第二节 读后续写

I extended my hands. They tentatively sucked at my fingers. Perhaps hunger had helped overcome their natural fear. Then one by one, I placed them in a fur bag and headed back down the slope. When the mother wolf spotted me, she stood up right. Possibly picking up the smell of her young, she let out a high-pitched, mournful whine. I released the pups, and they raced to her. Within seconds, they were sucking at her belly.

With her pups under her belly to protect, she was becoming aggressive. What next? I wondered. So tender were the pups that it was impossible for them to survive without mother’s protection. Hence, I had to release her. I fetched an iron bar. Using a rock as the supporting point I unlocked the chain. After gaining freedom, she howled at me with her head low showing gratitude. Watching the mother and her pups disappear in the forest, I let out a sigh of relief.

Text 1 

W: Can I help you, sir?

M: Yes, do you have this shirt in size M? In the same blue color please. It matches my shoes well. (1)

Text 2 

M: Eventually, you’ll be old like me, Helen. Now, you have less responsibility — so enjoy it.

W: That’s true, Grandpa. I’m just stressed about my grades and school friends.

M: All students do — just try to enjoy your work and don’t worry. (2)

Text 3 

M: Is your school organizing a year-end trip like last year?

W: Unfortunately not. After the problems they had in France, they’ve decided not to do one this year.

M: That is a shame. Traveling is very educational. I’ll write to the headmaster and give advice. (3)

Text 4 

M: How on earth is Gary still working for this company? He is late for everything — his meetings, his reports and he’s coming back later from his lunch breaks than others.

W: I know. I agree. (4) But we’d better give him a chance to correct his mistakes.

Text 5  

M: I’ll take a large iced coffee, please.

W: It’s $2.00.

M: Oh, I’d also like one blueberry cake.

W: Sure. Your total is $5.50. (5) I’ll have your coffee ready in a minute.

Text 6 (第6题为推断题)

M: What are you going to do this afternoon? Would you like to shop with me?

W: Well, I’m going to practice baseball with my friend later.

M: What time is your baseball practice this evening? (7)

W: Helen asked me to practice at her house at 5:00 p.m. (7)

M: That’s fine. I can drop you off there after we finish shopping. You might be a bit early. Can you ask Helen if that’s okay?

W: Sure. Shall I call her?

M: Of course.

W: But my phone is in the car. I’ll call her later.

Text 7 (第10题为推断题)

W: Mike, can you get out first and tell me if I’ve parked between the lines? I might have to back up and try again.

M: OK. Well, the right tire(轮胎) is right on the line, but the spot next to you is a parking space that is meant for someone in a wheelchair.

W: This spot is too small for our car, anyway. (8) Come on. We’ll park somewhere else. (8)

M: Are you sure you want to take the chance, Lisa? It’s a holiday weekend, and I doubt whether there are better spaces available.

W: Fine. I’ll be careful when I’m opening the door.

M: So, you take Jenny to get some sports shoes first, (9) and I’ll take Roger in for his haircut. I’ll be able to pick up your medicine at the drugstore while he’s in there.

W: Oh, thanks. We can meet up at the food court for lunch in…say an hour?

M: Perfect.

M: Are you sure it’s safe to drive in this fog? (11) You might lose all sense of direction when you drive through the forest.

W: It should be okay. It’s just coming in from the sea. Once I’m on the road, it should clear.

M: How long do you think you’ll be driving?

W: Well, it’s a six-hour trip, but I’ll stop for lunch and a coffee to keep me awake.

M: And when will you come back?

W: Probably on Sunday, or maybe on Monday. It depends on whether I get the photos I need. And if it rains, I might need an extra day. It’s dangerous to climb mountains after raining. (12)

M: Okay. Are you sure you don’t need my help?

W: No, I’ll be fine on my own.

M: Call me once you get to your hotel. (13)

W: I will. It’s up in the mountains so the signal might not be great. (12) But I’ll try my best.

M: They’ll have Internet access. If you can’t call, just send me an email. (13)

W: Will do.

M: Okay, take care.

W: Bye.

Text 9 (第14题为总结题)

M: Great news! The organizers of The Christmas Market have given us the green light to perform some songs at the market in December. (16)

W: Brilliant! That will really help to raise our theater’s company image.

M: I know. The Christmas Market is really busy. Hundreds of people shopping there will hear our company singing.

W: And it will help boost the new members’ confidence.

M: Even better... The lead actors are happy to sing at The Christmas Market too! They’re both famous enough to attract many journalists, (15) and hopefully that will mean increased ticket sales!

W: Okay, it’s very exciting, (16) so we need to make sure that everything is prepared. We’ll need a tight practice schedule between now and December. If we’re going to go public with some of our material, it’s got to look really good!

M: Absolutely. And we need to make the costume department work hard so all the actors will look convincing.

W: Right. I’m going to call a meeting with the sound and lighting engineers to check out the location. It’s important that the visuals and the sound quality are perfect on that day! (17)

Text 10 

Many people ask me where my inspiration comes from, or how I’ve managed to write a book every year for the last 20 years. Since you all wish to be writers, (18) I will share these so-called secrets, but I’ll answer the second one first. How do I write so many books? It’s easy to answer. I see writing as a job. (19) Many writers start writing because they love reading, not because they love writing. When you are working on a project, you have targets to hit along the way. So just imagine that your book is a project at work. (19) You know roughly how many words long it will be. Let’s say 100,000 words. If you write 1000 a day, you will finish your book in just over three months. It is not difficult to write 1000 words. Most of you have written university papers four or five times that length. You can write more than 1000 words a day. As long as you write at least 1000 words a day, you will have a book written in no time. Well, back to the first question — where did I get my ideas? (20) The answer is everywhere. I read newspapers and magazines. I spend lots of time on social media and that’s where a lot of my ideas come from. (20) Our world is full of stories, and when you find one that you feel strongly about, that’s what you should write about.
