第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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，
My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn’t understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn’t really understand his world either: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass(超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone(长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb’s-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn’t sure how much it would amount to.
At home, my dad said, "A job’s a big step to growing up. I’m glad you will be contributing to the household." My dad’s words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn’t interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.

范文：
When I brought my backpack home, it was $119—my dad wanted to talk to me. "Son, I know you're upset about contributing your earnings," he began, his voice calm and steady. "But it's about more than just money. It's about learning the value of hard work and responsibility." I listened, reminded of the cockleburs and foxtails I had toiled to remove from the farmer's field. "Your grandfather did the same for our family, and now you're doing the same for yours," he continued. His words struck a chord, and I began to see the situation from a different perspective.
I was surprised my dad allowed me to use the money as I wished. "You've earned it, and you've learned an important lesson," he said, handing me the cash. I decided to put half towards a new football and the other half into a savings account, a symbol of my newfound understanding of the value of work and family. As I looked at my dad, I realized that his eighth-grade education had taught him lessons that went far beyond the classroom.

当我背着自己的背包回家时，里面装着119美元——爸爸想和我谈谈。“儿子，我知道你对于贡献你的收入感到不快，”他开始说，声音平静而坚定。“但这不仅仅是钱的问题。这是关于学习辛勤工作和责任的价值。”我听着，想起了我在农民田里辛苦拔除的 苍耳 和 狗尾草。“你的祖父为我们的家庭做了同样的事情，现在你也在为你的家庭做同样的事情，”他继续说。他的话触动了我，我开始从不同的角度看待这个情况。
我惊讶于爸爸让我随意使用这笔钱。“你赚到了它，你也学到了一个重要的课程，”他说，把钱递给我。我决定把一半钱用来买一个新的足球，另一半存入储蓄账户，这是我新发现的对于工作和家庭价值理解的一个象征。当我看着爸爸时，我意识到他的 八年级教育 教给他的课程远远超出了课堂。
