David Ballesteros looked at the lawyer.He couldn't believe his ears.The lawyer told him that his father left the 1923 Singer sewing machine (缝纫机) to him.It once belonged to his great-grandmother and his father considered it his greatest treasure."That's very nice,"David said."But what else?What about the legacy (遗产)?The money?What does it all amount to?"
The lawyer,Mr.Jarvin,put down the will.He felt sorry for David but he thought David's father had explained the terms of the will before he died.David remembered that his father just told him he'd be passing on his riches,but he never specified the amount — that was what he was trying to find out!
Mr.Jarvin said carefully,"David,no money at all.""That's impossible!" David screamed.His father owned clothing factories all over the United States.He was rich!Mr.Jarvin explained that all the money was donated to charity under the terms of his father's will.
David was reeling (晕头转向) from the shock.He'd lived a life of wealth and now he was left with nothing but an old sewing machine!Mr.Jarvin said to David that his father left him a letter which may explain his decision.David grabbed the envelope.His father's decision was to leave him a poor man!What kind of explanation could he possibly have for that!He drove back to his apartment just in time to see a van (厢式送货车) pull up.
"Mr.David Ballesteros?"asked the man from the van."Yes," David said."We have a delivery for you,sir."He gestured to the old sewing machine."Where would you like it?"David was about to scream"In the trash (垃圾桶)!"but it occurred to him that the old item might be worth some money,so he ordered the man to take it up to his apartment.After the man left,David poured himself a drink and looked at the sewing machine."I have an MBA.I'm prepared to run companies.What am I supposed to do with a sewing machine,Dad?"he asked aloud.

When David put down the letter he had tears in his eyes.________
【答案】Then he remembered the letter and opened it.His father explained in the letter, "Our greatest legacy is our work values and our roots".When David's great-grandmother came to this country,she bought a sewing machine and made clothes.She worked so hard and ten years later,she had a clothing factory.But when she died,David's grandfather was left with nothing except the sewing machine.He built his business on treasure to jye.ai.You are free to reinvent that sewing machine. "So I pass on that to you without being held back by what I did," the letter said.
When David put down the letter he had tears in his eyes.He ran a loving hand over the sewing machine and smiled.David,who was a fan of surfing,started thinking about how boring some of the surfboard covers he'd seen were.Then he took some of his old jeans and made a new cover.It was the beginning of what would soon be a bestselling brand of surfwear!Years later,David was invited to set up an exhibit,and at the very center of it was his greatest treasure:his great-grandmother's sewing machine.

1.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。
"Happy New Year,papa!"The sitting-room doors were thrown open,and a sweet little girl flashed in.Smiles played around her cherry lips,and her eyes were dancing with sunny light.
"Happy New Year,my sweet one!"responded Mr.Edgar. "May all your New Years be happy,"he added,and with a blessing in his heart.
Little Ellen laid her head against her father's breast.To her it was a Happy New Year's morning,but it was not so with Mr.Edgar,a successful businessman.He was tired of the plot in the business world.He was not happy at all! "For years,"he said to himself,"I have been pursuing the means of happiness,yet happiness itself seems to be still farther in the distance.""Why am I not happy?"But the answer was not given.
After breakfast,Mr.Edgar left home and went to his company.On his way,he noticed a lovely child around the same age as his daughter playing in the yard.Her beauty,which had in it something of innocence (天真),impressed him so deeply that he turned to gain a second look.With the girl was a father and he happened to be Abraham James,who owed(欠) money to Mr.Edgar from their business dealings.Abraham couldn't meet his responsibilities to Mr.Edgar,and as a result,Mr.Edgar said some unkind words.Mr.Edgar had an appointment with a lawyer(律师) today,preparing to charge him and ask for money he was owed.While the money wasn't a significant amount for Mr.Edgar,it meant a lot to Abraham James,who planned to sell his house to come up with the money.
As Mr.Edgar continued on his way,he couldn't forget the cheerful face of the child.Suddenly,he remembered his own daughter's smiling face and sweet morning greeting.He thought,"She must also wish her Daddy a happy New Year.If her Dad isn't happy,will she still wear that innocent smile on her face?"He seemed to have found the way to be happy.

As they arrived at the destination,they were greeted by a sea of people.The place was overflowing with tourists from all over the globe.Excitement filled the air as families began their sightseeing adventures,creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
Eager to begin their own adventure,the mother,holding the hands of her two children,dove into the crowd.However,among the crowded army of tourists,fate had its own plans in store.In the chaos of the massive crowd,the younger son,unaware of the chaos unfolding around him,somehow managed to wander off,unknowingly leaving his family behind.
Suddenly,the mother realized that her younger child was no longer beside her.Panic seized her heart,and a sense of helplessness occupied her.She desperately called out her son's name,her voice trembling with fear.Tears streamed down her face as she scanned the vast sea of people for her son,but there was no sign of him.
