1．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not satisfied with life, I was upset. At this time, a young boy approached me. He stood right before me with this head tilting (倾斜)down, saying with great excitement, “Look what I found!”
In his hand was a flower with its petals (花瓣)all worn. What a pitiful sight it was! That’s because there was not enough rain or light. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I forced a small smile and then turned away. But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with certainty. He said, “ It surely smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it and it’s for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower and replied, “Just what I need.” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in midair without reason. It was then that I noticed for the first time the boy was blind.
I heard my voice shake and my eyes were full of tears as I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then walked off to play, unaware of the effect he had on my day.
I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. Meanwhile, I felt confused about the reason why he tried to make me happy by showing me the flower? Perhaps from his heart, he enjoyed the world with true sight.

2．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。
On a winter Sunday good for skiing, Sue arrived at their holiday chalet (棚屋) with joy. Sue’s skis were sticking out behind her. Mark, another skier, tripped over Sue’s skis. Before Sue could apologize, Mike shouted, “Your skis are in the way. You’ve got big smelly feet!” In view of his attitude, Sue ignored him. Mark lost face and was more angry.
The ski lift took all the skiers to the top of the mountain. The hard snow of the piste (滑雪道) was below them. Then Sue skied down the mountain. As a good skier, she didn’t fall over. Mark, along with his good friend David, was watching her with envy and anger. They were also good skiers but they didn’t know Sue very well. “She’s good,” David said. “But we’re better,” Mark responded with dissatisfaction.
The young people skied all day. They enjoyed themselves and forgot everything. On Wednesday morning, the young people were waiting for the ski lift when their teacher announced a ski race. The race would be arranged for the last day of the holiday on a long and difficult ten-kilometer piste. Everybody wanted to win! They went up the mountain, put on their skis and skied down the piste, practicing for the race. Sue skied fast, so did Mark and David. Obviously, these three became powerful opponents.
It was Saturday and the race was going to be held in the afternoon. Sue was hungry and left her skis at the side of a café. She sat down and ordered lunch. Later, David and Mark came in. They also headed to the side to put their skis there. Mark noticed Sue’s skis and aimed a kick angrily at them. Then he found a screw (螺丝) on Sue’s ski was loose, unsure whether it was caused by the force or it was like that originally. “Sue’s skis won’t work. We’re sure to win,” Mark said and pointed. They smiled knowingly at each other.

A Change of Heart
It was a cold December and things were tough for my family. Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community of New Westminster as dad passed away five years earlier. We relied on social assistance.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would place a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles (鞋底) were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those days, and it didn’t look like we’d be in our current house much longer. Rent was $25 a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas on the first of January.
The holidays were fast approaching, and we were entitled to $25 for Christmas from social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our rent. That way we’d have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us that there would be no Christmas gifts.
Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees, shoveling (铲) snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch, Top-Genuine, Pierre Paris boots, and they cost $23.
The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very excited as I hurried up the road to catch the bus into town. It was only a half-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations and no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner.

4．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。
“What a crabby-looking lady (怨妇),” the cashier at my local convenience store whispered to her coworker. I was grabbing something off the shelf. I had a half dozen kids waiting for me outside in the van, and here’s the thing: they were all my own children. No time for polite. No casual conversation with the checkout lady, no nod of approval toward the stock boy, no breathing. Just get the toilet paper, two gallons of milk and some Frosted Flakes and get back to my children!
But my interest was aroused by the crabby-looking lady. Which one was she? Taking a family pack of toilet paper under my arm, I scanned the tiny store for the crabby lady. Let’s see, there’s a middle-aged guy checking on pork, an older gentleman at the checkout purchasing an egg salad sandwich and a coffee, and... just then I saw her, the crabby-looking lady.
Her eyes were small; her brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail so tight that it looked like her forehead would drop. Her mouth was shut serious. This lady looked like she had smelled something really bad. Then, I turned away from my own reflection in the convex security mirror (安全反射镜) at the back of the store. The crabby-looking lady... was me!
That night, I cried. I was the crabby-looking lady! Me! The girl once voted nicest smile by her high school class! Things must get changed! Right then and there I resolved to do one thing over the next year. One simple resolution: to smile. I didn’t need to wait for January 1st — I would start right now.
I resolved to smile at anyone and anything, even though they would let me down. And I also resolved to make a conscious effort to smile, at least ten times a day.

