【文章梗概】父亲是长途司机，我和父亲聚少离多，青春期过后逐渐懂得了父亲教给我的做人道理——父亲曾经帮一位路人换轮胎而不求回报，只求自己的妻女遇到困难时也能得到同样的帮助。多年后的一天我的车在高速上抛锚，一位卡车司机如父亲当年所做，帮我换了轮胎，也说了和父亲一样的话，此时我体会到了助人为乐的“公路法则”，并深深感激父亲和帮助过我的好心人。

Blessed are those that can give without remembering and take without forgetting.

~Elizabeth Bibesco

As the daughter of a truck driver and a secretary, I grew up knowing my mother

far better than my father. As a young child I was “Daddy’s little girl,” but then

I hit those teen years and my relationship with my father no longer existed. He had

spent most of my life on the road, leaving before 4:00 A.M. and arriving home well

after my bedtime. By the time I was old enough to stay up past 9:00 P.M., I was no

longer Daddy’s little girl, I was a teenager. Now we were strangers—I didn’t know

him and he couldn’t have known me. It was almost as if one day he went out on the

truck, and, when he returned, I was 13. It took me years to understand that he had

no idea what to do with me. He didn’t know how to handle a teenage girl with

crazedhormones and a big mouth. The little girl who adored her daddy was replaced

by a

horrendous teen who liked nothing better than to have the last word in every

argument. And so began a lesson I will

I was a

rebellious teenager with big dreams and an open mind. During the hardest

parts of my life, I believe my mother

sustained me. When she attempted to guide me,

of course I fought every inch of the way. But she never let go—she held on for dear

life, and finally I

outgrew those

raging hormones and

outrageous behaviors. It was

during this time that I learned an important lesson from my father. A lesson of

strength, love, honesty and kindness.

One evening he returned from another day on the truck, probably delivering

cargo

to Brooklyn, the Bronx, Harlem or Philadelphia. He told us how that afternoon he

was on the highway and saw a woman opening her

trunk to take out a spare tire. He

stopped, introduced himself and proceeded to take over the task of changing the

1

blown-out tire. While he

jacked up the car, the woman told him how grateful she was

for his kindness. She said people’s fear of crime in urban areas often

dissuade

local people from stopping to help one another. When Dad finished changing the tire

and returning all of the equipment to the trunk of her car, she offered him a $20

bill for his help. He smiled at her and said, “No need. I have a wife and a daughter

who just started driving, and my only hope is that if ever one of them breaks down

on the side of the road, someone honest and friendly will stop and do for them what

I just did for you.” He said good-bye and headed back to the 18-wheeler he had left

with its motor running on the shoulder of the road.

This was a side of my father I didn’t see often. Instead, throughout my life,

my Brooklyn-Italian father

nonchalantly taught me the rules of the road and life

through loud funny stories shared

boisterously with his trucking buddies at family

parties. Through the laughter, I heard explanations of “on the road” safe places

to sleep, where to eat, definitions of respect, honesty and hard work, and “blue

collar” survival. I was 24 years old before I realized how much I had really learned

from him.

In 1992, I moved from my parents’ New Jersey home to an apartment in eastern

Kansas, where I worked as a volunteer for a civil rights organization. During those

three and a half years I traveled almost continuously. One day, the 12-year-old

daughter of a friend suggested we head to western Kansas to join the “Walk Across

America for Mother Earth.” As a firm believer in recycling and saving our

environment, I agreed. The next day I borrowed my roommate’s car for the four-hour

trip.

We were almost halfway there when the leftrear tire blew out. I maintained

control of the car and pulled off of

I-70 onto the shoulder of the road. Quite

shook-up

took a deep breath and got out of the car. I went into the

trunk for the spare tire.

As I was removing the jack, an 18-wheeler went flying past us at top speed. I was

positioning the jack when I heard the

screeching of air brakes across the road. I

looked up to see a trucker running across four

lanes of interstate to our aid. The

trucker explained that the driver of the previous 18-wheeler radioed ahead informing

him that we were in trouble. He introduced himself, asked where we were going and

took the jack from my hands. Within 20 minutes, the tire was changed and the jack

was placed back in the trunk.

2

I was instructed by the driver to stop at the first auto

plaza for a new tire.

He explained that the spare “donut” could not make that

round-trip. As we said

our good-byes, I reached into my pocket and offered him a $20 bill for his help.

He smiled and said in his Midwestern accent, “I have a daughter just about the same

age as you—the only thanks I need is to hope that if she ever breaks down on the

road, someone honest would stop to help her as I’ve done with you.” I heard my

own father’s Brooklyn dialect repeating almost the same

sentiment. I told the driver

about my father and his experience in New Jersey. The truck driver smiled, and as

he crossed the interstate, he turned and said, “Your daddy’s a good man . . . he

knows the code of the road.”

I stopped at the next auto plaza to replace the tire. Using my calling card,

I then dialed my parents’ number, knowing everyone would be at work. I left a message

for my father telling him about the truck driver who helped me and thanking Dad for

knowing the code of the road.

Special thanks from a trucker’s little girl to all of the drivers who know and

understand the code of the road . . . especially the two gentlemen in Kansas who

helped me!

拓展练习读后续写

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

High school graduation marks a huge turning point in a young person’s life.

It’s a transition from childhood to adulthood, and you’ll remember that moment

forever.

Daverius Peters, a senior at Hahnville High School in Boutte, Louisiana, had

been looking forward to this special day for a while. However, when he arrived at

the graduation ceremony, a school representative blocked him from entering the

ceremony’s venue because his black sneakers violated the dress code.

The school’s graduation dress code states that male students must wear dark

dress shoes to the ceremony and no athletic shoes were allowed.

When the school representative denied him entry, Peters went into shock. He also

felt sad, imagining what his parents would think if he couldn’t attend his own

graduation. He just wanted to walk across the stage and get the diploma he’d worked

so hard for.

With only minutes until the ceremony was set to begin, he felt hopeless. He

neither took the phone with him nor had enough time to stop at a store to buy new

shoes. As he paced anxiously outside the convention center, he spotted a glimmer

of hope. He’d noticed a familiar face, John Butler.

Butler helps mentor (指导) students at the high school, and many students look

up to him. Butler always did what he could to help the students. He’s just “that

type of person.” When a student’s having a bad day, Butler calls them out of class

to personally talk with them. He had a daughter graduating with Peters, so he was

attending the graduation ceremony as a parent that day. Peters ran over to Butler

5

and explained his shoe problem.

注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Without a second thought, Butler took off his own shoes.

When Peters slid across the stage, his family noticed his new, ill-fitting shoes.

拓展练习读后续写参考范文

Without a second thought, Butler took off his own shoes. Then he said to Daverius

Peters, “If we exchange shoes, you can participate normally. Hurry up.” Peters

said “But my shoes are much smaller than yours. What do you do?” “Don’t worry,

I have my own way.” Although Peters hesitated, he chose to exchange shoes for this

7

adult ceremony. At this time, he finally felt a little secure in his heart and could

no longer worry about being unable to attend the ceremony

When Peters slid across the stage, his family noticed his new, ill-fitting shoes.

Then his family suddenly realized that they forgot to remind the child to change

shoes before going out today, but a question came to their minds, “so whose shoes

are these now?” The ceremony was carried out in joy and ended in reluctance. When

Peters came to his family and was asked about the origin of the shoes, Peters told

the whole story. Finally, the family couldn’t help but thank the teacher for sending

warmth in time when a child needed help most.
