I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.‎ I took off but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.‎ I sent him and his wife a thank-you note with some cash for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.‎ Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.‎ Paragraph 1:‎ I entered the shop, and one of the salesman, who was white-haired, came to me.‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ When I paid for it, they would not accept my money. ‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Paragraph 1‎ I entered the shop, and one of the salesman came to me. I recognized him at once—the two salesmen were the older couple, and they were the owners of the Friendly Ford dealership. “Hey, it’s you! You ever helped me, remember?” I said to them excitedly. “Yeah, we do!” the old man laughed. After chatting for a while, they quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. My trouble was solved once again. ‎ Paragraph 2‎ When I paid for it, they would not accept my money. They told me that they ran the shop and named it Friendly because they were happy to help people in need and it made their life meaningful. When they ran the shop at first and helped people, no one had ever taken the time to write them and say thank you, but now they received more and more thank-you notes from people, which they were really happy about.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇读后续写作文。‎ ‎【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者开车去密苏里州的父母家过圣诞节时，车子出了故障，遇到了之前在加油站说过话的夫妇，夫妇愿意带作者去朋友家。作者下车时，丈夫给了作者名片，作者给他和他的妻子写了一封感谢信，感谢他们对自己的帮助。多年后的一个早晨，作者开车去附近一个小镇参加一个会议。下午晚些时候，作者回到车里，发现灯开了一整天，电池也没电了。注意到友好的福特汽车经销店就在隔壁，作者走了过去，发现两个推销员在陈列室里。‎ 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我走进商店，一个满头白发的售货员向我走来。所以后文应该是讲述作者认出这两个推销员是那对老夫妇，于是他们又帮作者解决了麻烦；第二段开头是：我付钱的时候，他们不收我的钱。本段应该写这对夫妇告诉作者经营这家店，并把它命名为“友好”，因为他们乐于帮助有需要的人，这使他们的生活有意义。当他们刚开始经营这家店并帮助人们的时候，从来没有人花时间给他们写感谢信，但是现在他们收到了越来越多的感谢信，他们真的很高兴。‎ 最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。‎ ‎【点睛】本文描写详略得当，结构完成，层次分明，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：at once, once again, in need, at first等高级词汇；After chatting for a while, they quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.非谓语动词的运用；They told me that they ran the shop and named it Friendly because they were happy to help people in need and it made their life meaningful.原因状语从句等高级句式。高级词汇和高级句子的使用彰显了作者对英语写作良好的驾驭能力。‎