5．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。
For years Grandpa taught me chess on a well-worn chessboard, the bottom of which was covered with dozens of names and dates.
“What’s this, Grandpa?” I asked one day.
“These are the men from World War I, passing the time with me on the front line. Whenever someone beat me, I let them write their name on it.”
“This fellow, Sergeant Paul Ward, saved me from German soldiers,” Grandpa pointed to a name, “and carried me off the field. While both of us were in hospital, he beat me at chess.”
He handed the chessboard to me saying, “I want you to have it now. That’s the way it is in life: we pass our love on to the next person.
Sadly, it wasn’t long before Grandpa passed away.
Later I volunteered to be the social worker for a retirement community in a park, where I observed elderly residents sitting alone silently, heads down.
Several stone tables in the park had chessboards imprinted on them. One day, I set up my chess pieces and waited.
An elderly man cautiously approached.
“Care for a game?” I cheerfully inquired.
The man smiled weakly and sat down.
“Your move... um, didn’t catch your name.”
“Paul,” he said.
“Your move, Paul.”
He hesitated, as if not sure how to proceed. I tried not being aggressive in my play, but only delayed his defeat.
He sighed, “It’s been long since I played. Will you come tomorrow?”
“Yes, and every day after that.”
The next day when I arrived, Paul was already there, playing another elderly gentleman. I set up my pieces on a table waiting for others.
Soon our play extended to a merry club of chess-playing seniors, twenty people showing up each day and many more watching.
I didn’t played Paul after our first game but he came every day playing chess with others.
We ran short of chessboards, so I decided to bring Grandpa’s.
Paul approached once I set up the board. Staring at the chessboard thoughtfully, he said, “How about a rematch?”

When I told Paul Grandpa’s custom about this chessboard and asked him to write his name on the back, Paul smiled and said, "No need.”

6．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。
I sit on the edge of my bed, faint smiles sliding across my face, as I sort through old photographs. I hold each memory briefly in my hands before dropping them onto the pile in my lap and searching for the next happy moment to remember. Each picture brings up feelings deep within me.
As I relive the memories, I can't help but notice one photo in particular buried deep in the box. The picture at first glance is lovely. The sun was shining with not a cloud to be seen. I was sting with my arm around a happy-looking girl, her arm rested casually on my shoulders. As I focus on the happy girl, the smile that covers my face becomes a frown. It is Amy Soule, my now ex-best friend. A terrible pang (一阵剧痛) of regret flashes through me, and I feel tightness in my throat.
Our decline in friendship began with different interests. She wanted to go to the mall and shop, while I preferred to watch old movies in my spare time. Soon the only time I saw her was when we exchanged a hurried hello in the busy school halls between classes. No more notes were passed behind the teacher's back, and my parent's phone bill became much cheaper. She found a new group of friends, and so did I. Before I had a chance to repair the friendship, she moved away, causing the crack to become an uncrossable rift.
I made excuses for not keeping in touch. It was too far to visit, too long of a drive. I knew that was not the truth, but I was too nervous to pick up the phone and call. Eventually, the rift grew too large to bridge. Amy had left and she had taken a huge chunk of my heart with her.
I stand up and pull myself back into the now. Glancing up at my calendar, I remember that Amy's birthday is around the corner. In fact, we were born in the same room, two days apart. We started so close and ended up so far. This bittersweet memory causes me to smile despite my feelings of regret.

