【文章梗概】我小时候，爸爸总在打字机上写小说。后来我们大吵一架，冷战四年。是彼此的思念让我们最后原谅和解。爸爸过世后，我发现了他写给妈妈的情书，这刷新了我对爸爸的认知---他不是只有严肃的样子，也有温柔多情的一面。这封信也重新点燃了我对写作的热爱。人生如戏，这就是我和爸爸的故事---第一幕，是误解；第二幕，是争执；第三幕，是爱。

We cannot destroy kindred: Our chains stretch a little sometimes, but they never

break.

~Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise de Sévigné

Most of my childhood memories of my father include watching him as he sat at his desk,

typing away on his typewriter for hours almost every night. He dreamed of publishing a novel.

He worked tirelessly on it for years. It was a serious, unsentimental novel, much like my

father, who was a serious, unsentimental man. Or so I thought.

Despite being fearful of my father, I could not help but be fascinated by his never-ending

typing. Dad used his index fingers to type, and he typed very loudly. Peck, peck, peck

emanated constantly from his corner of the family room.

Although I was a generally obedient child, I morphed into a teenage hellion. While I

was busy rebelling against my overly protective parents, my father continued working on his

novel. Between heated arguments, he and I ignored each other. Looking back, I believe this

was how it had to be for us. During this time, I fell in love with the written word, but never

shared this new passion with Dad. His peck, peck, peck was just background noise to me

during those teenage years.

When I was twenty-two years old, my father and I had a monumental argument that led

to my dramatic departure from his house. I refused to return for another four years. And

during those four long years, I did not utter a single word to him.

While I was on this self-imposed sabbatical from my father, my career progressed nicely.

My life appeared to be pleasant and stable. And yet, I often dreamed about my father, feeling

melancholy and empty when I awoke. Eventually, my mother shared with me that he

frequently cried in his sleep, fretting about my absence. Given that he was an outwardly

unemotional man, I did not know how to react except with disbelief. I wanted to return to him,

but he and I were worlds apart, at least in my mind. It seemed like we could not coexist

peacefully.

Still, I was completely torn. Throughout my twenties, I did some extensive

soul-searching. Finally, I had a stunning breakthrough: My father and I were actually the

same! Both of us were strong-willed and proud and, most importantly, we missed each other

dearly. I realized it wasn’t his job to be the person I wanted him to be. It was my job to love

and accept the person he was. These epiphanies led to a miraculous and long-awaited

reconciliation with Dad that shocked everyone. Our silent war was finally over after four

emotionally excruciating years.

He never asked me why I drastically changed my attitude toward him. He just took me

back into his open arms without asking for even a semblance of an explanation — just what

one would expect a loving and forgiving father to do. To be honest, at the time, I didn’t know

if he had forgiven me or I had forgiven him. But looking back, I realize that we had forgiven

each other.

During the golden years of his life, we had a wonderful time together. Eventually, he

started to talk to me about his novel. Peck, peck, peck became a newly comforting sound to

my ears. But I still never talked to him about my love for writing. Mostly, I felt I had to

“forget” about writing to pursue a more practical career. Or perhaps I feared I would never

be as talented a writer as he was. After all, the last thing I wanted to do was to disappoint my

father.

As I grew closer to Dad, I thought I knew everything there was to know about him. Little

did I know about the surprise he would leave me.

When I was thirty-two, he passed away right before Father’s Day. After the funeral, I

was organizing his belongings when I found a very old manuscript that I did not recognize.

As I began to read it, I realized that it was an extremely romantic account about my mother, a

love letter so to speak, written by my father! I was in shock as I read his beautiful words. Was

the hopeless, sentimental romantic who wrote this letter actually my frequently stern, serious

father? I could not believe it, and neither did anyone else.

My mother had little recollection of this letter, which led me to suspect that I was the

first person to read it. It was as if my father had let me in on his life’s secret so that we could

continue our relationship even after he had left. I missed him even more.

