题目

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was unusually cold that year on December 25. The snowstorm swept across my city, with biting wind piercing (划破) the silence of the empty street. I was a nurse on duty in the emergency room. Seated behind my desk, I stared through the glass window into the dark sky. I didn't think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas, when almost all the people were enjoying their family members' company. Just then, five people showed up in front of my desk, a pale woman and four small children. I rose to my feet immediately. "Are you all sick?" I asked suspiciously. "Yes." she said weakly and lowered her head. But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little confusing. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it. Something was wrong, but I didn't say anything and explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded, "Take your time; it's warm here." On a hunch (出于直觉), I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address—they were homeless. And the waiting room was warm and comfortable. I looked out at the family huddled (蜷缩) by the Christmas tree. The little one was clapping his hands and stamping his feet, with his eyes fixed on the television screen while the bigger one was pointing at the television and yelling something at her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament(装饰) on the Christmas tree. 注意： 1）所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2）续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 I returned to the nurses' station. …… We prepared a big dinner for our Christmas guests. 答案：   I returned to the nurses' station. I told others that we had a homeless family in the waiting room. Hearing what I said, all the nurses fell silent. The nurses, having complained about working Christmas, turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warmth on Christmas. We made up our minds to do something for them and went into action instantly, much as we do when there's a medical emergency. We prepared a big dinner for our Christmas guests. They happily wolved down everything we prepared. Then we collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things available to give them as presents. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients, our team worked to meet the needs, and exceed the expectations of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day. Later, as the family were ready to leave, one little girl came running back, showing her appreciation, gave me a hug and whispered, "Thanks for being our angels today."