7．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。
On a cold windy day, a poor boy tried to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door. Wandering on the street, he was not a successful seller. What’s worse, he found that he only had one dime left. His empty stomach reminded him constantly that for days he hadn’t eaten anything. He had no choice but to beg for a meal at the next house. Hesitantly he knocked at a door, thinking about what to say when it was opened. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. “What can I do for you?” asked the young woman. The boy paused for a while, “Would you please give me some...a drink of water?” the boy dared not to look directly into her eyes. She looked at the bony boy and thought he might need something to give him energy so she brought him a glass of milk. His head rising and small hands taking the cup, he drank it up slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied with a warm smile on her face. “My mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.”Deeply moved, he said sincerely, “Then I shall thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the whole human race. As a matter of fact, he was about to give up and quit before that point.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. However, the local doctors were unable to give an effective medical treatment. Finally they sent her to a hospital in the big city, where specialists can be called in to cure her rare disease. Among those famous specialists, Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.

After six hours of fishing, John Franklin and his sister Jane were ready to call it a day. It was 7 pm. The summer sun was setting, and the fishes had stopped biting. But Jane’s 12-year-old son Conrad was having so much fun that he begged “Let’s do just one more run,” Since the mild weather was holding out, why not? John turned the boat around and headed back.
Yet, you never knew. They hadn’t even cast their lines when the wind picked up suddenly. Rough waves began battling against the little boat. “Check your life jackets and hold the boat!” John shouted, As Jane and her son were on the point of screaming, two big waves rolled over, one right after the other. Within a few seconds, the boat tipped(倾斜). Backward and turned over, throwing three of them into the water.
Out of the worst, the luckiest thing was that they had life jackets on and the boat didn’t sink immediately. Everyone grabbed onto it. “Let’s get back in the boat, Mommy,” Conrad cried, trembling with fear.
“Don’t panic. People know we’re out here,” Jane comforted him. “They’ll send help soon.”
Treading(踩) the water, the adults exchanged worried looks. They were floating in the middle of nowhere. “I knew we were in a tight spot,” said John, a third-generation commercial fisherman who, like Jane, had been raised on the bay.
When a strong wind blew through about half an hour with no sign of dying down, they had to make some decisions. It had been a perfect July day, with the water at a temperate 20 degrees centigrade, but everyone was cold by 9 pm.
If they weren’t rescued soon, they might not survive the night, John recognized, but the closest shoreline was about three miles away, starred by only a few glowing house lights.

Raju’s family was the smallest family on the coastal line of Kanyakumari. Raju was 10 years old. He was tall, dark and handsome and had a lot of dreams. He had always dreamt of living in a city. He was always his dad’s charm, as he was not quite happy to spend time with his mom. All he could remember about his mom was her scars, red and white scars on her face, neck and hands. He always felt unpleasant to see his mom’s face. But what he did not know was that his mom scratched her beauty to save him from a fire when he was one year old. Not wanting to burden him with it, Raju’s parents kept it a secret.
His mom Kamala used to drop him to school and pick him up every day. He felt awkward to see his mom with that scarred face standing in front of the school gate. As he was laughing and chatting with his fellow school mates, all of them became silent and started staring at the gate. So, Raju turned towards the gate with a lot of curiosity. He froze when seeing his mom, face covered with a piece of cloth. Raju felt ashamed and rushed out of the school with lots of anger.
With days passing by, Raju started to dislike his mom more. He did not like to get picked up or dropped by his mom. He felt that she was ugly and so abnormal. As he grew old, he stopped going out with her to the market or anywhere outside. Kamala tried her best to make her son happy, got him everything that he wanted and gave him his space. She understood what her son was going through and felt pity for herself and sad for her son, as she was helpless.
When Raju turned 15, he was sent to a city high school 67 kilometers away from his coastal village. The very thought of not being with his ugly mother made him very happy.
Three years later, then came Raju’s graduation ceremony. His parents didn’t want to be absent from such an important occasion, so they managed to be there without informing Raju.

