Question

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。

Jack，a clerk at the local bank，was wandering alone on the street. It was a cold，silent winter night. His mind was on his wife Linda，who had been in a car accident two months ago and was now lying in a hospital bed，waiting for more money for her operation．Jack had sold everything he had，and he had tried his best to borrow money from all the people and banks he could. But the real world is cruel.

A large amount of money was still needed. To Jack，it would mean a great deal of suffering to see his wife die without any help.“I have only one option left，”Jack said to himself. Then he went to the bank，his workplace，again. For several days，he observed the bank and planned a theft．

The next day，he went to work as usual. Everything seemed normal：he joked with his workmates and helped his clients as he always did. But no one noticed that he had brought a bigger suitcase to work，instead of the small one he always carried. At 5：00 pm，the bank closed，and the clerks and the guards had all gone home. However，at that moment，Jack was in the bathroom，and the guards didn't notice him，of course. When the noises coming from the street were replaced by silence and everything turned dark，Jack came out from the bathroom. He first cut the lines of the alarms and monitors with tools from his new suitcase.

He was all too familiar with the equipment since he had been working there for 8 years and had been studying the security system for the past 30 days. Using a special key and some other tools，he then easily opened the doors of the safes. The bank's security system wasn't very good，which allowed Jack to take a lot of money. Several minutes later，Jack left the bank with a heavy bag filled with money.

Answer

After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while，the alarms began to ring. The police arrived at the bank very quickly，only to find no one there. The next day was a really special day for the town，which was filled with newspaper and TV reporters covering the strange theft．The clerks at the bank were busy discussing the case，of course，including Jack. The police could only promise to catch the thieves as soon as possible，even though no clues had been found yet.

But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank，an old man. He seemed to be the only person to blame and was removed from his position. At last，with enough money for her operation，Jack's wife was saved. However，Jack felt guilty about the manager of the bank. He could not forget what he had done to the old man. His guilt deepened as time went by. Finally，he turned himself in to the police and accepted his punishment.

【解析】

续写前文提到Jack为了给妻子动手术，利用自己的便利成功盗取了银行的钱，他带着一个装满钱的沉重袋子离开了银行。

续写线索：（1）第一段所给首句After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while，the alarms began to ring.这是故事发展的一个转折点，接下来警报会开始响起来，警察会很快赶到银行，随后报纸和电视记者，报道了这起奇怪的盗窃事件。当然，银行的职员们正忙着讨论这个案子，包括杰克。无论从何角度拓展，需注意要与续写第二段首句呼应。

（2）第二段所给首句But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank，an old man.银行被窃最不幸的人应该是银行经理，而杰克因为有了钱他妻子做了手术，他妻子得救，而杰克本意是为了救妻子，现在妻子得救，他接受了应有的惩罚。
