Ⅲ.读后续写

(2021·山东济南质检)

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。

Brownie and Harry were neighbor dogs in Stowe，a beautiful and peaceful town in Lamoille County，Vermont，the United States，who met every day to play together，running after each other joyfully.Like pairs of dogs you can find in most any neighborhood，these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses.

One evening，Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home as usual.They went looking for him with no success.Brownie still didn’t show up the next day，and，despite their efforts to find him，by the next week he was still missing.

Curiously，the other dog，Harry，showed up at Brownie’s house alone one day.He barked，jumped and pestered(纠缠) Brownie’s human family，showing that he was filled with anxiety.Busy with their own lives，the family just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog and decided to let the missing dog go.

Harry refused to take “no” for an answer.Ted，Brownie’s owner，was steadily disturbed by the angry，determined little dog.One morning Harry followed Ted about，barking more insistently，then rushing toward a nearby empty lot and back，as if to say，“Follow me，please！It’s very urgent！”

Eventually，Ted went after the mad Harry across the empty lot as Harry paused to race back and bark encouragingly.The little dog led the man under a tree，past some tree jungles，to a lonely spot a half mile from the house.There Ted found his beloved Brownie，and he was alive，with one of his front legs falling into a steel trap.At that moment，Ted understood the strange behavior of Harry.

Feeling regretful，Ted now wished he had taken Harry’s earlier appeals seriously.However，Harry had done more than simply led Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend.Ted noticed something quite remarkable before him and was shocked that the amount of love that the dog has for his partner could be so outstanding.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

In a circle around the injured dog，there were some remains of meals.                   

Brownie was saved and taken home by his owner Ted.                                

参考范文

In a circle around the injured dog，there were some remains of meals.It turned out that Harry had been visiting Brownie regularly in order to keep his friend alive.Every day Harry took half of his dog food here to Brownie.Harry tried his best to beg the owner to ask for more leftovers and then he came out with the food.Each night Harry stayed with Brownie to protect him from other meat­eating animals，leaning close to Brownie to keep him warm and encourage him to keep his spirits up.

Brownie was saved and taken home by his owner Ted.His front leg was treated by an animal surgeon.He was attended so carefully and very soon he recovered.Every day Harry came to see him and played with him happily.For many years thereafter，the two families still watched the faithful friends having fun and chasing each other down that well­worn path between their houses.The two dogs not only set up their own friendship but also made the two families harmonious and close together.
