孩子学会真正的感恩。没有什么比这更好了。

续写时应注意故事情节要符合逻辑,基础时态为一般过去时。

【题目】 Only a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace. For the rest of us, commuting(乘车上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.

So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto? You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Toronto's streets. Seeing the big picture of Toronto's traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must. From my own experience, there are situations where a quick decision can help you make it in time for an event or a meeting. That's why we prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night. You can click them and watch.

With the help of “Google Maps”, where you can watch the live traffic density all over the world and average traffic data based on past conditions, we were able to provide you with traffic maps for a typical(平常的) Friday.

Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning, with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions(交叉点) at 700 a. m. The morning traffic jam starts light at 730 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 830. The roads are quite free afterwards, only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 1130 a. m. to 1200 noon. It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 100 p. m., mainly on the Don Valley Parkway. You won't have a good time getting away from the city from 400 p. m. to 630 p. m., as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam. The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night. I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday!

【题目】 “Cash is king” is an age-old saying. 1 When in Berlin, do not count on getting around easily with just a credit card. “Cash only” signs hang on front doors of shops and restaurants across the city.

2 After all, Germany is Europe’s leading economy and famous technological know-how. But, even while some of its neighbors in Europe and elsewhere are quickly swapping physical money for new pay technologies, many Germans prefer their euro bills. Cash is quick and easy to use, they argue. It provides a clear picture of personal spending, keeps transactions (交易) more private and is widely accepted in the country.

A study by the country’s central bank said Germans carried an average of 107 euros in their wallet. 3 Three-quarters of Americans in a U.S. bank survey said they carried less than $50, and one-quarter said they kept $10 or less in their wallet.

4 In 2008, for the first time, Germans used plastics for payments more than bills. According to a report, in Cologne, 48.6% of sales took place with a debit or a credit card, compared with 48.3% in cash.

Still, Germany has one of the highest rates of cash use in the European Union. The most important reasons for the close relationship of Germans to cash are their needs for protection of personal data, security and confidentiality (保密) of payments. 5 But the average German’s need for security will be sure to slow the process.

A. This may be surprising to some.

B. It’s far more than what Americans carry.

C. Change may happen in future generations.

D. Germany is not the only country that prefers cash.

E. For much of Germany, however, the phrase is still up to date.

F. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never heard of the saying.

G. That’s not to say that Germans rule out other modern payment methods.
