It was a beautiful sunny day when the moving van pulled onto the tree-lined street. Mark and
Mindy stepped out of the van and looked at their new home with pride. They had both been saving
for a long time to purchase their first house together and were very excited to go on a new venture.
Within an hour they had unloaded a number of boxes and were pleased with their progress. The
sky had begun to darken slightly, but the weather was still pleasant. Then Mindy heard it – even felt
it. There was a large clap of thunder and then a bolt of lightning. Mindy and Mark immediately froze
and looked at each other, then looked at the boxes scattered (分散) on their lawn. They hastily raced
to get their belongings indoors, but not before getting caught in heavy rain.
The couple stood in their living room, wet from head to toe, surrounded by what were now very
wet boxes. Then, Mark noticed a pool of water in the hallway.
He went to inspect and found that there was water dripping from the ceiling. “We can have
someone fix it,” Mindy said. “I’ll grab a bucket to catch the water for now.”
A moment later Mark heard a scream and raced into the kitchen just in time to see a mouse
running across the floor.
Mindy was frozen with fright.
“Don’t worry. We can take care of that!” Mark said, trying to sound as reassuring (安心的) as
possible. “Let’s go unpack some of the boxes. That will make us feel better.”
Mark and Mindy made their way to the living room, but when they opened a box holding their
kitchen utensils (器皿) and dishes, they found that all of their plates, bowls and cups were broken.
They looked at each other in dismay (沮丧).
“What do we do now?” Mindy asked.
Their first day in their new home was not turning out to be the joyous occasion they had
expected.
Paragraph 1:
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly they heard a noise from the attic (阁楼).

Paragraph 1:
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Opening the door wearily, Mark found an elderly man standing
on the porch with some savory (可口的) cookies. Grinning, the man introduced himself as Tom. Upon seeing the
van parked outside, he brought cookies to welcome his new neighbors. Tom’s words and the smell of the cookies
calmed Mark a lot, but with the boxes in the room in a mess, Mark felt embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Tom came in
and helped the hosts clean up the room and finally they sat down together, enjoying the cookies happily.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly they heard a noise from the attic. Puzzled, Mindy ran upstairs. “It’s a lovely kitten,” Mindy cried
cheerfully. “It must be because James, the former owner of the house, used to feed a stray cat to drive out the
mice,” smiled Tom. “It was James who helped me when I was helpless, just as you are now.” Feeling the warmth
from the neighbor, Mark and Mindy were very grateful. The rain is still falling, but it could never dampen their
hopes for the future.

有老鼠，而且他们的餐具都碎了，二人很沮丧，认为在新家的第一天并不是他们所期望的那种欢乐的日子。

汤姆是来欢迎二人的，并帮他们打扫卫生，最后大家一起吃饼干，二人很开心。
第二段开头是：突然，他们听到阁楼上传来响声。本段应该写明迪上楼去发现是一只猫，汤姆告诉二人猫
是前主人詹姆斯养的，詹姆斯也帮过汤姆，所以汤姆帮助二人，马克和明迪很感激，雨并没有打消他们对
未来的希望。

Growing up, I understood one thing about my dad: He knew everything. This was our
relationship: I asked him questions and he told me the answers.
In my teen years, he taught me things I’d need to know to survive in the real world. When I
moved out on my own, I called him usually when something broke into my apartment and I needed
to know how to fix the toilet, the air-conditioner or the wall.
But then, eventually, I needed him less. For everything, I had Google. I don’t know when it
happened, but when I called our conversations developed into six words. Me: “Hi, Dad”. Him: “Hi,
sweets. Here’s Mom.” I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already
shared everything I needed to know.
Then, this past summer, I moved in with my parents for three weeks while my house was being
repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead(隔板)at their
dock(船坞).
“How do you know how to build a bulkhead?”
“I spent a summer in college building them on the Jersey shore.”
“You did?” I thought I knew everything about my dad. I knew about the summer at the
manufacturing plant that burned his hands raw, and even the tiny little kitchen, where he learned how
to make the best pancake. But I never knew this.
“Yes. Now come up here and let me teach you how to use this circulars saw (圆锯).” All of a
sudden, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent
my life asking him the wrong questions.
Paragraph 1:
We ended up our talking but I was lost in thought
Paragraph 2:
“Wait, Dad,” I said, “How are you?

Paragraph 1:
We ended up our talking but I was lost in thought. For years, I had taken it for granted that dad could give
me answers to any of my questions only if I asked, but seldom did I try to understand his life just like the summer
when he was building bulkhead and what he wanted from me. Maybe he was also eager to share his story with me,
or he wouldn’t have asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead. After all, it was hard, manual labor. A few weeks
later, after I moved back into my house, I called my parents. Dad answered. “Hi, sweets,” he said. “Here’s Mom.”
Paragraph 2:
“Wait, Dad,” I said. “How are you?” We talked a lot that day, from the little quarrel between him and my
mom to the job he was working on. Nothing important. To anyone else, it would sound like a normal conversation
between a dad and his daughter. But to me, it was novel, as well as to my dad. I sensed his voice with excitement
and delight. It was a whole new beginning. I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to
him because I want to.
【文章概要】
通过阅读所给文章可知，
小时候，作者一直认为父亲无所不知，有什么问题都向父亲寻求帮助。
长大后，作者觉得自己已经很了解父亲了，并且有问题可以从网络上搜索，以至于慢慢地，和父亲没有什
么话可说了。然后，在刚刚过去的这个夏天，作者搬去和自己的父母住了三个星期，作者的父亲让作者帮
他重建码头的隔板。
【详解】
第一段开头是：我们结束了谈话，但我陷入了沉思……，所以应该写作者重新审视自己对父亲是否真的了
解，发现一直以来自己只是从父亲那里获得问题的答案，从未试图真正去了解父亲的生活，本段详细描写
作者内心的想法
第二段开头是：“等等，爸爸，”我说，“你好吗?”本段应该写那天作者和父亲聊了很多，作者发现自
己想和父亲说话，这是一个全新的开始。
