It was a few days before Christmas many years ago and it looked like it would not be a happy one for my family.
The factory that I was working at gave us a long holiday while their machinery was being repaired，that is to say，there is no need for us to go to work.In return for this，we didn't have much money.
My wife and I had managed to save some money to buy our young children some toys，but an unexpected car repair had taken most of our cash.We knew for sure that we could only afford to get one small gift for each of our children.
We arrived at the store and walked down the parking lot past people loading gifts into their cars.I saw the happiness on their faces and I heard them laughing and speaking happily.I envied them a bit，because it sure didn't feel like Christmas to me.We hurried into the store past old Tom，a beggar who had begged here for many years.To some extent，we had been "friends".I had always enjoyed putting something in his kettle before and he always held up his thumb to me.But today we passed him quickly with our heads down，pretending we didn't see him even though I heard clearly he was saying hello to me.I wasn't sure if I could afford gifts for my own family and I could not help others.
We searched all through the store hoping to find one thing each of our small children would like.Thankfully，we were able to get them each something sjye.aiet.We headed for the checkout and paid the bills for all the toys children selected.We found that we even had a few dollars left over.

【考点】读后续写．
【答案】Paragraph 1：
With those dollars left，we walked out of the store.I stopped in front of old Tom，saying Merry Christmas to him and dropped all those dollars into his kettle without any hesitation.Old Tom smiled at me.I didn't have one dollar left.I even didn't know how to deal with our dinner but it didn't matter.I felt relieved，and I did feel like Christmas around me.
Paragraph 2：
"This is for your children ! " old Tom said and handed me an invitation to a famous restaurant on Christmas Eve.I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what it was--- an invitation to a famous restaurant on Christmas Eve.It invited many children to have dinner and to play games together.Of course，all free，including their parents. "One of the gifts I received，but you know I have no children，so it's yours，" old Tom said gently.We had been told many times about the Christmas spirit：Christmas is giving and receiving in action，but until now，I know each time we give，each time we receive and it's Christmas.

1．Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat，but it was not even possible for her，since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while，watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However，with no money in hand，she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked， "Hey，girl，you want to have the noodles？
"Oh，yes…，but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today，" said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating，Jenny cried silently.
"What is it？" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing，actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother，drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words，the seller smiled， "Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your gratitude to her？"
Jenny sat there，speechless and numb with shock？she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted，but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

2．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers，three sisters，my father and mother.We had little money and few goods，but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but often told me "Dream is priceless".However，when I was about to get off the ground，one particular incident happened，which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5，that was a big sum.I was so excited，because this meant a chance for money in my pocket，certainly money for a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect（前景）of the job was inviting，and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach，I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage， "If you make your bed，you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all，my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

3． One day，when I was a first-year student in high school，I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself，"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday？He must really be a nerd（书呆子）."
I had quite a weekend planned（parties and a football game with my friends），so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking，I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him，knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying，and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up，and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him，and as he crawled around looking for his glasses，I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses，I said，"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said，"Hey，thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out，he lived near me，so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before，but we talked all the way home，and I carried his books.
