2.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。
After dinner, Mrs. Quimby told the family that Grandma, who lived on a farm, had sent in a lot of pumpkins for jack-o’-lanterns (空心南瓜灯) for the neighborhood children. There was one in the basement waiting to be carved, she added. Ramona sprang to her feet and dashed down to bring it up, but it was too heavy for a second-grader. Finally Mr. Quimby gave a hand.
“Let’s make it smile like last year,” exclaimed Ramona.
“Hmm. Let’s see.” Mr. Quimby studied the pumpkin, turning it to find the best side for the face. With a pencil he sketched (素描) a nose-shaped nose, not a triangle. Then the mouth turned up on both sides. “smiling!” Ramona clapped her hands.
Mr. Quimby nodded with a smile, cut a circle around the top of the pumpkin and lifted it off for a lid. Without being asked, Ramona found a big spoon for scooping out the seeds. Picky-picky, the Quimbys' shabby old cat, came into the kitchen to see if something had been put in his dish. When he found that it had not, he paused, sniffed the pumpkin smell and angrily walked out with his tail twitching.
Mr. Quimby began to whistle as he carved with skill and care, first a mouthful of teeth, each one neat and square, then eyes and eyebrows. He was working on two ears shaped like question marks when Mrs. Quimby announced it was bedtime for Ramona. Unwillingly Ramona ran, took a shower and quickly returned. Now, Mr. Quimby had just carved a few C-shaped curls (卷发) around the hole in the top of the pumpkin. He reached inside and dug a candle holder in the bottom.
“There,” he said, putting down his knife. “A work of art.” Mrs. Quimby found a candle stub (残根), inserted it in the pumpkin, lit it and set the lid in place. Ramona turned off the light. The jack-o’-lantern was smiling with a flickering flame. “Wow!” Ramona threw her arms around her father before going to bed with great satisfaction.

Paragraph 2:

【答案】In the middle of the night, Ramona awoke to a noise. Ramona turned on the light and jumped out of bed angrily. It turned out that the cat accidentally bumped the jack-o’-lantern to the floor while catching mice. It was broken. Looking at her beloved jack-o-lantern lying on the floor, the candle in it went out, Ramona began to cry. Mr. Quimby was also woken up, got up to comfort Ramona and helped her take the jack-o’-lantern to the table.
On the table their jack-o’-lantern no longer had a whole face. Ramona continued to cry, and dad decided to carve the pumpkin again. He picked up the knife and carved along the incomplete face of the pumpkin. The incomplete face became funnier, and the lantern laughed more brightly. Dad said, “Ramona, don't cry. Look at your pumpkin lantern. It’s alive again.” Ramona dried her tears and smiled with greater satisfaction.
