【高考试一试】

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。

An owner of a dress shop had problems with a young lady, a psychology major, whom she had hired as a salesgirl.

The first day a lady came into the store, and the salesgirl, Miss Brampton, asked if she could be of help.

＂I’d like a suit for the fall,＂ the lady said.

＂Well, do you want the suit because you need it? Or have you just had a fight with your husband and are trying to get even by making an expensive purchase?＂

＂I beg your pardon?＂ the lady said.

＂Perhaps you suspect he has a girlfriend, and you think this is the only way you can get back at him.＂

＂I have no idea what you’re talking about,＂ the customer said.

＂Spending money in anger is an expensive form of hostility(敌意). My advice is to think it over for a few days. Buying a new suit won’t save your marriage.＂

＂Thank you!＂ the customer said coldly and left the shop.

＂She’s angry with me now,＂ Miss Brampton whispered, ＂but in a week she’ll be grateful to me.＂

The shop owner decided to let the incident pass, but that afternoon another customer came in, and Miss Brampton asked if she could be of help. The lady told her she was going to the Kennedy Center, and wanted a dress that would knock everyone dead.

Miss Brampton said, ＂We have some lovely evening dresses over here for insecure people.＂＂Insecure people?＂

＂Yes. Didn’t you know clothes are one of the main ways women compensate for insecurity?＂

＂I’m not insecure,＂ the lady said angrily.

＂Then why do you want to knock them dead at the Kennedy Center? Why can’t you be accepted for yourself instead of what you wear? I can sell you a new dress that will attract attention, but then you would never know if it is you or the dress that makes people stop and stare.＂注意：

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2.应使用5个以上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。

前文概要：一家服装店的店主雇用了一名心理学专业的女学生当售货员，这名售货员用分析顾客心理、剖析顾客购物动机的方式进行推销，但是失败了，第一位顾客离开了。这时第二位顾客来了，售货员仍然试图用这种方式推销。

思路导航：

Paragraph 1的开头是＂到了这时候，服装店的店主决定进行干预＂，暗示接下来店主会打断她们的谈话，想办法留住这位顾客。而Paragraph 2的开头暗示店主的努力以失败告终。写作时可用关键词：salesgirl， the customer， evening dresses等。

Paragraph 2的开头是＂一个小时后，当一个大学生进来买迷你裙时，店主终于无法忍受了＂，暗示Miss Brampton又一次分析这位顾客的购买动机，最终使得这位顾客也没买东西就离开了，当然可以自由发挥，如：经此一事，店主再也不想雇用心理学专业的学生当售货员了。写作时可用关键词：left the shop， psychology major等。

Dear Editor，

More and more disasters have taken place on end recently，which have brought in many deaths and loss. It's high time we realized the importance of protecting our environment. I am strongly appealing to people acting for our surroundings.

People always take a lot from the earth, for example, cutting more trees for houses，digging more mines for a better life, giving more green house gases into the air and so on. High carbon life makes people comfortable and high technology makes people warring. All this makes our life more difficult and our earth not easy to live on.

It is everyone's duty to protect our environment. I hope everyone should play a role in

Yours sincerely，

The above pie chart shows the results of a survey on“How many times do you eat in a fast-food outlet in a week？”．As we can see,44% of those questioned eat fast food once a week while 28% never.14% eat fast food twice a week and 8% three times a week.6% eat fast food every day.

These figures are shocking because so many people eat fast food regularly.As we all know，fast food is considered to be junk food.If we eat junk food too much，we cannot get enough nutrients that our bodies need，which is harmful to o ur health.So let’s resist fast food and have a balanced diet.Eating well will make us healthy.
