Finally we reached the head of the line.One of Santa's helpers waved Leah up

to Santa and lifted her lightly onto his knee.Within seconds he had her chatting

like they were old friends．Leah shyly handed him her note．Santa adjusted his glasses

and read it over very carefully before placing it on the shelf beside him.Leah jumped off his lap and ran into my arms.

The coming days were filled with the last－minute preparations for the

holiday.It was all worth it as I watched Leah tear joyfully into her presents on

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 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 readthealphabet．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 wenttoschool，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 admitthetruth．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 adulteducationclasses. People can learn to read and write. Now I'm 98. I thought

of my friends and neighbors 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.

The young man drove me to an old building.I knew it well—it was where all my children had gonetoschool．I looked into the classroom to get a look at who I would

be going to school with the next day.The students all looked like babies to me.There was a lady in her fifties but most of the rest were in their twenties and thirties.I went back to the school the next day.I'd been inside the building so many times before with my children.That old building looked the same，and it smelled the same.But this time it was different because this time it was going to be my school.First came learning thealphabet，then words.In three months，I was reading.It was not very

exciting，but I loved it.

I'm still going to school.I didn't stop there.After all，now I know why I'm

here.I'm here to learn．I'm here to tell the students it's never too late.

said he did not mind.It amused him to think that the dear old Grand Hotel was making an effort to live up to its name.

During the first day Mr.Smith hardly noticed thenoise at all.The room was a

little dusty，but that was natural.The following afternoon，he borrowed a book from the hotel library and went upstairs to read.No sooner had he sat down than he heard someone hammering loudly at the wall.At first he paid no attention，but after a while he began to feel very uncomfortable.His clothes were slowly being covered with fine whitepowder．Soon there was so much dust in the room that he began to cough.The

hammering was now louder than ever and bits of plaster were coming away from thewalls．It looked as though the whole building was going to fall.Mr.Smith went

immediately to complain to the manager.They both returned to the room，but everything was very quiet.As they stood there looking at each other，Mr.Smith felt rather embarrassed for having dragged the manager all the way up the stairs for nothing. 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

My 14－year－old son，John，and I spotted thecoat at the exactly same time. It

was hanging on a rack at a second－hand clothing store.While the other coats drooped，this one looked as if it were holding itself up.The coat，with a Fifth Avenue label，116

soft and unworn，had a black velvet collar，beautiful tailoring and was popular just then with teenage boys，charging an unbelievable price of $28.

John's eyes gleamed.He turned from side to side，eyeing himself in the mirror

with a serious，studied expression that soon changed into a smile.The fit was perfect．

John wore the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big grin.“Did the kids like your coat？”I asked.

“They loved it，”he said，carefully folding it over the back of a chair and

smoothing it flat.I started calling him “Lord Chesterfield” and “The Great Gatsby”．Over the next few weeks，a change came over John.Agreement replaced

contrariness(作对)，quiet，reasoned discussion replaced argument.He became more mannerly，more thoughtful，eager to please.

“Good dinner，Mom，” he would say every evening. He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him on the nice ties of behavior；without a

word of objection，he would carry in wood for the stove.

One day when I mentioned these incidents to one of his teachers and remarked

that I didn't know what caused thechanges．She said laughing，“It must be his coat！”

Another teacher told him she was giving him a good mark not only because he had earned it but because she liked his coat.

At the library，we ran into a friend who had not seen our children in a long

time.“Could this be John？” he asked，looking up to John's new height，assessing

the cut of his coat and extending his hand，one gentleman to another.

本文是一篇记叙文。作者的儿子在穿上新外套后，从一个叛逆少年变成了一个在行为上对自己有约束和要求，事事做到完美的好孩子。这个大的转变让作者本人对以往的不要以貌取人的观念有了新的认识。续写部分要求考生按照这个思维模式，在理解前文的基础上利用开头语和文中提示词写作，考生不仅要注意词汇和语言结构的准确使用、语言的润色等，还要使后文的升华和前文统一起来，使文章一气呵成。备考时考生要做到多读、多思考、多沉淀、多拓展。

【参考范文】

John and I both know we should never mistake a person's clothes for the real

person within them.But thechanges taking place to John put me onto another level

of how to judge another person and how to have perfect behavior.Why not wear a

standard of excellence for the world to see？That way，every dawn we open eyes，beginning

with practicing standards of excellence in thought，speech，and behavior，

till the moment the head touches the pillow.Everything we think is how to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside to make us a real gentleman．To some extent，the delight of behaving well itself is a reward.

The whole world，the whole future is stretched out ahead，a vast landscape where

all the doors are open.And if only I could be a teenager again！It was a time when

we could try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.Wearing my wonderful，magical coat，I would picture myself walking through those doors with

a light heart as a gentleman－to－be，heading forward confidently no matter what the future will be like.

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。

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of

him.When class began，wordlessly he picked up a large emptyglassjar and proceeded

to fill it with rocks right to the top，rocks about two inches in diameter.

He then asked thestudents if the jar was full.They agreed that it was.

Theprofessor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.He

shook the jar lightly.The pebbles，of course，rolled into the open spaces between the rocks.The students laughed.

He asked his students again if the jar was full.They agreed：yes，it was.

The professor then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course，the sand filled up all the remaining spaces.

“Now，” said the professor，“I want you to recognize that this is your life.”

The rocks are themostimportantthings—your family，your partner，your health，

your children—anything that is so important to you that if it were lost，you would

be nearly destroyed.The pebbles are the other things in life that matter，but on

a smaller scale.The pebbles represent things like your job，your house，your car.The sand is everything else—the smallstuff．

If you put the sand or the pebbles into the jar first，there is no room for the rocks.The same goes for your life.If you spend all your energy and time on the small stuff，or material things，you will never have room for the things that are truly most important.Pay attention to the things that are critical in your life.Play with your children.Take your partner out dancing.Talk with your parents．There will always

be time to go to work，clean the house，give a dinner party and fix the disposal.“Take care of the rocks first—the things that really matter.Set your priorities．The rest

is just pebbles and sand.They will take care of themselves.”
