3．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。
Break was almost over. Normally, I didn’t bother to keep track of Michael Peterson. I tried to ignore him. But today was Valentine’s Day, a special day for children to exchange “valentine cards” with each of their classmates. No way was I going to let him play a mean trick today.
Michael Peterson sits next to me in class. He’s also my neighbor. So I know him. And I was sure he was up to something, because he always is. Last week, he put a sign on my back that said Sing to Me! It was terrible. Sure, maybe it was funny at first, if a little confusing. Everywhere I went, people I didn’t even know started singing to me. But once I realized it was just because of the sign on my back, I was extremely angry. Michael played tricks like that all the time. So I knew what he was doing now — ruining someone’s Valentine’s Day.
I was going to stop him. But where was he? He wasn’t on the playground for break as supposed to be. “Have you seen Michael?” I asked Josh, who swung down from the monkey bars and said, “Which Michael?”
“Michael Peterson,” I said. I had forgotten about Michael Rogers, the new kid in our class.
Josh shrugged. “Haven’t seen him.” Then he grinned. “He’s probably off playing a funny trick.”
I sighed. “That’s what I’m afraid of.” I headed for the classroom. There was Michael Peterson — at Michael Rogers’ desk, digging in his box of valentine cards! “Michael, leave that box alone!” I ordered.
“Hurry and help me,” Michael said.
I stared at him in amazement. He wanted me to help him? “No way!” I said, thinking that he was stealing valentine cards from Michael Rogers’ box. Then, after watching him for a moment, I added, “What are you doing, anyway?”

Paragraph 1：
The more I watched my next-door neighbor, the more confused I became.

【答案】One Possible Version:
The more I watched my next-door neighbor the more confused I became. Instead of taking valentines out of the box. he was putting them in. But whatever he did. I was sure it was wrong. I scolded him for picking on the poor kid. Michael just kept working and denied playing a trick. He explained that he was the last person to pass out his valentines before break. When he got to Michael Rogers' box, he noticed it was empty. No one remembered to make the new kid a card. So actually he was giving him his cards. After all, the cards he received from classmates all said "Michael" on them.
I stood there, not quite believing what I was hearing. "You mean you're doing something nice?" I asked. "Of course. When haven't I been nice?" he teased. I blinked but gave no reply. I helped Michael to shake out his cards through the slot in his valentine box. Then we stuffed the cards into Michael Rogers' box. I felt a mixture of embarrassment and satisfaction striking into my heart. Maybe I had misunderstood him and maybe he's even kind of sweet…in hidden sort of way.
