写作指导与解读
一、续写原题
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 stood under the mistletoe(榭寄生). The green, leafy clusters(团，簇)spotted with waxy-white berries hung from the branches of every apple tree. That's the same stuff they sell in the stores for Christmas decorations, I said to myself. Why can't I sell mistletoe too? It would be a perfect way to earn money to
buy a Christmas gift for my brother, Derek.
I took a few steps back, ran, leaped, and reached as high as I could. But the lowest mistletoe cluster was too high. Frustrated, I had started for home, when something strange caught my eye. At the edge of the appleorchard(果园), one tree stood bare. All the mistletoe had fallen off thebranches. Delighted, I carefully picked out the best clusters and put them in my lunch box. When it was full, I rushed across the cornfield to go home.
I entered the side door, listening. Yes, a guitar was playing. I pounded on the door. The guitar stopped. A moment later the door was open. My brother stood there wearing his brown leather jacket. \are you going?\I asked. \of your business,\he
muttered, sailing past me. It wasn't easy sharing that small bedroom with my older brother.
With Derek out of the room, I emptied the contents of my lunch box onto my bed. As I looked for something to put the mistletoe in, I saw Derek's guitar on his bed, wrapped in an old towel. That guitar was the only beautiful thing Derek owned, and I knew what to buy with the mistletoe money: a case for that guitar. Even if Derek was bad-tempered sometimes, he was still my brother, and I loved him.
Obviously I needed more mistletoe. The next day, I cut through the apple orchard again. A surprise awaited me—two more trees were bare, and more mistletoe! I came across the orchard owner who said he paid a guy to cut all that mistletoe out of his apple trees. He was happy I collected the mistletoe. As I raced for home, I saw Derek, in his leather jacket, was crossing the cornfield. But he ignored me.
That night I picked more mistletoe. With all mistletoe sold out, I hurried over to the music store. In the front display window lay a row of woodenrecorders. I had learned to play a plastic one at school, and I wanted one of those wooden ones. Each year that was at the top of my Christmas list. But each year there wasn't
enough money.
Paragraph 1: I was calculating how much more money I'd need to buy a recorder when I saw the towers of guitar cases in the back of the store.
Paragraph 2: I reached the orchard again, overhearing a familiar voice talking with the orchard owner.
