It was November 2008 in Astoria, a small city in the western part of Oregon, USA. Don McLean, a60-year-old kind-hearted landlord(房東), had a tenant(租客) named Josiah, who was 50 years old and had come from a poverty-stricken family to seek work in Astoria.
When Josiah first moved in, he was clearly having a hard time making ends meet. Don noticed that Josiah was constantly worried and seemingly economical with every expense. He also saw that Josiah often ate very simple and insufficient meals. One day, when the rent was due, Josiah came to Don with a look of great embarrassment. He hesitated as he tried to explain that he didn't have the full $300. Don immediately realized the depth of Josiah' financial struggle. Without hesitation, he said to Josiah softly, “I know you're having a tough time. I'm going to reduce the rent to $100 per month. We all need a helping hand sometimes.” Josiah was extremely grateful and gave Don a great deal of thanks.
However, one year later, Josiah's wife fell il. Worried about her, he returned to his hometown, which was a four-hour walk from Astoria, Due to the long distance, his communication with Don became less frequent.
To pay for his wife's medical bills and medicine, Josiah spent all his savings. Despite working hard every day he still couldn't manage financially and led a very difficult life. But fortunately, his wife's condition gradually improved.
One day, Josiah happened to hear that Don was seriously ill and still in hospital. He knew that Don's son was working in the UK and couldn't return immediately, He only had his elderly wife by his side. Remembering how Don had helped him, Josiah made a firm decision: to visit Don. With only $13 in his pocket, Josiah chose to walk to Astoria to save money, After a tiring four-hour journey, he finally arrived.

文章大意：
2008 年 11 月，在美國俄勒岡州西部小城阿斯托里亞，60 歲善良的房東唐 麥克林有一位 50 歲租客約西亞。約西亞初來乍到時經濟拮據，連 300 美元房租都難以湊齊，唐見狀將房租降至 100 美元。一年后，約西亞妻子生病，他回老家后與唐聯系漸少。后來約西亞得知唐病重住院，兒子在英國無法趕回，他雖身無分文卻毅然決定走四小時去看望唐，還花僅有的 13 美元中的 11 美元買蘋果給唐，以此回報唐曾經的幫助，體現了善良與感恩的傳遞。
故事分析：
伏筆及回應：
伏筆：約西亞初來時經濟困難，連房租都交不起，為后文他沒錢給妻子治病以及看望唐時身無分文做鋪墊。 回應：在得知唐生病后，他即便只有 13 美元也想著買東西去看望，體現他雖窮但不忘感恩。
伏筆：唐毫不猶豫地給約西亞減租，展現唐的善良，暗示約西亞會感恩回報。 回應：約西亞聽聞唐生病后堅定地長途跋涉去看望并買蘋果，回報唐的善意。
伏筆：約西亞妻子生病，他花光積蓄且經濟困難，進一步突出他的艱難處境，與后文他仍堅持看望唐形成對比。 回應：即便生活艱難，他還是選擇用僅有的錢買蘋果給唐，更顯其感恩之心的珍貴。
伏筆：提到唐的兒子在英國無法趕回，身邊只有老妻，為約西亞的到來提供了合理性，同時也強調唐此時的無助，更凸顯約西亞看望行為的溫暖。 回應：約西亞在這種情況下的出現，給唐帶來了精神上的慰藉和感動。
伏筆：約西亞從距離阿斯托里亞四小時路程的家鄉趕來，體現路途遙遠艱辛，側面反映他看望唐的決心。 回應：歷經長途跋涉后仍堅持去醫院，展現其堅定的感恩之情。
續寫要點：
第一段：
描述約西亞帶著蘋果前往醫院途中的心理活動，如對唐病情的擔憂，對過往唐幫助自己的回憶，堅定自己看望唐的決心。
可以增加一些細節描寫，如醫院的環境氛圍，約西亞在醫院問路尋找唐病房時的情景，進一步渲染緊張且充滿溫情的氛圍。
第二段：
著重描寫約西亞與唐在病房相見的場景，包括兩人的表情、動作和對話，展現出他們之間深厚的情誼。
可以提到唐對約西亞到來的意外和感動，約西亞如何安慰唐，以及兩人對未來的期許，升華故事的情感主題。
情感線：
故事起始于約西亞因貧困而產生的焦慮與無助，唐的善良相助讓他心懷感恩。當約西亞得知唐病重，雖自身處境艱難，但感恩之情驅使他不顧路途遙遠和自身饑餓，用僅有的錢買蘋果去看望唐。在醫院里，唐被約西亞的行為深深感動，兩人之間的情誼因這份善良與感恩得以升華，從最初的房東與租客的關系，轉變為相互扶持、珍視彼此的摯友，體現出人性中善良與感恩的美好光輝以及人與人之間真摯情感的強大力量。
故事線：
約西亞初到阿斯托里亞，經濟窘迫難以支付房租。
唐體諒約西亞，主動將房租降至 100 美元。
約西亞妻子生病，回老家后經濟陷入困境。
約西亞得知唐病重，身無分文仍決定走四小時去看望。
約西亞途中用大部分錢買蘋果準備帶給唐。
約西亞到達醫院，與唐相見，兩人情誼升溫。
主旨升華句：
Kindness is like a boomerang; what you give out, you will surely receive back in the most unexpected ways.（善良就像回旋鏢，你所付出的，一定會以最意想不到的方式回報給你。）
In the tapestry of life, every act of kindness weaves a thread that binds us all together in an unbreakable bond of humanity.（在生活的織錦中，每一個善舉都編織出一根線，將我們所有人緊密相連，形成一種牢不可破的人性紐帶。）
The flame of gratitude, once ignited, can warm the coldest of hearts and light up the darkest of days, as shown by Josiah's selfless act.（感恩的火焰一旦點燃，就能溫暖最冰冷的心，照亮最黑暗的日子，正如約西亞的無私行為所展現的那樣。）
True friendship is not measured by wealth or convenience, but by the willingness to stand by each other in times of need, just as Don and Josiah did.（真正的友誼不是用財富或便利來衡量的，而是看在困難時刻是否愿意相互扶持，就像唐和約西亞所做的那樣。）
