Linda, a high school girl, was feeling depressed after she had failed her mid-term exams. She didn't answer her teachers' questions actively in class like she used to. Instead, she began to lower her head and got absent-minded easily. Her friends and classmates were worried about her, but she didn't feel like talking about it with them. Mrs. Green, her English teacher, noticed her changes and decided to do something before it got worse.
One day, Mrs. Green entered the classroom and asked her students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. Mrs. Green handed out the question papers, with the text facing down as usual. After she handed them all out, she asked her students to turn the page and begin. To everyone's surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot in the center of the page. Mrs. Green, seeing the expression on everyone's face, told them the following: "I want you to write what you see there."
The students, confused, got started on the task.
At the end of the class, Mrs. Green collected all the answer papers and started reading them aloud in front of all the students. Just as Mrs. Green had expected, with no exception, all of them described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet, etc. Mrs. Green then picked out Linda's paper and added,
"Linda, I like your idea. Would you please follow me to the office and talk about it?"
"Er... Yes, madam!" Linda was puzzled because she thought her idea was no better than anyone else's. Like others, she also described the black dot only and ignored the white part of the paper.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2.每段的开头语已为你写好。
Feeling nervous, Linda went into Mrs. Green's office.
"Mrs. Green is right. I should focus more on the white part of the paper!" Linda got refreshed.
