didn’t have to think at all. ______________________________________________________________________________________________
One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were ______________________________________________________________________________________________
butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you ” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. ______________________________________________________________________________________________
“What will you give me ” he whispered back. Ruby showed Ollie a stone she had. It was round and ______________________________________________________________________________________________
smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my ______________________________________________________________________________________________
answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the ______________________________________________________________________________________________
maths champion chart. ______________________________________________________________________________________________
Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie ______________________________________________________________________________________________
had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a
gift box!
One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything
would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again.
But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said.
Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley,” she
said, “Come with me, please.” Ruby felt like a bird in a cage—there was no way to escape. The
headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to
think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150左右；

【参考范文】
Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. She realized it was her fault that put them into such a shameful situation. “I am so sorry that I’d like to make a sincere apology to you.” Ruby said to Ollie with tears rolling down her cheeks. Hearing this, Ollie felt ashamed with his cheeks burning and said, “I should also take the responsibility for the matter. To make up for this fault, I will try my best to help you.” Ruby wiped her tears and was determined to spare no effort to learn maths with Ollie.
Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. He was always ready to help whenever Ruby met with difficulties. As time went by, with the assistance of Ollie, Ruby gradually made great progress in maths. Eventually, they both got full marks in the final examination once again. The headmaster praised them for the progress they had made. It was at the moment that they really felt proud of themselves. What an unforgettable and meaningful experience, which taught them a lesson of honesty and true friendship.
