丑小鸭还是白天鹅？

广东 程志丽

Mohi每周一总会迟到而且穿着怪异，成了一些同学的“快乐源泉”。常被忽略的他，会参加教师节音乐会吗?

1The whole class burst out laughing as Mohi rushed into the classroom.He was a strange sight.His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama top (睡衣上衣)underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he wore a pair of bright green sandals (凉鞋) that were too big.The physics teacher's hand froze in the middle of writing something on the blackboard.

2Mohi mumbled,“Sorry, teacher.”and scuttled to his seat.Mr Tan glared at the rest of the students.The chuckles (轻声笑) quickly subsided (趋于平静).Mohi's classmates always looked forward to Mondays.Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi's late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.That day,it was the pajama top and green sandals.

3Mohi lived just a street away from the school.He walked to school daily.Students passing by in buses would yell his name in unison just to see him jump and stop in his tracks.When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly.Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends.His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time.Only Hamed,who sat next to Mohi,tried to be his friend.

4The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school.His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him.After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi's house to check on him.As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music.Mohi must be listening to music, he thought.The gate was not locked.Hamed let himself in.He called Mohi's name a few times but there was no response.The music played on.Hamed looked in through a window.His eyes widened in surprise.In the middle of the living room, Mohi was playing the violin.His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly.He played flawlessly so much so that it sounded like a recording.Hamed left quietly.

5Teachers' Day came around.It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers.Every class had to contribute a performance.

四、续写布局

根据续写第一段段首句的内容“在全班讨论表演的前一天，Hamed 有了一个计划”，结合第二段段首句的内容“音乐会当天，看到学校最笨拙的学生拿着小提琴走上舞台，老师和同学们都感到十分惊讶”，可推测续写第一段的主要内容是Hamed 成功说服了全班同学让Mohi 上台表演。续写第一段应介绍Hamed 的计划内容及他为计划付诸的行动。具体情节发展，可根据以下问题链推测：

1.What was the plan or what did Hamed do to conduct his plan?

2.How would Mohi respond?

3.What did Hamed do to persuade the whole class?

4.Did the class agree or not at last?

根据续写第二段段首句的内容“音乐会当天，看到学校最笨拙的学生拿着小提琴走上舞台，老师和同学们都感到十分惊讶”，可推测续写第二段的主要内容是Mohi的表演惊艳了所有人，并自此得到大家的关注，且Mohi 和Hamed 成了好朋友。具体情节发展，可根据以下问题链推测：

1.How did the teachers and students feel when they heard Mohi playing the violin?

2.When Mohi finished his performance,what did his classmates and teachers do?

3.What changed Mohi?

4.Did Mohi and Hamed become good friends?

5.How can we judge people and treat them?
