Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White's hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium(礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town's people. Many people tried out each year for it but so many were turned away. It could only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy's body and said, \"Child, you just don't fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.\"
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the
choral(合唱)room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Butler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn't want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Butler called, \"Emily, you're next.\" Although kind of nervous. Emily did as Mr. Butler told her to do. Mr. Butler sat by the piano to accompany Emily. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn't sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn't fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.
Para1:
The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.

2.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。
Growing up, my parents and older brothers all smoked. Being a child of the 80s, it was normal for the adults to be smoking inside and during trips in the car. There just wasn’t the same awareness of the dangers of second-hand smoke exposure that there is today.
I remember the day when I started smoking. I was 11. I was trying to impress one of the “bad boys” at school. I stole tobacco from my father and rather clumsily rolled a cigarette that I took to school with me. Smoking gave me a sense of autonomy and choice over my own life, and at 11 it was the ultimate act of rebellion. Soon I got addicted to it and was taking cigarettes from dad’s packets on a regular basis. I knew he never started counting them until he had less than half a pack left.
After a while I got caught smoking at school. My parents struck a deal with me: if I stopped smoking at school, they would purchase more tobaccos for me to smoke at home. This was perhaps a misguided attempt to keep me out of trouble. I jumped at the idea, and simply got smarter about smoking at school.
I smoked right through my teens and early 20s, spending thousands of dollars on cigarettes, sacrificing food and other necessities to ensure I had cigarettes.
I tried many methods to quit, but each time I would go back to smoking. I have always had a love-hate relationship with cigarettes. On the one hand, they were a friend to me when I had no other, one constant in my life I could rely on. On the other hand, I despised (鄙视) being dependent on something that was going to kill me.
I grew concerned about the effect my smoking would have on my children and I felt guilty putting cigarettes over other things that could have benefited my family. It is with great shame that I admit that I continued smoking even after having a daughter born with cystic fibrosis (囊性纤维). My daughter fights every day to breathe — and here I was intentionally causing damage to my lungs.

Getting to watch surgeries should be exciting for any medical student. But in my case, while two doctors were doing the operation, I was checking my phone every 20 seconds to see how much longer until I could leave. I didn’t belong there; I was only pretending to be there. The truth was, halfway through university, I knew I didn’t want to be a doctor. And I had to decide whether to keep lying to myself, or change course.
Before university, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I’d always wanted to do English but my parents didn’t approve, saying there was no money in it. So I figured I’d just pick a career that looked well-paid, satisfying, and would make my parents proud. “Doctor” hit all three, so I decided to do medicine. I knew all the coursework wouldn’t be easy, but didn't expect to find it as hard as I did. I spent many late nights and weekends studying my brains out, but still didn’t get good grades. I just couldn’t get the material to stick to my brain. By exam time, my grades were terrible and I felt like a fool, but I thought maybe a medical internship (实习医生期) would help raise my spirits. Absurdly, my internship was where I realized how little I wanted to be a doctor.
Every day I’d just go into work and do exactly what I was told, go where I was told to go, and watch what I was told to watch. And then I’d go home. It was fun whenever I got to play with expensive microscopes or watch crazy surgeries, but the rest of the time I struggled to get through the day. The other interns, however, practically worked so hard. They were so driven. I thought, “Wow, these interns really want to be doctors. I obviously don’t.” It was a sad realization that led to a sadder, scarier question: If I didn’t want to be doctor, what did I want to do?

