读后续写

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

    I worked from the time when I was four and raised seven children, all of them college graduates. It seemed I'd done everything I'd ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn't spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.

    Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can't read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.

    By 1928, I'd been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. "Elzenia," I said. "I don't want the kids to know I can't read or write."

    In 1938, one day my boss called me in. "George," he said. "No one knows those machines like you do. I'd like to promote you. "But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said," Fill out this application and we'll get you a raise. "I couldn't admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn't stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.

    A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It's information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I'm 98. I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn't read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I've wanted to read. It was high time for action.

"Here you go," Melanie said, handing Ava a pink envelope.

"Thanks." Ava said. "But what is it?"

"An invitation to my pool party. It's Saturday at two. There will be a lot of fun things to do. You are going to love it so much. Do come, please." Melanie kept talking but Ava wasn't listening.

The words "pool party" echoed (回响) through her mind. Ava had a secret she didn't even tell her best friend Melanie—Ava couldn't swim. Every time she tried to learn, she'd wind up with water up her nose and she'd be out of the pool as quickly as possible.

"You're coming, right?" Melanie said

"Huh?" Ava jumped.

"Do you think you could come a little early? I could use your help inflating (使充气) the floating basketball hoops (篮筐) and the ball. And I will need you to help me set the tables."

Ava didn't know what to say. Melanie was one of her best friends. She couldn't miss her party. But she didn't want the whole school to find out she couldn't swim. That would be too embarrassing. "I think I might be busy this Saturday," Ava said, lowering her head. She saw the disappointment on Melanie's face. "Maybe I could stop by for a little while, but I definitely wouldn't have time to swim."

Ava spent the rest of the school day trying to avoid Melanie's questions about what she had to do on Saturday and why she couldn't stay for the whole party. Ava felt awful. That night she asked her parents to ground (不准出门) her or make other plans so she couldn't go to Melanie's party.

"Ava, this is silly," her mother said. "Melanie is your best friend. She won't care that you can't swim." Ava wasn't so sure.

"Just be honest with Melanie. She will understand you," her father said.

When Saturday arrived, Ava's parents drove her to the party right on time.

After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days, we came up with an object that we both remembered clearly. It was my first bicycle. My mind told me I got it when I was seven, who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards alone the first time I tried!

My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle from a beautiful material that he called, "Your own car." Of course I knew he had some magical ability, but I didn't think he could make such an awesome object. He added the seat and the pedals (脚踏板) so that I would not have any problems. My dad recalled the bicycle was the smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was. I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material. The bicycle was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it. Honestly, I was scared to try it.

After a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about. I was finally determined to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there. The park was empty when we arrived. I had no doubt that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it. I felt sorry for other people, but I was proud to have such an capable person as my dad. We found a smooth and open space. My dad was holding the back part of the seat to make sure I didn't fell. He promised me that I was not going to fall because he would be running right behind, holding the bicycle.

注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右:2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I started to pedal and the bicycle moved.

……

I turned around and found my dad was not behind.
