Ⅱ.读后练写

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。

After a very long wait，Mother and I were relieved to see our dog delivered 6 puppies！The sixth was the smallest and black and white.I named her “Precious”．I picked her up and laid her on top of the large pile of puppies，who were trying to suckle(吃奶)．Mother dog immediately pushed Precious away from the rest of the group.She refused to recognize Precious as a member of her family.

“Something’s wrong，” said Mother.

I reached over and picked up Precious.My heart sank when I saw the little puppy had a cleft lip(唇裂) and could not close her little mouth.Precious would die because she could not suckle.

I purchased a syringe(注射器) and fed Precious by holding it.I did this every day and night，for more than ten days.The little puppy survived and learned to eat on her own as long as it was soft food.

Vacation was over and my new school life would begin.So I placed an ad for the puppies on the Internet.Within several days，all had been picked up by their new families，except Precious.I decided to keep her and give her an operation if my parents saved enough money.

That night at around seven thirty，Mother and I were eating supper when we heard a knock on the front door.When I opened the door，there was a lady with her son standing behind.After knowing the purpose of their coming，I explained to them there were no puppies left.

Just at that moment，Precious left in the bedroom began to bark.

“My puppy！My puppy！” yelled the little boy as he ran out from behind his mother.

I just about fell over when I saw that the small child also had a cleft lip.

The boy ran past me as fast as he could，down the hall to where the puppy was still barking.Holding the puppy in his arms，he looked up at his mother and said，“Look，Mummy.They found homes for all the puppies except the pretty one，and it looks just like me！”

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

The boy bent there pressing his cheek against the small puppy.                       

One year later，I was so surprised when that boy with Precious came to me.            

参考范文

The boy bent there pressing his cheek against the small puppy.Seemingly understanding what was happening，“the pretty one” licked the boy’s face again and again.I even saw the bright smiles on his face.“They are the perfect pair！”I thought.Moved by the warm scene deeply，I decided to give them the puppy for free when the mother inquired the price，though I was so devoted to my puppy！When they said goodbye with the puppy to me，I hoped the pair could have a warm and happy life.

One year later，I was so surprised when that boy with Precious came to me.Both of their cleft lips disappeared！Precious rushed to me the moment she saw me.After hearing their story，I knew he came to me specially to express his gratitude.“The pretty one” really gave him happiness and lifted his spirits in the hard time.“We are in one！” the boy said，holding the puppy tightly.Any worries I’d had about the puppy’s future were gone.Now the image of the little boy and his matching puppy still stays with me.My Precious has found her precious companion.
