2024届高考英语读后续写训练4（Christmas and the homeless）
The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December twenty-fifth. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day, for people were supposed to be spending time with their families, exchanging gifts and wishes.
I was guiding nurse that day and had just done the cleanup in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, “Five, how did I get five. I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.”
“Well, there are five signed in.”
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
“Are you all sick ” I asked suspiciously.
“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
“Okay,” I replied, unconvinced, “Who’s first ” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the descriptions of their symptoms, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. When I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients, she responded, “Take your time; it’s warm in here and there is a Christmas tree.”
Then the mother turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
The nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.

Sample 1:
(P1) Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
The rest froze, eyes falling on their little sister.
The guilty mother looked upset, great sorrow clouding her face.
Met with refusal, the wretched creature was on the verge of tears.
The youngest kid was staring at gifts on the tree, exclaiming something to her mother.
Realizing they were homeless, I went back and told my colleagues what had happened.
Though warm, the room was far from comfortable for children, who nestled closely by the Christmas tree.
(P2) My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.
With gifts in hand, the kids couldn't restrain their joy, whose laughter became quite infectious.
The waiting room pulsed with happiness and we were able to locate a shelter that would take the family in.
Soon we were busy preparing presents for our unexpected guests, who just wanted to stay warm on Christmas Day.
As they were leaving, the mother hugged each of us and whispered, “You're our angels and it's your love that warms us up!”
Sample 2:
(P1) Then the mother turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
“Look at the little teddy bear!”
I nodded but doubt began to grow.
Soon, the other siblings followed suit.
“Madam, is this teddy bear sent by Santa Clause ”
The little girl asked me curiously, “Never have I seen a real one.”
The kids’ twittering stirred the quiet hall, attracting my colleagues to the room.
However, one little girl slipped off the chair and ran briskly towards the Christmas tree.
Maybe sensing my question, the woman staggered in embarrassment, “We have been…homeless for years.”
(P2) My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.
The hospital was brimmed by laughter.
We decided to do something for them.
“This is the best gift I have got,” I murmured.
I squatted down and she threw herself into my arms.
The kids looked at us removing the gifts in confusion.
When hearing they were theirs, excitement was mapped on their faces.
I felt warm tears dripping down suddenly but I couldn’t tell whose they were.
“Madam, could I give you a hug ” the girl whispered to me in awe, her eyes twinkling with innocence.