A single act of kindness can create a ripple effect, spreading love and compassion far beyond what we can imagine, as seen in the story of these two men.（一個小小的善舉可以產生漣漪效應，將愛與同情傳播得遠遠超出我們的想象，就像這兩個人的故事所呈現的那樣。）
寫作示范：
第一篇
Paragraph 1: Feeling extremely hungry, Josiah reached out for his $13 in the pocket. But as his fingers touched the crumpled bills, he thought of Don's kindness and the difficult days he had helped him through. He couldn't bring himself to spend the money on his own hunger. Instead, he walked into a small store near the hospital. The smell of freshly baked bread made his stomach growl, but his resolve was firm. He picked up a bag of apples, knowing they were a simple yet meaningful gift. After paying $11, he clutched the remaining two dollars and the apples tightly, making his way to Don's room.
Paragraph 2: With the apples he spent $11 on, Josiah entered Don's hospital room. The sight of Don lying pale on the bed tugged at his heartstrings. Don's eyes widened in surprise and then softened with gratitude as Josiah approached. "I... I brought you these," Josiah stammered, holding out the apples. Don managed a weak smile, "You didn't have to, but I'm so glad you're here." They talked about the past, the hardships they had each faced, and the hope that still lingered. In that moment, the walls of the hospital room seemed to fade away, and all that remained was the unbreakable bond of friendship and kindness that had grown between them.
第二篇
Paragraph 1: Feeling extremely hungry, Josiah reached out for his $13 in the pocket. His hand trembled slightly as he considered using the money to buy a meal. But the image of Don's kind face flashed before his eyes, and he knew he had to do something more meaningful. With determination, he entered a grocery store and scanned the shelves. The apples, red and shiny, caught his attention. He thought of how they symbolized health and vitality, something he wished for Don. After spending $11 on a bunch of apples, he left the store, his heart filled with anticipation of seeing his old friend.
Paragraph 2: With the apples he spent $11 on, Josiah entered Don's hospital room. Don was dozing, but stirred when he heard the door open. When he saw Josiah, his eyes lit up with a mixture of surprise and joy. "Josiah, you came all this way " he exclaimed. Josiah nodded, placing the apples on the bedside table. "You helped me when I needed it most. This is the least I could do." As they shared stories and laughter, the bond between them grew stronger. It was a testament to the power of kindness and the beauty of friendship that could withstand the test of time and hardship.
讀后續寫參考答案
Feeling extremely hungry, Josiah reached out for his $13 in the pocket. How much he wanted to buy himself something to eat with those 13 dollars! But he remembered how Don had not hesitated to lower the rent when he was struggling, and he hoped to buy something, however small, to bring a bit of comfort to Don during his illness. Recalling that Don had once mentioned his fondness for apples, he knew what he should do. He used $11 to buy five apples, carefully selecting the freshest ones in the store. Then, with the remaining $2, he bought a simple sandwich for himself to quickly ease his hunger.
With the apples he spent $11 on, Josiah entered Don's hospital room. Don was lying in bed, looking pale and weak. Josiah walked over and said softly, “Don, I'm Josiah.” Don opened his eyes and was surprised, “Josiah, why are you here ” Don asked weakly. Josiah held Don's hand, saying, “You helped me when I was in trouble. Now it's my turn to be here for you. “Then, Don asked Josiah about his journey and the apples. Josiah had to tell him the truth. Hearing this, Don was deeply touched and said, “Josiah, you have so little but still think of me. I will never forget this gesture.”
