41、rs identity.But the wallet contained only three dollars and a letter that looked as if it had been there for many years.The envelope was so worn that I could read only the return address on it.I opened the letter,hoping to find some clues.I found the letter was written almost 60 years ago.It was wri

42、tten in a beautiful handwriting with a little flower in the lefthand corner.It was to a man named Michael Goldstein,saying that the writer couldnt see him any more because her mother didnt allow it.Even so,she wrote that she would always love him.It was signed,Hannah.I felt sad because I couldnt get

43、 useful information.After searching for the return address on the envelope,I finally found that Hannah was now in a nursing home.I drove over to the nursing home.A nurse and a guard greeted me at the door.Knowing my purpose,the nurse led me to the third floor.In the day room,she introduced me to Han

44、nah.She was a sweet,silverhaired old lady.I told her about the wallet and showed her the letter.The second she saw the envelope with that little flower,she took a deep breath and said,“Young man,this letter was the last contact I had with Michael.He was so handsome.He looked like Sean Connery,the ac

46、 gave me a story.注意：续写词数应为150左右。I took out the wallet,which was a simple brown leather case with red lacing on the side._On the eighth floor,I saw a man reading a book in the day room,who happened to be Michael Goldstein._【优秀范文】Possible version 1：(用哲理式结尾续写)I took out the wallet,which was a simple br

47、own leather case with red lacing on the side.The instant he saw the wallet,the guard yelled out,“Id seen it before！”Hearing this,I jerked my head to him,mouth open.Excitement and rejoicing took my mind.He told me that there was no other man owning a red lacing wallet and that he,Michael,happened to

48、live on the eighth floor.Shocked and thrilled,I gave a short gasp and dashed back to the elevator,heart racing widely.On the eighth floor,I saw a man reading a book in the day room,who happened to be Michael Goldstein.When I showed him the wallet,his gloomy eyes turned bright.“Hannah still loves you

50、 absent.【解析】该篇文章的结尾处理得很好，通过哲理性的语言结尾点明中心，升华主题。这个续写段落在构思情节时，步步推进，环环相扣。特别是第一段的The instant he saw the wallet,the guard yelled out,“Id seen it before！”。作者在充分阅读完所给材料之后，注意到所给材料最后一段给续写内容设定了写作的场景，即nursing home的一楼楼梯出口保安询问“我”是否有任何收获。所以，“我”拿出钱包是为了给保安看，作者很巧妙地让保安接话，然后从保安口中得知很凑巧在这个养老院里，有一个叫Michael Goldstein的老人家，他也

51、有一个镶着红色蕾丝边的钱包。由此，“我”带着希望和惊讶，冲到了八楼，希望能见到这个让Hannah爱了60年的男子，并把这份深藏的爱传递给他。到了八楼，当Michael Goldstein看见钱包时，作者对他进行了深刻的肖像描写及一系列的动作描写，如His gloomy eyes turned bright.His voice abandoned him.特别是当他颤抖地拿起信时的四个动作：took out,stared at,stroked,murmured，这一系列动作将男主人公的爱展露无遗。特别是stroke(抚平，抚摸)，这个动作透出了太多的隐藏信息，不仅是抚平信件，也是抚平内心的焦虑，

52、更是抚平过往。正如作者所言，爱会迟到，但永远不会缺席。上述续写段落使用由事及理的方法，先讲述一件具体的事件，在结尾处揭示这件事蕴含着的深刻哲理爱会迟到，但永远不会缺席。事件是哲理的基石和依托，哲理则是事件内核的深化和升华。结尾的哲理虽然占的篇幅极小，但它常常会使一件平凡小事变得耐人寻味，熠熠生辉，起到画龙点睛的效果。Possible version 2：(用以景结情式结尾)I took out the wallet,which was a simple brown leather case with red lacing on the side.Gazing at the wallet,unc

53、ertainly the guard told me that it might belong to Michael Goldstein.Surprise descending on me,I gaped at him,nervously asking where he was.At the moment he pointed at a room on the eighth floor,I dragged myself ahead with my heart beating wildly,even without leaving a“Thank you”On the eighth floor,

54、I saw a man reading a book in the day room,who happened to be Michael Goldstein.Cautiously,I slipped approaching him,slowly passing the wallet,breaking the message from Hannah.For a long time,he just stared at the blank before him,merrily,sinking in sweet memories in the past.Then,something like a s

55、mile wrinkled the corners of his eyes.Old as he was,he stood up and stepped downstairs swiftly,followed by me.In Hannahs room，they bugged,tightly.Sweet breeze wiping my face,a sudden warmth just hit me.【解析】该续写片段衔接设计得当，作者从保安那里得知他想找的人可能在八楼，所以作者甚至来不及道声谢就急匆匆跑向八楼。在八楼，作者如愿见到了Michael并且把这个催人泪下的消息告诉了他。作者用了一个

56、倒装句Old as he was,he stood up and stepped downstairs swiftly，followed by me.来表现Michael迫不及待的心情。当他们相拥的那一刻，微风拂面，温暖袭人。这个结尾给人一种水到渠成的感觉，也让人明白爱，温暖人心。结尾将人物的心情与微风拂面的环境相结合，同时与主题爱相称，融情于景，加深读者感受。但以景结情时一定要注意所写环境与人物心情相照应，避免空泛的景物描写。Possible version 3：（用自然式结尾续写）I took out the wallet,which was a simple brown leather

57、case with red lacing on the side.The guard burst into excitement,declaring it belonged to Michael Goldstein,who lived on the eighth floor.I thanked him genuinely and dashed to the elevator.I couldnt help thinking of their dustladen but deep love.Unfolded before me was a breathtaking scene when they

58、met again.A warm glow spreading over my body,a smile lifted the corner of my mouth.On the eighth floor,I saw a man reading a book in the day room,who happened to be Michael Goldstein.After telling the story and showing him the wallet,I was thrilled to see that his eyes became as wide as the sea,his

59、throat shivered and his face twitched with complex emotions.He was deep in thought and took a deep breath.Then he asked me to hide the truth to Hannah.Frozen on the ground,I saw him lifting himself up slowly,turning around,and sighing deeply.Then he signed to me with his hand,stiffly.【解析】该续写片段的线索也是从

60、保安处得知。但作者没有对保安多作描写，而是围绕自己的心理活动展开写作。作者期待着Hannah和Michael见面时的场景，一想到这份dustladen but deep love(尘封已久却深沉的爱)，作者的心就被温暖包围着(A warm glow spreading over my body,a smile lifted the corner of my mouth.)到了八楼，作者满心欢喜地告知Michael一切，谁料到Michael在经历一阵内心纠结之后，深叹了一口气，对“我”挥一挥手。故事在这里停止，因为主要人物Michael对本次事件的反应已完成。该篇文章的结尾恰当，顺其自然。续写结

61、尾别有心意地加了一个副词stiffly(僵硬地)，表现了Michael的无奈，更告诉我们往事已成追忆，剩余任由读者自己去想象，把自然结尾的作用发挥得淋漓尽致。语言输出层级训练，让续写添彩综合演练完成读后续写，注意结局描写阅读下面材料，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。Alexis and Zoe were sitting at the kitchen table doing homework.They were having a hard time concentrating on their assignment because the radio station