One of the biggest ironies of my life is that I understood my father better in death than I

did when he was alive. The way I see it now, this love story between Dad and me happened

exactly the way it was meant to. For most of my life, I didn’t really understand him, and when

I was ready to truly know and appreciate him, he was gone. But in his absence, Dad left me a

hidden treasure in the form of a romantic account, a love letter, about my mother so that I

could discover the man that he was underneath.

Perhaps I was meant to find his letter later in life so that he could inspire me to write

again. Dad passed away before realizing his dream of completing his novel. However, I know

in my heart that he is sitting right next to me, finishing his novel as I type these very words. I

can hear the peck, peck, peck — the sound of my father, the secret hopeless romantic.

As an aspiring screenwriter, I have been taught to tell my stories in the classic three-act

structure of most films. When I look back at my relationship with my father, I realize that our

relationship played out just like a classic tale of forgiveness. In Act 1, I misunderstood him.

In Act 2, I fought him. But in Act 3, I loved him.

拓展练习读后续写

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。

Riya, an 8-year-old pupil, lived happily in a big city with her parents, who loved Riya dearly

and did what they could to buy what she wanted for her. Riya was smart and excellent in her

studies. Not only that, she was always ready to help others.

One day when Riya entered her classroom, she saw a crowd admiring Riya’s friend Mary’s

new pen and talking cheerfully. Riya fell in love with that pen at first glance and desired to get

Mary’s permission to let her use it. Seconds later, the school bell rang, sending the children

hurrying to the school grounds for morning prayers.

After a while, their teacher Grace let Riya fetch some chalk from the classroom, in which

Riya once again saw Mary’s delicate pen, lying on the desk elegantly. Riya took it fondly and

went to her desk, ready to write on her book with the lovely pen when she heard the sound of

someone walking by. Without thinking, she put the pen in her pocket and saw who it was. Jane,

her other friend, was returning to the classroom. Riya immediately ran out from the back door

noiselessly and went to the playground to pray

The morning prayers finished, everyone went to class, followed by their teacher Grace. The

moment Mary found her pen was missing, she got annoyed. Without delay, she ran to the front and

complained to Grace, saying in tears, “Someone must have stolen my new pen.”

Having quietened the noisy class, Grace asked them who was in the classroom during the

prayers. Almost everyone pointed at Jane, who explained she just felt uncomfortable when praying

and came back to rest. Grace asked Jane if she had taken Mary’s new pen, to which Jane said no

firmly, insisting she knew nothing about that pen. But she had nobody to prove her words.

Suspected and feeling sad, Jane burst out crying.

Everything happened fast and unexpectedly before Riya suddenly realized the pen was still in

her pocket. She froze on the spot, afraid of being treated as a thief.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

But Riya knew what was the right thing to do.

Grace nodded and patted Riya on the back with a relieved smile.

拓展练习读后续写参考范文

But Riya knew what was the right thing to do. Nervous and anxious as she was, Riya took courage

to walk toward Jane, standing in front of her and saying in an apologetic voice, “Sorry, Jane, it

was I that made you misunderstood by others.” Then, Riya turned around to tell Grace what was

the truth and claimed that the misunderstanding was caused by her inconsideration. She

apologized to Mary with head bowed and tears running down her cheeks, asking sincerely, “I am

really sorry for using the new pen without your permission. But I did not do it on

you please forgive me?” After her words, the air in the classroom seemed to be still like dead

water.

Grace nodded and patted Riya on the back with a relieved smile. She cleared her throat,

uttering, “Riya, I am so touched by your honesty and courage. You are a good girl.” She also

expressed her apology to Jane and comforted her. She told the whole class that making a mistake

was not terrible and that the courage to admit it truly counted. Apparently, Riya set a good

example for everyone else. Since it was a misunderstanding, Mary grinned understandingly at

Riya and replied, “I forgive you and I’d like to share this new pen with you.” Hearing her words,

Riya couldn’t help hugging Mary. It was at that time that Riya came to realize what mattered most

was not the mistake made by her but honesty and courage to take the blame for it.
