题目

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。 My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked(打屁股) my siblings and me. Instead she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable occasions occurred when I was four. In the early 70's my mother attended college during the day and I was in daycare. One day at daycare I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, "Momma, are we going to McDonald's for dinner?" The mother replied, "Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy." "But I wanna go, "Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow." Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, "I want to go to McDonald's." No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding her mother tried stopped Susie's tantrum(发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, "Okay, Susie, let's go to McDonald's. "Susie stopped yelling and grabbed her mother's hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate, I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum. That day my mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to a store to purchase some New Year items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, "Mama, can I have that telephone?" She replied, "Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe grandpa will bring it to you." "But, Mama, I want that telephone right now." Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. "Becky, you can't have that telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking." 注意： 1）续写词数应为150左右; 2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance. …… "Mama, stop. Mama, get up. "I tearfully pleaded. 答案：By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figure it was a good chance. I lay down on the ground and began screaming, "I want that telephone," over and over again. Weary Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said, "Becky, you'd better get up by the count of three or else. One…Two…Three." Nothing. I was still in full tantrum. So, then she lay down beside me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, "I want a new car, I want a new house, I want some jewelry, I want…" Shocked, I stood up. "Mama, stop. Mama, get up." I tearfully pleaded. She stood, and brushed herself off. At first stunned, the others waiting in line began to sporadically clap, and before I knew it, they were cheering and laughing and patting my mother on her back. She blushed and took a little bow and the next thirty minutes in line was pure misery for me as various parents leaving the store, shake their heads at me and say with a smile, "Your mom got you good. I bet you'll never try that again." And I didn't, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective.
