Penny was a little girl who lived in Alaska. It was ice-cold there. She kept praying that she could play in green and warm gardens like we do. But of course, she couldn't.

Her father, like all the men there, didn't have a job. He hunted seals and caught fishes, as was the custom. So her father hadn't even heard of money and even if he had money, there weren't any aeroplanes to take them abroad.

Near Penny's house was a deep, dark forest.Everyone was afraid to enter it. They said that whoever entered it would be sucked in by a magic hole.

One day, Penny was playing with her Eskimo friends when one of the boys shouted, “Hey, I dare one of you to enter the magic forest.”

No one dared. Penny picked up a twig and threw it at the edge of the forest. Nothing happened.Penny felt astonished. “It's all a legend! We can play hide-and-seek in the woods if we want,” she thought. She walked slowly towards the woods. It was getting colder and colder as she took each step.She walked right into the middle of the forest.

There was a small hill with a great big hole right in the middle of it. She wanted to jump into it.She took a big, deep breath and jumped.

There was a sinking feeling in her stomach. She realized that she was falling down deep somewhere. But she did not land. Her head was spinning and suddenly all her fur clothes disappeared and there was a skirt and blouse instead of them. She was at the beach.

She found that she had a bag with her. Inside the bag there was a swimsuit, a mat, a book, a bottle of lotion（護膚液） and a towel. She took all these home.

Ⅰ. Difficult sentences

2. They said that whoever entered it would be sucked in by a magic hole.

譯文：他們說無論誰進入森林，都會被魔法洞吸進去。

寫作導引

一、分析語篇，理清要素

要想續寫內容與所給材料內容連貫、銜接緊密，必須充分了解所給材料的大意。 本文是一篇

記敘文，文章分析如下：

二、閱讀續寫開頭語，展開合理想象

我們可以基于標題、原文本和續寫段落首句提供的信息，構思要續寫的故事情節。 這一構思分為四步：

第一步，根據已給出的文本判斷文章的立意。

根據續寫第一段的首句 “When she almost stepped out of the forest, she heard her family crying.”， 我們可以推測出Penny跳進魔法洞，來到了溫暖的沙灘后，又平安回到了現實中的家。 前文沒有交代她的旅程經過、 感受和收獲， 接下來或會有所交代。 從續寫第二段的首句“However,Penny didn't say.”可以看出，續寫第一段中Penny的家人——爸爸應該詢問了她一些關于本趟旅程的問題，但是她沒有回答。 故事的開頭介紹了Penny家里沒有錢，不能出國，而她向往著溫暖的地方。 故事的轉折處在于她掉進一個神奇的洞，來到了溫暖的沙灘邊，實現了自己的愿望。 那么接下來，Penny會不會利用這個魔法洞來改善自己、家庭或者其他人的生活呢？譬如開發旅游景點，或是到沙灘上賣魚掙錢等，由此體現主人翁Penny的勇敢與智慧的故事主題。

第二步，圍繞續寫第一段所給出的段首句“When she almost stepped out of the forest, she heard her family crying.”進行提問構思：

（1）Why did her family cry?

（2）How did her family react after seeing Penny's arrival?

（3）What would her family ask Penny?

（4）How would Penny react?

第三步，根據續寫第二段所給出的段首句倒推續寫第一段必須寫什么。

分析一下第二段所給出的段首句“However, Penny didn't say.”，我們可以推斷續寫第一段中家人詢問她的奇特歷程，譬如經歷了什么、感受如何、有什么收獲等。如此安排，確保兩段之間銜接合理、情節連貫。

第四步，圍繞題目“A magic hole”的線索及段首句“However, Penny didn't say.”進行提問構思：

（1）How would Penny take advantage of the big hole?

（2）What would be affected by the big hole?

（3）What would be the ending?

三、潤色成篇

在續寫的過程中要注意“續”的原則，做到主題、情節、語言風格一致。 具體如下：

（1）通過分析，我們可知本文的主題是弘揚積極、正面的價值觀，如勇敢、智慧等，續寫時應注意結局的設計；

（2）續寫的情節應和前面的開始和發展吻合，根據人物的性格特點進行合理的預測；

（3）前文中有多處心理描寫和環境描寫，且用了大量的賓語從句、一些倒裝句和定語從句，續寫時應關注并模仿這些語言風格。

（4）續寫時注意句型長短相間，注意句型豐富，注意語法、用詞、標點符號的準確性。