10．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。
Our church charity in Toronto has a way of assisting those who have financial difficulties without making the receiver feel ashamed or guilty. They often dropped money into an offering box with only the name of the receiver on the envelope.The envelopes are then distributed to those members without them knowing the name of the giver.
There came a time when my husband and I were among those in need. We did not talk about our financial difficulty with anyone.The only reason our children knew was that we had to cut back on many things. Still, we hoped they were not aware of the extent of our need, nor of how much their father and I were suffering because of it.We did not want to burden them with a problem they could do nothing to solve.
Unfortunately, our situation wasn’t improving, and my husband and I knew that we would have to look for outside help. Just as we reached the point of desperation, our church gave us a gift envelope that had been left in the offering box.We were overjoyed to receive a very large amount of money, enough to bring us through that desperate time.We couldn’t help but wonder who had given such a generous gift. We were extremely relieved and grateful.
A year later, our seventeen-year-old son was applying for a student loan so he could attend university. It was then that we discovered his savings account was almost empty.His father and I were very disturbed by this.We had trusted him to put part of his wages from his part-time job into the bank towards his education.Actually,from the time he was nine years old he had been a paper carrier for The Toronto Star, and he had worked very hard for his small earnings to achieve his university dream.

参考答案：
1．Through the kindness of the blind child, I learned something new. I could see the problem was not connected with the world, but me. And for all of those times I had been blind, I swore to see beauty and love every second just as the little boy did. I held the flower and watched the boy playing happily with his friends for a long time. And I knew it was time to change myself.
Then I stood up and walked to the boy. I went down and held him around with my arms, telling him slowly, “Little boy, it was the most beautiful flower in the world that you gave me today. And it was you who taught me how to appreciate my life with that magic flower. I won’t feel upset any more. Instead, I will hug every moment in my future.” The little boy hugged me and smiled at me sweetly like the most beautiful flower in the world.

2．Paragraph 1:
Finally came the time of the race and everyone was excited. With the referee saying “Get set, go”, all skiers raced down. Unsurprisingly, Sue fell over seconds later. Noticing the loose screw, she slid across the snow and off the piste. During this period, David and Mark skied past. Mark shouted to David, “We’re going to win.” Luckily, it was not a tough problem for Sue. She quickly tightened the screw, made an examination of the rest and skied again. Minutes later, she was ahead of most competitors. Now, the only one before her was Mark, whom she was determined to beat.
Paragraph 2:
Maybe feeling guilty or nervous, Mark made a mistake and fell down when Sue approached him. Seeing Mark struggled to stand up, Sue stopped and gave him a pull. Much astonished, Mark murmured, “Thank you.” Sue left with a wave of the hand. Two players passed just the moment. Sue sped up with all her strength. Soon she crossed the finish line first to thunderous applause. “Congratulations!” Mark came to Sue. “I should apologize for my words and behavior.” Knowing what had happened, Sue was a little angry, but anyway, it was in the past, “Never mind. I’ve also learned the lesson that examining my skis is necessary,” Sue joked. “And maybe we could ski together later.” “Totally agree!”

Para. 1:
As I continued walking, I began to feel a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots, while Mum was probably home in tears, thinking of ways to explain why there were no presents. How was I supposed to be happy if everyone else in the family was not? Thinking of this, the idea of buying the beautiful boots I had wanted for so long didn’t seem as fascinating as before. As I arrived at the bus stop, the driver opened the door, waiting for me to get on. I stood there for what seemed like a century, until eventually the driver asked, “Son, are you getting on this bus or not?” I finally burst out without hesitation, “No thanks, sir. I’ve changed my mind.”
Para. 2:
The bus drove off without me, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, I knew what I had to do next. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. Into the store I went, brimming with happiness and excitement. I bought a turkey, ham, oranges and all the Christmas decorations. I spent every coin of my hard-earned money. Once I arrived home with all those purchases, I knocked on the door. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! When Mum opened the door, some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor, and she just stood there, too stunned to speak. Holding back the tears, I exclaimed, “Merry Christmas, Mother! There really is a Santa Claus!” To see my mother’s prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got. It was a Merry Christmas for us after all!

