Things

Trash，負責所有與垃圾有關事務

），而掃地是安娜的工作，她是“ATS”。回家后的狀況：幾天后“我”回到家，工作上一個大項目臨近截止日期，壓力很大。接兒子放學前“我”買了烤雞當晚餐。晚上6點，“我”忙于項目，孩子們在樓下看電視。11歲的兒子內森、大兒子喬丹、18歲的女兒朱莉婭先后上樓讓“我”熱烤雞。“我”很生氣，抱怨自己是“ATF”，每天三餐，工作量大，希望孩子們能幫忙【續寫思路】根據上文和第一段首句Twentyminuteslater,mykidscameupstairswithaplatefilledwithchickenandcheese.可知，第一段主要是通過我和孩子之間的交流，推動情節的發展。具體可以寫孩子們道歉，表達對“我”壓力的理解，并邀請“我”吃飯；也可以寫“我”為剛才的態度表示歉意，并解釋壓力大的原因，以及看到孩子變化后“我”的欣慰之情；另外由第二段首句“Thenextday,whenJuliacamehomefromherjob,shewascarryingseveralbagsoffood.”可知第一段要寫孩子們決定接下來要分工做家務(ATF,ATT,ATS...)，或者“我”給他們分工做家務，以便讓“我”全力完成臨近截止日期的大項目。根據第二段首句Thenextday,whenJuliacamehomefromherjob,shewascarryingseveralbagsoffood.可知，孩子們已經按照昨天的計劃開始進入角色，可以是三個孩子一起ATF，也可以是孩子們按照ATF，ATTATW等分工合作，合理即可。之后要寫“我”看到孩子們變化后的欣慰之情。升華要緊扣題目“Takecareofeachother”，家人之間相互關心、相互照顧才能讓家庭更和睦，生活更幸福。【答案】Twentyminuteslater,mykidscameupstairswithaplatefilledwithchickenandcheese.“Mum,yourfood,”Nathansaidgently.Ilookedup,sayingwithembarrassment“Sorry,Iyelledatyouguys.”“Weunderstand,Mum.When’syourdeadline?”Jordanasked.“Intwodays,andIdon’tknowhowI’mgoingtofinish.”TearsthreatenedasIthoughtabouthowmuchworkIstillhadtodo.Seeingthis,Julialookedatherbrothersandsaid.“Forthenexttwodays,thethreeofusareATF.Let’sleaveMomalone.”(77words)Thenextday,whenJuliacamehomefromherjob,shewascarryingseveralbagsoffood.Seeingthis,herbrothersrantohelpherquickly.Anhourlater,Nathancameupstairsandhandedmeaplatecontainingaturkeysandwich,somechipsandappleslices.Hesmiled,whispering“Ihopeyourworkisgoingwell.”Ilaughed,tookabite,andthankedhimwithasmile.Ihadalwaysfeltitwasmyjobasamomtotakecareofmyfamily,buttheyshowedmethatit’sourjobtotakecareofeachother.(81words)續寫二Dadhadbeenalumberjack(伐木工）.

_____________________________________________________________________________________【原文大意】1.父親的變故：父親曾是伐木工，隨著年齡增長，做不了年輕時能做的事就會生氣。67歲生日后四天，父親心臟病發作被送醫，雖保住性命，但沒了對生活的熱情。2.接父親同住及矛盾：“我”和丈夫迪克邀請父親到小農場同住，希望鄉村新鮮空氣能幫他調整狀態。可父親搬來一周內，對“我”做的一切都抱怨，“我”因此和迪克吵架。

3.尋求解決辦法：第二個月，“我”聯系周邊心理健康中心求助無果。就在打算放棄時，有中心工作人員稱，讓抑郁癥患者照顧狗可改善健康狀況，這或許有用。

4.領狗回家：當天下午“我”去動物收容所，填完表格后，工作人員帶“我”看籠子里的動物。在最后一個籠子旁，一只獵犬引起“我”注意，它來歷不明。“我”帶它回家，向父親展示，父親起初無視，后獵犬走向父親，父親沉默，最終

kneel

（跪下

）抱起它。【續寫思路】根據上文和第一段首句Itwasthebeginningofawarmandlovingfriendship.可知，第一段主要圍繞父親和Cheyenne友誼發展過程展開。在Cheyenne的陪伴下，父親發生了很大變化：抱怨減少，脾氣變好，開始有自己的休閑活動，心情和身體情況改善，和“我”關系改善等均是合理內容。根據第二段首句Lateronenight,myhusbandandIwokeupbythebarkingofCheyenne.可知，父親出現了突發情況，例如摔倒、生病等均可，在Cheyenne的幫助下，“我們”及時發現，及時就醫，挽救了父親的生命。父親和Cheyenne有了更深的感情。升華部分的方向是人與動物的和諧關系。【答案】Itwasthebeginningofawarmandlovingfriendship.DadnamedthepointerCheyenne.EverydayhewalkedCheyennetwoorthreetimesonthefarm.Athome,CheyennefollowedDadeverywhereandwasalwayslyingquiet
