Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。

I looked forward to a visit with my mom, who lived 2,000 miles from my home in California. Since Mom was 80 and suffered from Alzheimer’s (阿茲海默癥), I realized how important it was to see her again soon.

Mom received loving care from the Sister Servants of Christ the King at a 40-bed, basic-care facility (場所) in Edgeley, North Dakota. She lived in a simple room, spent most of her day doing simple things, and seemed to be “all right, “considering that dementia (癡呆) had set in.

When Mom came in, I smiled, hugged and kissed her, and said, “Nice to see you, Mom.” She didn’t recognize who I was! I was shocked.

Stressed out, I spent several hours trying to connect with my mother—talking with her, walking around the grounds, looking at family pictures in her room, chatting with the nuns (修女) —doing whatever I could think of to help Mom recognize her son. I hoped for a recognition “wonder”. But nothing I said or did worked, I was very annoyed.

The next morning, I suddenly had an idea. I thought of something that might stir her memory (記憶).I thought of strawberry milkshake (草莓奶昔). Yes, strawberry milkshake in Edgeley, North Dakota. So I took Mom to the Edgeley Coffee Shop. I wanted to treat her here. While Mom was looking at the menu, I took Sandy, the waitress, aside, quietly told her of Mom’s dementia condition and my plan to recall her long-term memory, and ordered two strawberry milkshakes.

The first paragraph: When Sandy delivered the milkshakes, I was too nervous to say a word.

The second paragraph: There’s a simple explanation for Mom’s memory.

注意：1. 所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；

2. 續(xù)寫部分分為兩段,每段的開頭語已為你寫好。

Answer 1

【答案】 When Sandy delivered the milkshakes, I was too nervous to say a word. My mother looked at me with the milkshake in her hand. I was a little bit disappointed, wondering what to do . I sat opposite my mother, drinking the strawberry milkshake as fast as I could, just as I was a child. She drank the milkshake slowly. After about three minutes, she stopped, looking at my empty cup, and then her full cup. And then she poured her milkshake into my cup ,saying，smiling,“Joseph, when did you come back here?” .

There’s a simple explanation for Mom’s memory. When I was a kid, my family was not rich enough to buy more strawberries. Even so, father would buy some as strawberry milkshake was the favorite of both my mother and me. Every time mother made the strawberry milkshake, my family would sit around the table, drinking and chatting. In fact , mother was always watching me drinking the milkshake. If I drank up mine, she would pour hers into my cup.

【解析】

本篇書面表達是讀后續(xù)寫。通過閱讀所給文章可知，作者80高齡的媽媽患了老年癡呆癥。當(dāng)作者去看望她時，她已經(jīng)認不出兒子了。作者嘗試了很多方法想幫助媽媽認出他，但是都不起作用。后來，作者突然有了一個想法，用草莓奶昔可能會喚起媽媽的記憶。于是到咖啡店里，告訴服務(wù)員Sandy關(guān)于媽媽老年癡呆的情況，并點了兩份草莓奶昔。

續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，第1段開頭是：當(dāng)Sandy把草莓奶昔拿來時，作者緊張得說不出話來。接下來應(yīng)該寫觀察媽媽看到自己喝草莓奶昔時的反應(yīng)。作者像小時候一樣，迅速把草莓奶昔喝完，媽媽就把她的奶昔倒進作者的杯子里。這時媽媽想起了作者的名字。

第2段開頭是：關(guān)于媽媽的回憶，有一個簡單的解釋。下面應(yīng)該寫一件讓媽媽回憶起兒子的印象深刻的事件。小時候，草莓奶昔是媽媽和作者都喜歡喝的。但是因為家境貧困，喝草莓奶昔的機會不多。每次家里喝草莓奶昔的時候，作者先喝完，媽媽就將自己的倒進作者的杯子里。是這個母愛的動作讓媽媽想起了兒子。

續(xù)寫時要注意所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)是150左右，按要求完成寫作任務(wù)。
