读后续写原题目：

[1]I looked around at the other patients waiting to see the doctor. Maybe they all

had more romantic plans for the evening on this Valentine’s Day, but for now the

group seemed anti-social. Three people had their heads down, staring at cell phones.

Another was absorbed in a magazine. The receptionist tapped at her computer.

Everyone was in their own little world.

[2]But I couldn’t judge them for it. I would probably be buried in my cell phone

too --if I hadn’t forgotten to charge it before I left home. It would have been nice to

strike up a conversation to pass the time on this day, a day of love and friendship.

Instead I sat patiently in my plastic chair as a couple of new people took distant seats.

[3]“Roberta? The doctor’s ready for you,” the nurse called. At least I’ll have

some kind of human connection, I thought.

[4]My checkup went well, and I breezed out of the office to my little Honda in a

space right out front. I got in and turned the key. Nothing. Oh, no. Not again. I’d sent

the car to the garage several times already for this very problem and thought it had

finally been fixed.

[5]I reached for my cell phone to call AAA -- then remembered. It was dead, like

my car. I would have to use the phone inside. A few people glanced up when I came

back into the waiting room, then quickly went back to what they were doing. I went

straight to the reception desk, but the receptionist was not there. So I turned back to

the people in the waiting room.

[6]“I wouldn’t normally do this,” I said to the group, hoping that I sounded

apologetic. Several people turned toward me to listen. “But my car won’”

[7]The nurse popped her head into the room. “You in trouble, Roberta?” she said.

“I’ll go and take a look.” I followed the nurse outside. As I passed through the door, I

felt someone was behind me.

Para. 1: I turned to see all the other patients following me.

Para. 2: I said a quick prayer and turned the key.

I turned to see all the other patients following me. A bit puzzled, I went to my car

and slid into the driver's seat.(承接首句, 推进情节) One of them called “Pop your

hood!” So I pressed the button. (自然过渡, 衔接人物) Several others bent at the hip,

presumably leaning in to check the engine. (铺垫下文)“The screw is loose,” one

assured me, “Trust me. I used to be a mechanic”. Having fetched the tool from his car,

he began to twist it. It was not long before he straightened up to rest, rubbing his back.

Unexpectedly, the other patients just volunteered to take his turn despite their own

health condition. (细节描写,情节推进) When the “mechanic” gave a thumbs-up,

everyone called out in unison, “Try it now!” (衔接下文)

I said a quick prayer and turned the key. The engine turned over immediately. A

cheer went up. (承接首句,推进情节)Several hands shut the hood. “Don’t make any

stops on the way home,” the “mechanic” said. “Keep the car running till the battery

gets a good charge.” (语言描写,丰满人物,铺垫主题) I backed my car out of the

space, then paused to wave at the crowd of people who’d saved the day. (完整故

事)My Honda never stalled again. It turns out that my waiting room team had done a

better job than my garage ever did. I guess that’s just what happens when people

come together. And there’s no better valentine than that.(引出主题,呼应前文)

I turned to see all the other patients following me. Before I uttered my confusion,

a male patient smiled, “We may also lend a helping hand.” Nodding at him

appreciatively, I turned round, paced forward and unlocked the car. As I settled on the

seat, a young man drove his car towards unexpectedly, waving a lead in his hand out

of the window. No sooner had I responded than he boomed out that I probably got a

flat battery. Some other patients around turning on the flashlights of their cell phones

spontaneously, the young man checked the parts and connected the lead shortly.

Startling and gratefully, I was asked to give a try.

I said a quick prayer and turned the key. With the familiar humming of the engine

coming back to my ears, the cheering swelled from the assemble patients. “Safe

drive!” the nurse and the couple enjoined me, while others all fanned out, bidding

farewell with brisk whistles and waving arms. Their figures stood out starkly against

the yellow headlights of my little Honda, like the golden stars in the dark sky. Though

what lay on my front passenger seat was some “gifts” from the doctor rather than

chocolates on this Valentine’s Day, my heart was definitely crammed full of

sweetness and satisfaction.

