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。

In the cold_and_plain living_room,_Matt is sitting in his chair. His eyes don't shine anymore. He looks extremely old and weak. Today is his birthday,_and he is by himself. The only thing that he has been doing all day is thinking about how sad and lonely his life is. As he was looking at some old pictures, he found one special with him and his friends from college. This picture brought back the days when he had friends and his life was full of happiness. Also, it brought him a sad memory. This memory happened forty years ago, during his last year of college.

Throughout college, Matt had a friend named Mark. Mark was tall and skinny. He wore thick glasses. He was shy, smart and responsible. Also, Mark didn't have as many friends as Matt had. He considered Matt as his best friend. As good friends, they knew everything about each other, and they hung out. Also, they overcame many problems together. They were really good friends.

On his twenty­fourth birthday their life changed. On the night before his birthday, Mark called Matt, “Hi! Matt，” his voice sounded strange. He continued, “I have an important project to work_on. I'm having some problem with this. Maybe, you could come over and help me with it giving me some new ideas. Could you？” Matt asked, “What time？” Mark kept in silence for a minute, and then he said, “At 8 p．m. Is it good for you？” Then Matt answered, “Ok! See you later.” On that night, it was Matt's birthday. So, he didn't want to spend his birthday helping Mark with his project. Matt went to a club with some other guys.

The next morning, Matt noticed that Mark was acting differently. When he went to talk to Mark, Mark ignored him completely. He left the classroom without saying one word. As Mark was walking away, Matt said in an angry voice, “You are selfish. You are just thinking about yourself. I was having fun on my birthday. Why can't you understand it？”

注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph 1：

While he was saying it, Mallory, one of his classmates and friends, stood up and started to say， 　

Paragraph 2：

Tears fell from his eyes.　

[写作步骤]

第一步：速读全文

文本大意：本文是一篇记叙文。自私的Matt因为只想着自己的生日而忽视了朋友并责备朋友，从而失去了朋友的信任，成为了一个没有朋友的人。

叙述意图：文章告诉我们要坦诚对待朋友。

第二步：细读全文

1．所给短文情景模式分析。

2．对原文所提供的下划线词语进行分类。

★人物：friend, Mark

★事件：birthday, night, project

★地点： living room, classroom

★动作与心理描写： call, work on, cold and plain

第三步：精心谋篇

1．Paragraph 1：While he was saying it, Mallory, one of his classmates and friends, stood up and started to say，

正当他说那件事的时候，他的一个同学兼朋友Mallory站了起来，开始说，

[情节分析]　根据提示句可知，本段应描写通过Matt和Mallory的对话，Matt了解了事情的缘由：Mark给Matt准备了一个生日聚会，但联系不到 Matt；这些让Matt的朋友很生气，但Matt还责怪他的朋友。

Paragraph 2：Tears fell from his eyes. 泪水从他的眼中滑落。

[情节分析]　根据本段开头语的提示，要着重描写Matt 在朋友离开后的心理活动，使之与本文的开头相呼应。Matt不知道该说什么，也不知道该做什么来弥补过错，他的朋友都离开了教室，教室就他独自一人，就像他现在的客厅一样。

第四步：初写成文

Paragraph 1：

1．你怎么能对Mark说这种话？

How_can_you say so to Mark?

2．你不知道发生了什么事！

掌握阅读技能之(二)　略读

略读是阅读理解常用的技巧之一，在快速浏览的过程中要一气呵成，尽管有空格、生词或不明白的地方，仍要快速读下去。读时要注意找出关键词、中心词，如时间、地点、人物词，显示故事发展的连词、过渡词，表示人物情感的形容词、副词，代表故事情节的关键词等，边读边将这些词圈划下来，以便于形成思路。切忌在未掌握大意的基础上，边阅读，边做题，这样速度慢，准确率低。

下面，我们不妨先用一两分钟看看下面这篇没有选项的文章，看看是怎样从略读中获取有效的信息。

通过以上略读，划出关键词，我们就基本上掌握了本文的大意：作者与妻子约定七点在餐馆就餐，但是作者的迟到以及解释让彼此产生了误解。作者向朋友描述了这种情况后，朋友指出了问题所在，于是作者开始理解妻子。
