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。 Growing up, we didn’t have much money. Actually, we had very little. We lived in a small house with holes in the floor. We wore old clothes and had little food. With three little mouths to feed, my daddy worked as a gatekeeper in a middle school and then farmed our own small field until dark. Daddy provided the best he could for us and mama made our clothes on her old sewing machine. We could have easily applied for welfare, but my parents wouldn't think of it. Our family was full of love and proud of hard work

Then I was in the third grade, in Mrs. Harper’s class. One day, Mrs. Harper brought a huge box of toys to school to give to “poor” children. Everyone was invited to bring some of his or her own toys from home to put in the box. Needless to say. I had hardly any toys of my own to offer.

My eyes got big the next day when I looked into that box. It was like a dream world to me — so many colorful toys! Clearly, Mrs. Harper saw the curious look on my face, and although I never asked with a smile, she let me pick out two toys for myself from the box. I was so thankful and thought that I was the luckiest girl in the whole world!

When I got home. I couldn't wait to show mama what I brought from the school. She admired the toys and asked where I got them. I told her about the box for the poor children and that Mrs. Harper had let me pick two toys from the box！Mama thought for a few seconds and said in a very sweet way, “No…no, You can’t keep these two toys.” Paragraph 1:

Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:

Mrs. Harper said she understood what mama meant. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The carnival took place last Thursday through Friday in our playground. It began with a grand opening ceremony and contained a variety of events, such as track and field and ball games. All the participants tried their best to compete for honour and the audience cheered them wildly. What impressed me most was the teacher-student relay race. It gave me a thrill to see the close cooperation between teachers and students. The event makes me better understand the importance of sports. Additionally, it strengthens links between us students and teachers. I really hope more such events will be held.

Yours, Li Hua 读后续写

Mama explained to me that those toys were for \"poor\" children. She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat. Above all, we had a family and we loved each other. We were not poor at all. But there were many children who didn't. They were the people who really needed the toys. Eventually she asked me to take the two toys back to school and put them in Mrs. Harper's box.

Mrs. Harper said she understood chat mama meant. And after school, she took me and some of my classmates to the street to hand out those toys. When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what mama had told me. Mama was long gone. But her words have stayed with me all the time.