I was 28 years old, the age when most young people have their eyes firmly fixed on the promise of success but I was a failure. Six years earlier, fresh from college, I had joined a dramatic producing company, and had been going into small towns and rural communities producing country-style musical comedies. But, in the summer of 1940, the country was in a depression, radio had changed
people's tastes, and part-time shows weren't all that big any more. So , jobless and with nothing else in sight, I went back home. Later I got a job as a recreation-room director in my hometown. It paid $50 a month, for which I was grateful, but it sure was a dull job.
I felt so frustrated with my plan to be a dramatic star. Restless and dissatisfied though I was it was nice, in a way, to be back home. I tried to teach some of my town's children music and drama. And when I got a chance, I'd try my luck as a performer myself. I'd dress up as a country girl and tell little stories and jokes that I'd picked up during my years living around country folk. I gave this country girl a name-Minnie Pearl.
One October afternoon I was in the recreation room, waiting for the children when a banker friend, Jim Walker, came in and said, \"We're going to have a bankers' meeting here. I understand you've been teaching some children dramatics and dancing and singing. Would you let the children entertain the bankers? \"I said, yes. Suddenly, he turned and added, \"Oh, by the way, the speaker from Chicago is flying here. If he's late, would you mind doing that Minnie Pearl thing? \"I told Jim I'd do it.
That night the children sang and danced to old-time, popular songs when I was backstage. After we finished the performance, Jim came to me. \"The speaker's not here yet. You'll have to help us. \"\"All right, \"I told him, \"just give me a minute to dress up.\"

I remember the first time I met Roy. He was telling a joke. When he reached the final line, everyone burst out laughing. “A popular boy, ”I thought to myself. My name is Daniel. I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later, Roy and I are still in the same class. But just under a year ago, Roy’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance. Roy changed completely. He started losing friends, including me.
About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom, I went inside to get it, and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet—and I knew it wasn’t his! Roy went bright red. “I’ll put it back right now, ”he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we
made about£500. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there was about£500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there, holding the notes in my hand. At that moment, Roy walked in.

I worked from the time when I was four and raised seven children, all of them college graduates. It seemed I'd done everything I'd ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn't spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old. Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can't read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.
By 1928, I'd been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. \"Elzenia,\" I said. \"I don't want the kids to know I can't read or write.\"
In 1938, one day my boss called me in. \"George,\" he said. \"No one knows those machines like you do. I'd like to promote you.\" But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, \"Fill out this application and we'll get you a raise.\" I couldn't admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn't stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.
A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It's information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I'm 98. I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn't read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I've wanted to read. It was high time for action.

I was doing a big clean-up recently and my kids were helping when my son, Freddo, came across a knotted handkerchief with an old dark brown coin inside. “Mum, can I have this? Can I play with this Coin?” he asked I took one look and was immediately transported to another time.
In 1991, there was a time when my friend and I worked in a backward African country, Niger, hit by sandstorms and burning heat. There were many things I found difficult about this place—the climate and beggars were my biggest headaches. So after finishing five months of nursing work there, we moved on to work at a health clinic in neighbouring country, Burkina Faso. “It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better,” the locals assured us.
Yet the fact was quite the opposite. Arriving by taxi at our destination in Burkina, we began to unload. I was reaching for my larger piece of luggage when, out of the darkness, a motorbike with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of the men grabbed my daypack as the motorbike swept close by. Within seconds, the pair were out of sight, swallowed up by the night.
With my passport, money, traveller's cheques all in the bag, I was in deep
trouble. How frustrating! All I wanted was to leave this hellhole! Then, walking through Burkina's streets one day, I was stopped by an old woman who thrust her hand in my face. “Cadeau (‘gift’ in French)! Cadeau!”she cried. I'd had enough! I was extremely tired of the country: its poverty, its thieves, the heat, the dust and...everything! I told her angrily and firmly in French, “I have no ‘cadeau’. I have no money. A thief stole all my money two weeks ago and now I can't get out of your country. I cannot give you anything. NOTHING!”The beggar woman listened attentively. To my great surprise, after hearing my words, she gave a broad smile. 注意:

Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White's hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium(礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town's people. Many people tried out each year for it but so many were turned away. It could only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy's body and said, \"Child, you just don't fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.\"
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral(合唱)room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.

Emily couldn't sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn't fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.