4．One possible version:
The first day of “Mission Smile” I practiced smiling as planned. I smiled at a strange dog who peed on my daughter’s new school shoes while she was in them, the salesman to the door, three of my six children, a librarian who asked me if I was aware of the global overpopulation problem, and my bathtub. I even smiled at my husband over the phone when he called to say he’d be late from work. And I smiled at myself in the mirror twice, just to remind myself what a smile looked like.
After practicing a month, unexpectedly, something different happened. I didn’t even try to find things to smile at and I’d still notice smile take over my face. When my daughter loaded the dishwasher with her socks, I smiled. When we were really late for church, I smiled. One day I was meeting a couple of friends at a local coffee shop. I overheard the cashier remark to her co-worker, “What a happy-looking lady!" And I didn’t even have to look around to know who she was talking about. It was me!

5．One possible version:
Once we began, I saw Paul not only have his chess skills refined but also show a change of mental state. He had excellent performance, employing an effective planning method that helped him come up with a good strategy in almost any position. A few minutes later, I was defeated/checkmated. Looking me in the eye, he swept a trembling hand over the board and said, “Before you came along, I’d had my life given up. But since I played with you, I’ve reconnected with old friends and made new ones. The chess club may have saved my life.”
When I told Paul Grandpa’s custom about this chessboard and asked him to write his name on the back, he smiled and said, “No need.” He went on, “My Last name’s Ward. Paul Ward. It’s on the upper right-hand corner of the chessboard. Find it.” I flipped the chessboard over and there it was: Sergeant Paul Ward 6/10/44. What a coincidence! At that moment, Grandpa’s words flooded over me — “This fellow … carried me off the field.” Paul Ward was the very soldier who had saved my grandfather’s life. And now, years later, Grandpa’s love and passion for chess had returned the favor. As the saying goes, one good turn deserves another.

6．    Suddenly I have an idea. Without the slightest hesitation, I drop to my knees and begin to wildly search through my desk drawers. At last, I lay my hands on an old picture frame I have had forever. I pick up the fallen photo of Amy and me, snapping it into the frame. Praying that this framed photograph will prompt her to take a sudden trip back to our happy moment, I write a simple note, saying “Happy birthday, Amy!”

I hold the frame tightly in my arms, determined not to let this golden chance slip through my fingers. “It’s not much, but it’s a start,” I said to myself, “and the space between us is already smaller.” This time I will not hesitate to be the one to reach out and build a bridge.

8．Looking at the lights in the distance, John asked his sister in a low voice, “Should I do it?” “Yeah, do it. We will take care of ourselves here.” Jane encouraged. Pushing away from the boat, John focused on alternating swim stroked as his muscles started to burn soon. Strong tides pushed him up the shoreline, and then pulled him in the opposite direction. Many times John doubted whether it was a right choice. What if he failed halfway? But he continued, meters after meters, driven by the image of his family drifting helplessly back at the boat.
About three hours later, John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights. Exhausted, he pulled himself out of water, staggered along and called for help. Hearing John’s desperate cries, people in the cottage rushed out immediately. Realizing what had happened, they swung into action. Soon, a search party jumped into a boat, heading for Jane and the boy. Luckily, they were pulled from the bay in time, miraculously unharmed. Jane knew it was thanks to her brother. “He’s my hero,” she said. “He always has been.”

10．     I asked him repeatedly where the money had gone. At first he would not tell me, which made me even angrier. I would not let the matter alone. I kept hounding him, determined to find out where the money had gone. I also asked his other brothers about the money, but no one knew. Afterwards, I planned to consult the bank about the account of my son. However, I was busy with my working, so I didn’t go to the bank all the time.
Several busy days later, there appeared an envelope in the box. In the letter, my son admitted that the year before he had put his savings in the offering box for his father and me. After reading the letter, I stood there speechless, tears filling my eyes. It had taken my son years to save that money. He had given it to us willingly—without telling us what he had done.