I turned to see all the other patients following me. A little confused, I went to

my car and got into the driver's seat. One of them shouted, "Open your engine

cover!", so I pushed the button. Several others bent at the waist, probably to

lean in and check the engine. "The thing is a bit loose," one of them assured me,

"trust me. I used to be a car mechanic." After taking the tool from his car, he

began to turn it. Before long, he was sitting up and rubbing his back.

Unexpectedly, the other patients, despite their own health conditions,

volunteered to take his turn. When the "mechanic" gave the thumbs up, they all

shouted in agreement, "Try it now!

I said a quick prayer and turned the key. The engine started immediately. A

cheer went up. Several hands closed the engine top. "Don't stop on the way

home," said the "mechanic". "Keep the car running until the battery is well

charged." I pulled my car out of the lot, then stopped to wave to the crowd of

people who'd saved the day. My Honda never broke down again. It turned out

that my waiting room team had done a better job than my garage ever did. I

guess that's what happens when people get together. And there's no better

Valentine than that.

I turned to see all the other patients following me. A puzzle flashed in my mind

whether they just came to see my embarrassment. But when seeing their worried

expression, I knew the opposite. Before I arrived at my dead car, someone had been

one foot ahead of me, checking what was wrong with it on earth. Smiling at him, I

handed him the key, waiting for a good result. Obviously, the patient showed great

talent in fixing cars. After having checked all the possibilities raised by other patients,

he located where the problem lay and tried to fix it. His confidence melted my worries.

Few minutes later, he said I could try it now. (105 words)

I said a quick prayer and turned the key. To my pleasant surprise, the car came back

to life, its engine working merrily. I thanked the gifted patients, bowing to them again

and again. No beautiful words could describe my earnest gratitude to the group

seeming anti-social minutes before. Waving goodbye to those lovely and helpful

people, I headed for home with great delight and satisfaction, for nothing was better

than a group of strangers who would be glad to offer their timely assistance to me.

Indeed, it wasn’t an ordinary Valentine’s Day, but a day full of love and friendship,

which would inspire me to provide necessary help to those in need. (104 words)

I turned to see all the other patients following me.“I grew up on a farm,” one of

the men said as I slid into the driver’s seat. “Something was forever on the

blink.”“Pop your hood!” someone called. I pressed the first button I saw, but

I mistakenly opened the fuel door, which made everyone laugh. Eventually,

several people checked the engine, and one former mechanic among them

claimed that the battery terminal was loose, offering to fix it with tools he had in

his trunk. However, due to his neuropathy, he needed someone to twist the

terminal. A guy in a vest and tie volunteered. “I don’t know diddly about cars,”

he said. “But I can twist something!” He disappeared under the the

mechanic gave a thumbs-up, everyone called out in unison, “Try ’er now!”

I said a quick prayer and turned the key. The engine turned over immediately. A

cheer went up. Several hands shut the hood. “Don’t make any stops on the way

home,” the farmer said. “Keep the car running till the battery gets a good

charge.”I backed my car out of the space, then paused to wave at the crowd of

people who’d saved the Honda never stalled again. Turns out, my

waiting room team had done a better job than my garage ever did. I guess that’s

just what happens when people come together. And there’s no better valentine

than that.

I turned to see all the other patients following me. Though wondering whether

they were simply coming for the ride or really meant to help out, I opened the

car door, inserted the key in the locked and turned the key. Still, it didn’t work!

I shrugged, not knowing what to do. At the very moment, the nurse came up and

introduced one patient to me, “It’s Mr. Smith, a mechanic. Maybe he can help

you out.” Though a little in disbelief, I saw him get down to business. After he

ruled out all the possibilities that led to the problem, he found out where the

problem lay, fetched the tools from his car and only minutes later, he had the

work done. “It should work,” he announced, gesturing for me to try again.

I said a quick prayer and turned the key. It worked! And all the people

around gave thumbs-up to the man, as if celebrating the greatest ever wonder in

the world. Just minutes ago, everyone was head down in their own world. But

now we were in a world of everyone. With many thanks to the man and Happy

Valentine to everyone in the hospital, I turned and headed back home. We have

romantic Valentines every year, but I knew this year’s Valentine must be the

sweetest one.
