67、 on the Morccan（摩洛哥） coast. Hed been expecting us to arrive in Casablanca for a few days now, and since he had no telephone, hed written down his address and name and told us to just show uphis mother and sisters were always at home.Apparently the address he had written down was hard for foreigners
68、like us to understand. When we got into the neighborhood, our taxi driver started asking directions. Eventually, with the help of a policeman, we were led to a house down a winding road. Our driver went to the door and inquired. He came back saying Abdels sister was in this house visiting friends an
69、d would come along to show us where they lived.Soon a girl of about sixteen emerged from the house. Surprisingly, she didnt look like Abdel at all. Still, Id seen other families where children didnt look alike, so I didnt give it too much thought. She then brought us to a yard. We waited in the yard
70、 while the sister went in and returned accompanied by her mother, sisters and brother-in-law, all of whom greeted us with cautious warmth. We were shown into the living room. The mother told us in broken French that Abdel was out, but would be home soon. We sat on low, cushioned seats, drinking swee

Thank you for your warm reception during my visit to America. I really had a wonderful time staying at your home.The reason why
75、Im writing to you is that I wonder if you could do me a favor. I left so hurriedly that an important present I bought for a friend of mine was left behind in the room where I stayed. It was packed in a small red box and probably put on the bookshelf. I would appreciate it if you could mail it to me

I- Im sorry, Im afraid you are not the Abdel we are looking for, I giggled nervously. For a split second no one said anything. Th
78、en Abdel exclaimed heartily, It doesnt matter at all. After hearing our story, he asked us to show them the address.I took out the piece of paper Abdel had given me back in Kenitra and showed it to the new Abdel. This is Baalal Abdel! said the second Abdel. We went to school together! He lives less
79、than a kilometer from here. I will bring you to his house. After taking photos and exchanging addresses with the family, we hugged good-bye. Then the new Abdel led us to the home of our friend Abdel. There, I reached out and hugged him. All of us enjoyed what a beautiful surprise and simple kindness
80、 had opened to us: warmth, friendship and sincerity.写作指导：（from：孙三五老师）Clues:Setting: no telephone, Moroccan coast, a winding road,Characters: Abdel（a volunteer project）, a girl of about 16My puzzle: his sister didnt look like him, nor did other familiesEmotion: we were greeted with cautious warmthThe

82、ally we heard the words we had been waiting for from the mother, Please, Abdel is back in the living room. We sprang to our feet and entered the living room eagerly, grouped by exciting family members. A young man greeted us with a confused expression. God! he wasnt Abdel! The young man hugged me en
83、thusiastically and asked me whether we had met somewhere, Silence fell. Thus, I shared my story with him and told him there must have been something wrong with the address despite the same name.Paragraph 2:I took out the piece of paper Abdel had given me in Kenitra and showed it to the new Abdel.At
84、the moment, whispers came from the crowd, which grew into loud chatter. Heshrugged and said he couldnt read. Luckily, his sister exmained my paper and found where the problem was.

85、e for a night? said the young man earnestly. I replied with a heartfelt thankyou! followed by thundering cheers from the crowd. Yes, he was a different Abdel, but he showered us with as much warmth and kindness.（170 words）写作感悟：1.原文由于对话没有，我揣摩续写是不是也不要写多少对话，所以，续写只有一个对话。2.原文不少句式很复杂：例如: We waited in the
86、yard while the sister went in and returned accompanied by her mother, sisters and brother-in-law, all of whom greeted us with cautious warmth.We sat on low, cushioned seats, drinking sweet mint tea and eating sugar cookies, while the family members sat with us and made shy, polite conversation that
87、frequently fell into uncomfortable silence.可见：过去分词作状语，并配上定从；同时还有现在分词作伴随状语等。因此我在写的时候也写了下面的句子：We sprang to our feet and entered the living room eagerly, grouped by exciting family members.I replied with a heartfelt thank you!, followed by thundering cheers from the crowd.3.关于照应：原文有silence，所以：Silence f