【答案】
Paragraph 1
The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room, She was not rejected this time. Her name was posted at the top of the list. She, Emily White, was chosen to be the leading singer! She would sing alone in the performance. Emily couldn't believe her eyes. There must be some mistake. But Mr Buttler said to her with determined eyes, \"Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part — your voice is unusual. Believe in yourself.\" Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard.
Paragraph 2
Finally, the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. \"Emily White!\" Someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage. Emily White, with so many birth problems in her body, was an angel.

【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,Emily17年前出生时身体就有很多问题,她的一些器官、骨骼和肌肉变形了,好在Eimly有一副美丽的歌喉,但她在去年想要参加音乐选拔,却被音乐老师无情拒绝。今年来了一位新的音乐老师听说了她的事情,给与了她一次展示自己的机会,Emily很感激,但到等待选拔结果的时候她很紧张。续写部分分为两段。
【详解】
根据提示,第一段开头:The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. Emily匆忙赶到合唱室,焦虑地看着合唱室门上的名单。所以可以接着写:她这一次没有被拒绝,她的名字位于榜首,被选中成为了主唱,她可以在表演中独唱了。但是Emily不敢相信,觉得肯定是搞错了,但Butler老师带着坚定的眼神说:“我选择你是因为你要演唱这一部分,你的声音太不寻常了,相信自己。”受到了极大的
鼓舞,Emily的训练真的非常努力。
第二段的开头是:终于,表演的那天来了。所以可以接着写:站在队伍前面,Emily感到喉咙发紧,手心冒汗。大幕打开时,所有观众的目光都落在Emily身上。“Emily White!”有人小声说。接着,随着音乐的第一个音符,Emily开始放声歌唱。她的声音像夜莺在礼堂里鸣响。掌声! Emily感到很高兴和舒适。她在舞台上光芒四射。Emily White,尽管她的身体里有那么多的生育问题,但她是一个天使。

Paragraph 2:

_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The turning point for me was an incredibly painful experience. Last June a family member aged only 17, died after a long battle with cystic fibrosis. The cruel twist of fate robbed her of the life that she so richly deserved. Smoking for another five weeks after her death, I suddenly felt ashamed of myself and was overwhelmingly sorry for my daughter. I visited a doctor, who suggested me adopting electronic cigarettes as a substitute. I practiced over a couple of weeks and noticed the number of cigarettes decreasing.
I set myself further little goals, such as only taking my e-cigarettes whenever I went. I made a record of every cigarette I had, and the associated triggers for that particular cigarette. The first day I counted 15 cigarettes, approximately half of what I usually smoked. By day 12, I was down to two. I had my last cigarette on July 14. After 20 years as a smoker, I was free from the addiction, finding the smell of cigarettes unbearable. To anyone wanting to quit, all I can say is give your plan a go! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Paragraph 1:
It wasn’t an easy decision.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Eventually, I changed my course to English writing and suddenly I was enjoying university. ____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
It wasn’t an easy decision. I had two choices——either keep lying to myself or do a different degree. Changing course would make the past two years of university a waste of time and money. But I realized that though I’d hate myself for quitting, I’d hate myself more if I ended up being a terrible doctor. I was glad to move onto something new, but I had to deal with my parents’ constant disappointment and complaining about my future.
Eventually, I changed my course to English writing and suddenly I was enjoying university. I was still studying my brains out writing all night and through the weekend, but, this time, enjoying the pain. I’d spend hours perfecting a single paragraph until I was happy with it. Five hours feels like 20 seconds because I was having so much fun striking my head on the keyboard until good words come out. I started looking for internships that would give me experience in professional writing. Fortunately, I made it as an editorial assistant at a website.

