Life is full of ups and downs, including ups and downs of career, emotion and study.When mymother told me this, I always didn't believe it made any sense to me because I always thought my life would be smooth all the time.But when I look back on my life, I find that everything I have got through is just so-so.

I would like to share something I experienced last year with you.I have been dreaming about earning amaster's degree and I have been always working hard so as to realize the dream.Through continuous efforts, I eventually succeeded in passing the NationalPostgraduateEntrance Examination.The time I got the good news that I was admitted to my dream school, I couldn't be happier and I even thought I was the most fortunate person in this world.And during the whole following summer holiday, I wasimmersedin imagining my colorful graduate life.In order to test my independence, I made up my mind to go to the city where my school was located on my own one day ahead of schedule.

I arrived at the hotel I had booked in advance alone the day before the new term began.But unluckily, I had caught a bad cold several days before the journey and it got even worse after riding throughout the day.I found that I had a fever and then I took some pills to reduce the fever.But the temperature rose very high, and all that night I had great difficulty in falling asleep.I felt very lonely

and helpless, unable to do anything but shed tears, and considered it as the most difficult challenge that I had ever faced.However,when I thought of my parents' experiences of difficulties, I told myself“tomorrow is another day”, and then I got the courage to overcome the difficulty and finally I got up and took the taxi to see a doctor at 2：00 am.

寫作導引

一、析語篇，理要素，構思續寫梗概

要想續寫內容與所給短文之間邏輯連貫、銜接緊密，必須充分理解所給材料的大意，掌握作者想要傳達的意思。 本文是一篇記敘文，文章分析如下：

二、閱讀續寫開頭語，進行續寫構思

基于原文本和續寫段落首句提供的信息并結合以上閱讀分析， 采用圍繞中心提問相關問題的方法，構思要續寫的兩段故事情節，一般分為三步：

第一步，根據續寫第二段所給出的段首句倒推續寫第一段應包括什么內容。

分析第二段的段首句內容“當我的父母看到我，他們立即向我沖過來”可知，續寫第一段要寫醫生聯系作者的父母的內容，這樣才能確保續寫的兩段是相銜接的。

第二步，圍繞續寫第一段所給出的段首句以及上面的分析進行提問構思：

（1）What was the result of the author's visit to the hospital?

（2）How did the author feel when she learned the result?

（3）What did the author's parents do for her?

第三步，圍繞續寫第二段所給出的段首句進行提問構思：

（1）What was the author's mood and behavior after seeing her parents?

（2）What did the author's parents say to her?

（3）What did the author understand about life from the love and care of parents?
