Passage 1

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。

My boyfriend and I had been dating for almost a year and both felt the time was right to join our lives together.

The month of January was spent planning our perfect summer wedding. My mother and I went to the closest town to buy a gown that would play the leading role on my special occasion. But after a day’s shopping, there was still no sign of the dress of my dreams. Before we gave up, we entered a little shop at the corner. The clerk showed us several beautiful gowns in my size, but none were right. Finally, she announced she had one more dress in the back that was expensive and not even my size, but perhaps I might want to look at it anyway. When she brought it out, I screamed in delight.

This was it!

Even though it was at least two sizes too large and more costly than I had expected, I talked Mom into buying it. I was sure I would be able to get it resized in my hometown.

A friend gave me the number of a lady named Maggie across town who worked at home doing alterations(修改). When I arrived at her house, she carefully inspected my dress and asked me to try it on. She put a handful of pins into the shoulders and sides of my gown and told me to pick it up in two days.

Thank goodness! The dress now fit as if it had been made especially for me.

But on Valentine's Day, my boyfriend called.

"Sandy, I've come to the decision that I'm not ready to get married," he announced, none too gently. "I want to travel and experience life for a few years before settling down."

He apologized for the inconvenience of leaving all the wedding cancellations to me and then quickly left town.

My world turned upside down. I was angry and heartbroken and had no idea how to recover. But days flew into weeks and weeks blended into months. I survived.

参考范文

One day, while standing in line at the supermarket, I heard someone calling my name. It was Maggie, the alteration lady. She politely inquired about my wedding, and was shocked to discover it had been called off, but agreed it was probably for the best. I thanked her for adjusting my wedding gown. With a sparkle in her eye, she began telling me about her single son, Tim. Even though I wasn't interested in dating again, she finally talked me into meeting Tim.

I did have my summer wedding, with Maggie’s son, only a year later. And I did get to wear the dress of my dreams down the aisle on the arm of my real “ Mister Right”, Tim, whom I would never have met without that special wedding gown. Till now, Tim and I have shared eighteen years of our happy life together, with our three children.