这是一篇记叙文。观看手术对任何医科学生来说都是一件令人兴奋的事,但作者并不是这样的,他不想当医生,后来他做出了改变,幸运的是,作者最终成为了一个网站的编辑助理。
【详解】
1.第一段给出的首句是It wasn’t an easy decision.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“我有两个选择——要么继续欺骗自己,要么攻读一个不同的学位。改变课程会让过去两年的大学生活变成时间和金钱的浪费。”入手扩展开去,——无论从何角度拓展,需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。

4.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。
I was 28 years old, the age when most young people have their eyes firmly fixed on the promise of success but I was a failure. Six years earlier, fresh from college, I had joined a dramatic producing company, and had been going into small towns and rural communities producing country-style musical comedies. But,
in the summer of 1940, the country was in a depression, radio had changed people's tastes, and part-time shows weren't all that big any more. So , jobless and with nothing else in sight, I went back home. Later I got a job as a recreation-room director in my hometown. It paid $50 a month, for which I was grateful, but it sure was a dull job.
I felt so frustrated with my plan to be a dramatic star. Restless and dissatisfied though I was it was nice, in a way, to be back home. I tried to teach some of my town's children music and drama. And when I got a chance, I'd try my luck as a performer myself. I'd dress up as a country girl and tell little stories and jokes that I'd picked up during my years living around country folk. I gave this country girl a name-Minnie Pearl.
One October afternoon I was in the recreation room, waiting for the children when a banker friend, Jim Walker, came in and said, \"We're going to have a bankers' meeting here. I understand you've been teaching some children dramatics and dancing and singing. Would you let the children entertain the bankers? \"I said, yes. Suddenly, he turned and added, \"Oh, by the way, the speaker from Chicago is flying here. If he's late, would you mind doing that Minnie Pearl thing? \"I told Jim I'd do it.
That night the children sang and danced to old-time, popular songs when I was backstage. After we finished the performance, Jim came to me. \"The speaker's not here yet. You'll have to help us. \"\"All right, \"I told him, \"just give me a minute to dress up.\"

【答案】
Paragraph 1:
Then I went out in front of the hundred or so men in the audience. I said, \"I'd like to give you my performance of a country girl.\" I started telling them about the wonderful stories and jokes. And the bankers were laughing and applauding. When I ran out of stories, I looked over at Jim Walker, and he shook his head. So I started singing old country songs. At the end of the second song, Jim came over to me and said, \"The speaker's here. You can stop now. ”
Paragraph 2:
Then I walked off the stage into the audience, and a banker greeted me. He told me he knew Harry Stone, the manager of the great country music station in Nashville. Later he recommended me to Harry Stone. Harry Stone had me come up for an interview and offered me a good job. That changed my whole life. It was the beginning of Minnie Pearl, and, to me, the end of my \"failure\" and the beginning of a new way to share fun with others and look at things.

这是一篇读后续写。文章主要讲述了作者因为经济不景气回家当了娱乐室主任,教孩子们音乐和戏剧,同时自己也私下学着表演,一天朋友的到来让这一切有了改变。
【详解】
续写分为两段,第一段的开头是:我走上舞台,面对着上百人……所以应该接着写:我给观众们说:“我要为你们表演一个乡村女孩。”然后我给他们讲故事和笑话,看了我的表演所有人都捧腹大笑,并且热烈鼓掌。我看着Jim Walker,他示意发言人还没到。我决定唱歌,正当我要唱时,Jim Walker说:“发言人到了,你就表演到这儿。”第二段的开头是:然后我走下舞台,一个银行家向我打招呼……所以应该接着写:他说他很喜欢我的表演,如果我不介意的话,他可以把我介绍给他的朋友,这个朋友是一个表演公司的经理,我同意了。几天之后,我去这家公司面试,表演了乡村女孩Minnie Pearl,非常幸运地被录用了。从此之后我再也不是一个失败者了,我也明白了机会青睐有准备的人。

5.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。
I remember the first time I met Roy. He was telling a joke. When he reached the final line, everyone burst out laughing. “A popular boy, ”I thought to myself. My name is Daniel. I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later, Roy and I are still in the same class. But just under a year ago, Roy’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance. Roy changed completely. He started losing friends, including me.
About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom, I went inside to get it, and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet—and I knew it wasn’t his! Roy went bright red. “I’ll put it back right now, ”he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about£500. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I
went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there was about£500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there, holding the notes in my hand. At that moment, Roy walked in.

