第二节（满分25分）

• 9．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。
     Our church congregation （集会） in Toronto has a way of assisting those who have financial difficulties without making the receiver feel shame or guilt.Money is dropped into an offering box with only the name of the receiver on the envelope.The envelopes are then distributed to those members without them knowing the name of the giver.
     There came a time when my husband and I were among those in need.Both of us lost jobs at that time and there was little hope that we could be employed within a short time.Of course，out of self-esteem，we did hot talk about our financial difficulty with anyone else.The only reason our children knew was that we had to cut back on many things.Still，we hoped they were not aware of the extent of our need，nor of how much then father and I were suffering because of it.We did not want to burden them with a problem they could do nothing to solve.
     With time going by，our situation wasn't improving，and my husband and I knew that we would have to look for outside help.In that cold winter，just as we reached the point of despair，our church gave us a gift envelope that had been left in the offering box.You couldn't imagine how overjoyed we were on receiving such a very substantial amount of money，which was enough to bring us through that desperate time.We couldn't help but wonder who had given such a generous gift.We were extremely relieved and enormously grateful.In this way，we could survive daring this tough period with the money.Besides，we needn't worry about our son's university tuition，that is，he needn't apply for any loan （贷款） because he had taken a part-time job and worked hard to earn some money since he was nine years old.He had been a paper carrier for The Toronto Star，a car washer，a dishwasher and so on.He had been careful for his small earnings so we had trusted him to leave all his wages with him instead of putting it into the bank towards his education.
  
  Paragraph1：
     A year later，our son was applying for a student loan.                    
  Paragraph2：
     Finally，in tears，my son told me he had put his savings in the offering box for us.
