Harry Black was tired of the daily routine and always desired for something new to happen. One weekend in August Harry Black and his wife walked down to a river near their house. The sun was hot and they did not walk quickly.

“There’s nothing new here,” Harry said. “It’s always the same. Let’s go somewhere else.”

His wife laughed. “Look over there on the ground,” she said. “Isn’t it a key?”

Harry walked over to the key and looked at it. The key was not very large and it had the number 164 on it. Obviously, it wasn’t a car key or a door key but a key to a box and they decided to take it to the police station.

The railway station was near the police station. There was a hotel in the railway station. “Shall we have a drink in the hotel?” Harry said.

Harry and his wife began to walk through the railway station to the hotel. They came to some lockers(寄存柜). Each locker had a number, a lock and a key. People put things in these lockers, and left them there for an hour or two. The people locked the doors and took the keys away with them.

When she saw the lockers, Harry’s wife said, “I know what that key is. It’s the key from one of those lockers. Someone put something in a locker, locked the door, took the key away and then lost it.”

Harry took the key out of his pocket and wondered whether there was a locker number 164 there. They went to the lockers and soon found number 164. Harry looked at the key. He looked at the key in locker number 164. He told his wife that he was going to open the locker but his wife didn’t like that.

“I’m not going to take them,” Harry said. “I’m only going to look at them.”

“Please don’t,” his wife said. “Let’s go and have our drink and then take the key to the police station.”

But Harry wanted to see what was in the locker. ________________________

Harry turned quickly and two policemen were standing next to him._____________________

Grinding an iron rod into a needle

Li Bai was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty of China.

It is said that in his childhood, he was very fond of playing and afraid of difficulties, and made slow progress in his studies. One day, on his way home after school, he walked by a creek and saw an old woman grinding（磨碎）a very, very thick iron rod. Being curious, he went to the old woman and asked, “Old grandma, why are you grinding this iron rod?” The old woman replied, “To make a needle.” At this moment, Li Bai felt more curious and asked again, “How can you grind such a thick iron rod into a needle?” “Yes, I can. I certainly can,” the old woman said. “If one works with constant effort, one can grind an iron rod into a needle.” Hearing what the old woman said, Li Bai was enlightened. Since then, Li Bai studied hard and made rapid progress. Eventually he became a famous poet.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

That Christmas Eve in1881 was like none other in the long history of celebrating the occasion. I was 15 years old and feeling like the world was over for me because there hadn’t been enough money to buy me the rifle (长枪) that I had wanted badly that year. The Christmas was not going to be merry.

Father came back in and there was ice in his beard. “Come on, Matt,” father said. “Dress warmly. It’s cold outside. We’re going to Widow（寡妇）Jensen’s. They are out of wood and necessities of life.” Widow Jensen lived about two miles down the road. Her husband had died a year or so before, leaving her with three children, the oldest being eight.

I unwillingly went out with father and we loaded the sled (雪橇）high with wood. Then we went to the store in the town and father took down a big ham, some bacon, a sack of flour and some shoes, which were put into a smaller sack. Riding against the bitterly cold snow, we covered the distance of the two miles to Widow Jensen’s in dead silence. I tried to think all the way what father was doing. I knew we didn’t have much money and Widow Jensen had closer neighbors than us. It shouldn’t have been our concern.

Widow Jensen opened the door and let us in. She had a blanket wrapped around her shoulders, still trembling. The children were wrapped in another and were sitting in front of the fireplace by a very small fire that hardly gave off any heat at all. “We brought you a few things, Madam,” father said and set down the sack of flour. I put the meat on the table. Then father handed her the sack that had the shoes in it.
