无人理睬的女孩

程志丽

小女孩Cindy在校没有朋友，一次偶然的机会，“我”保护了她，她向“我”询问她交不到朋友的原因，“我”该如实相告吗？Cindy的生活会有变化吗？

1 Last year there was a girl at our school who hardly talked to anyone. I think it was because she seldom showered， and she smelled kind of bad. Her name was Cindy Lindburg. I didnt know exactly where she lived， but it must have been somewhere in the neighborhood because we always got on the school bus at the same bus stop.

2 Cindy Lindburg didnt have many friends. She always came to the lunch room alone and left alone. On the bus， no one offered her a seat， and she never asked if she could share a seat with others. I thought that maybe it was because she was sort of a shy person. She seemed like a nice girl， who had an odor （气味） problem.

3 One day， I was walking up to the bus stop and I saw Carl Littleton making fun of her. I couldnt hear what he was saying， but I saw him laughing and rolling his eyes in his typical poking⁃fun⁃at⁃you way. I also saw how sad it made Cindy. Holding her notebook tightly to her chest like a shield， she stared at the ground and moved as far away from him as possible without leaving the bus stop entirely. As soon as I got close enough， I glared at Carl to make him stop laughing—even though I knew he probably wouldnt. He didnt， so I walked over and stood closer to Cindy so she wouldnt feel quite so bad. It was just one of those times when you just knew someone needed someone to be a friend.

4 I didnt think shed say anything， but she did. Her eyes peeked （偷看） up from staring at the ground and as though she thought Id be embarrassed if anyone heard her speaking to me， she whispered “Hi”.

5 “Hi，” I said. Then as loudly as I could， I said， “Dont pay any attention to Carl. His parents have been unsuccessful in teaching him some manners.”

6 Some of the kids standing there laughed. The comment didnt even rouse （喚醒） a smile out of Cindy. By now everyone there was talking with a friend. Quietly， and with a serious look on her face， Cindy said， “Why dont I have any friends？”

四、续写布局

文章最后一段写到，“我”对Cindy的安慰并没能让她产生一丝笑意，看到周围的人都在和朋友聊天，她神情严肃地问“我”为什么她没有朋友。

根据续写第一段的段首句“她的问题让我很惊讶。”，结合续写第二段的段首句“她似乎能很好地接受，我稍微松了口气。”，可以推测续写第一段主要讲述“我”虽然感到惊讶和为难，但最终“我”告诉了Cindy她没有朋友的原因并且她接受了这个原因。结合原文内容，“我”认为Cindy是一个害羞、善良、有体味问题的女孩，而告诉一个善良、害羞的女孩她有体味并不容易，这也是“我”在听到Cindy的问题时感到惊讶的原因。具体情节发展，可根据以下问题链展开：

1. What did I do？

2. How did Cindy react？

3. Did she accept the reason？

续写第二段的段首句“她似乎能很好地接受，我稍微松了口气。”遵循了正能量结局的原则。Cindy最后交到了朋友，“我”也为自己能为Cindy的生活带来好的转变而开心。因此可以推测，续写第二段主要围绕Cindy听从“我”的建议并做出了改变，最终交到朋友而展开。具体情节发展，可根据以下问题链展开：

1. What did I suggest？

2. How did Cindy feel？

3. What did Cindy do？

4. How did I feel for making a better change for Cindy？
