珍妮特的好朋友埃米對要經(jīng)過性格古怪的道森先生的家門口感到畏懼，想繞道而行。珍妮特會怎么做呢？看見珍妮特，道森先生又會做出什么舉動呢？

In a town lived an old man named Mr Dawson. In his garden， there was a big apple tree which bore many attractive fruits every autumn. People in the town all knew that Daw-son was a bad?tempered guy， so even kids knew that they could not go into his yard to pick a delicious apple， even on the ground， because old Dawson， they said， would chase you and might harm you. Everyone in the town tried not to talk with him and kept away from him ex-cept Janet who always smiled at Mr Dawson every time she walked by his house.

Janet was a 10?year?old girl. People in this town loved this lovely girl because she al-ways wore a smile on her face and greeted everyone she met in the town. She said her grandma once told her that if she pretended everyone was smiling an invisible smile at her and smiled back at them， sooner or later they would really smile， because smiles were con-tagious.

One Friday， Janet invited her friend Amy to stay all night with her. They looked for-ward to this wonderful night. They had lots of interesting plans， including listening to their favorite music and playing games together. Both of them were excited about the night. But Amy didn't know that they had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Janet's house until they got close to Mr Dawson's house. Seeing Dawson sitting on his front porch， Amy was frightened and suggested they should cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children， she was scared of the old man because of the stories she'd heard about him. But Janet said， “Don't be worried. Mr Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone.” Still， Amy was grow-ing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house. When they got close enough， Dawson looked up with his usual frown.

寫作導引

一、語篇研讀

二、情節(jié)構(gòu)思

基于原文和續(xù)寫段落首句提供的信息，采用圍繞中心提問的方法，構(gòu)思要續(xù)寫的故事情節(jié)，這一過程一般分為四步。

第一步，根據(jù)已給出的文本判斷文章的立意。

文章給出的部分主要記敘的是小鎮(zhèn)上的人都不喜歡脾氣古怪的道森先生，除了珍妮特。結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容可知，珍妮特是一個可愛、善良的小姑娘。她的祖母教育她微笑是可以互相影響的，所以她一直笑對每一個人，由此可推斷出本文的立意是“微笑的力量”。

第二步，根據(jù)續(xù)寫第二段所給出的段首句倒推續(xù)寫第一段應(yīng)包括什么內(nèi)容。

分析續(xù)寫第二段的段首句可知，埃米手里拿著蘋果，問珍妮特為什么大家都害怕的道森先生對她這么和善。由此可知，續(xù)寫第一段要寫道森先生和珍妮特進行了友好的問候與交談，并給了這兩個小女孩他自己院子里種出來的蘋果這樣的情節(jié)，這樣才能確保續(xù)寫的兩段是相銜接的。

第三步，圍繞續(xù)寫第一段所給出的段首句以及上面的分析進行提問構(gòu)思：

（1）Seeing Janet， what did Mr Dawson say and do？

（2）What would Janet and Mr Dawson talk about？

（3）After getting the apples given by Mr Dawson， how did the two girls feel？

第四步，圍繞續(xù)寫第二段所給出的段首句進行提問構(gòu)思：

（1）Was Mr Dawson nice to Janet from the very beginning？

（2）Since when has Mr Dawson been kind to Janet and why？