Paragraph 2
We went to the head teacher Mrs Smith, together.

【答案】
Seeing me stand there with the money in my hand, Roy felt panicked. I became very angry, asking him if it was the money that we raised last week. He went bright red, admitting that he had stolen it in a low voice. I slowly calmed down and hugged him, telling him that I would be willing to help him overcome his difficulty. He wept and then we had a sincere talk face to face. At last we agreed to return the money.
We went to the headteacher, Mrs Smith, together. In the teacher’s office, Roy returned the money to Mrs Smith, and guaranteed not to do such things again. Though Mrs Smith was so surprised that she couldn’t believe her eyes, she praised him for his courage and correction and told him if he had difficulty with finance she would be ready to help him. Roy was moved to tears. After that, we became good friends again. We trusted each other and shared sorrow and happiness together.

6.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。
I worked from the time when I was four and raised seven children, all of them college graduates. It seemed I'd done everything I'd ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn't spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old. Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can't read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a
ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.
By 1928, I'd been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. \"Elzenia,\" I said. \"I don't want the kids to know I can't read or write.\"
In 1938, one day my boss called me in. \"George,\" he said. \"No one knows those machines like you do. I'd like to promote you.\" But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, \"Fill out this application and we'll get you a raise.\" I couldn't admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn't stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.
A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It's information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I'm 98. I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn't read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I've wanted to read. It was high time for action.

7.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。
I was doing a big clean-up recently and my kids were helping when my son, Freddo, came across a knotted handkerchief with an old dark brown coin inside. “Mum, can I have this? Can I play with this Coin?” he asked I took one look and was immediately transported to another time.
In 1991, there was a time when my friend and I worked in a backward African country, Niger, hit by sandstorms and burning heat. There were many things I found difficult about this place—the climate and beggars were my biggest headaches. So after finishing five months of nursing work there, we moved on to work at a health clinic in neighbouring country, Burkina Faso. “It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better,” the locals assured us.
Yet the fact was quite the opposite. Arriving by taxi at our destination in Burkina, we began to unload. I was reaching for my larger piece of luggage when, out of the darkness, a motorbike with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of the men grabbed my daypack as the motorbike swept close by. Within seconds, the pair were out of sight, swallowed up by the night.
With my passport, money, traveller's cheques all in the bag, I was in deep trouble. How frustrating! All I wanted was to leave this hellhole! Then, walking through Burkina's streets one day, I was stopped by an old woman who thrust her hand in my face. “Cadeau (‘gift’ in French)! Cadeau!”she cried. I'd had enough! I was extremely tired of the country: its poverty, its thieves, the heat, the dust and...everything! I told her angrily and firmly in French, “I have no ‘cadeau’. I have no money. A thief stole all my money two weeks ago and now I can't get out of your country. I cannot give you anything. NOTHING!”The beggar woman listened attentively. To my great surprise, after hearing my words, she gave a broad smile.

She reached into the pockets of her dress.
_______________________________________________________________________________ There was slight touch on my hand; looking down, I saw my son looking at me,
curious.
________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
She reached into the pockets of her dress. “Then I will give you a cadeau,” she announced. Kindly, she placed an old, dark brown coin in my hand. In surprise, I looked at the coin, then at the woman. At that moment, I felt rather ashamed, ashamed of my terrible attitude towards the old woman. In spite of her poverty, she was able to give me something priceless. I had taken it for granted that beggars would only receive something from others, yet the coin from the beggar woman in Burkina truly changed my view towards them, and her smile hit the deepest of my heart.
There was a slight touch on my hand; looking down, I saw my son looking at me, curious. “Mum, can I have this? Can I play with this coin?” he repeated. “You can't play with it, honey” I touched my son on the head and said slowly, “This one's special. It is an unforgettable precious memory to me. Come and let me tell you a story.”
