John Henderson was driving home late last night from an exhausting business trip. He had put off visiting the pany’s new headquarters in order to get home before midnight, and now he was having trouble staying awake. He turned up the radio and tried to concentrate on the news—something about a robbery, but his eyes kept on closing. His wife, Marsha, was back home in Dayton, and he missed having her pany on this long trip.get out of
It was then that he noticed the hitchhiker (搭便车者) at the side of the road. Without even thinking about what he was doing, he slowed down and stopped the car. He couldn’t help feeling sorry for the young man who looked so wet and miserable in the rain. “Get in,” he said.
John remembered having to hitchhike home from the university before he had a car. He couldn’t stand sitting at the side of the road for hours, waiting for rides. The hitchhiker got in and immediately John was sorry that he had picked him up. The young man had a strange face and very sharp eyes. His clothes were old and dirty, and his long hair needed cutting.
The hitchhiker lit a cigarette and said he was going to Woodsville but when John asked him other questions, the young man avoided giving him any personal information and changed the subject. John began to sweat and his thoughts turned nervously to his wallet and all the money he was carrying on the backseat. He desperately tried to remember what the newscaster had said earlier about a robbery. “Don’t be ridiculous!” He thought to himself. “Stop imagining things! This guy isn’t a criminal. What’s the use of panicking?”
At this moment, John felt like having a cigarette, even though he had quit smoking three months before. He asked his passenger for one but before lighting it, he had to wait for his hands to stop shaking.

Paragraph 1:“Oh, stop the car!” cried the young man all of a sudden.
Paragraph 2:The young man looked puzzled, “It is I that am to pay!”.
文本分析：
Hitchhiker选自大学英语精读第一册，讲述了John Henderson半夜开车赶回家，途中偶遇一个年轻人搭便车的故事。文中第一句是这样写的“John Henderson was driving home late last night from an exhausting business trip." 这句话常被用以强调读者"Read beyond the lines"的重要性。我们可以看到故事的主人公Henderson，也可以读到故事的发生时间是深夜late night，当时的Henderson正在开车赶回家driving home，而从from an exhausting business trip中我们也可以推断出Henderson的身份可能是个做生意的商人，透过late和exhausting可以推断出他当时是感觉疲惫的焦急的，因为半夜里还在开车赶回家。
文章第一句话虽然不长，但是交代的信息量却很大。紧跟在第一段后面的句子则继续补充信息用来丰满Henderson的人物状态。He had put off visiting the pany’s new headquarters in order to get home before midnight, and now he was having trouble staying awake. 为了能在半夜前赶回家，他推迟了参观公司新总部的事项，而此时的他因为过于疲惫连想要保持清醒都十分困难。从put off和have trouble staying awake两个细节用以补充第一句所体
现的急切和困顿。
因为困倦，所以接下来的事情也便顺理成章了。他打开收音机，听到了抢劫犯的新闻，但即使如此，他的眼皮依然不由自主的闭上去了。He turned up the radio and tried to concentrate on the news  something about a robbery  but his eyes kept on closing. 新闻上的抢劫犯也为后续故事的展开做好了铺垫，提供了另外一个人物出现的必要。而第一段的最后一句则提到了Henderson的妻子，His wife, Marsha, was back home in Dayton, and he missed having her pany on this long trip. 
第一段虽然只有短短四句话，但句句之间都保持着紧密的联系。句1交代故事发生的背景，句2补充相关细节，句3句4既发展了前两句，又为后续故事的发展埋下伏笔。
故事接下来则通过一系列的动词介绍the young man出场，包括notice, without even thinking, slow down and stop the car，get in等连串而快节奏的动词链快速推进故事发展，而 couldn't help feeling sorry for the young man也体现了Henderson的善良性格。
在将年轻人接上车后，通过对年轻人的肖像刻画道出了Henderson的后悔。The young ma
n had a strange face and very sharp eyes. His clothes were old and dirty, and his long hair needed cutting. 同时，年轻人还在车上点着了一根香烟，并且对Henderson的提问避而不答，始终保持着神秘感，The young avoided giving him any personal information and changed the subject.这时Henderson结合前面收音机的窃贼新闻，不由得不寒而栗，文中写他的情绪反应包括有began to sweat and his thought turned nervously to his wallet. He desperately tried to remember ...还有通过他的自问自答也可以看出他的纠结与矛盾，他一边想着窃贼的危险，但同时又自我安慰说这不可能。他的紧张使他需要通过抽烟来缓解，尽管他已戒烟多年，他的手不断颤抖，连烟都没法点着了。
这篇文章的精彩在于悬念的设置，关于这个搭便车的年轻人的身份究竟是不是窃贼，读者始终存疑。这个悬念最终如何？Henderson和年轻人这对矛盾如何化解？是学生续写的关键点。
续写第一段“Oh, stop the car!” cried the young man all of a sudden. 学生需要思考年轻人为什么突然喊着要停车，然后在此基础上进行内容的扩充，扩充到最后又要结合续写第二段首句The young man looked puzzled, “It is I that am to pay!” 首段的可能性有很多，但作
为考场作文的结局我们也应该可以估摸这个年轻人多半不是窃贼，这其中的误会需要留待最后澄清。年轻人喊停车辆有可能是因为Henderson的困倦或紧张而导致车辆要撞车了，也有可能是Henderson因为紧张而错过了年轻人要到的Woodsville。而第二段的首句年轻人说是我该付钱的，则需要在第一段的结尾处两人有关于钱的细节描写，这个钱是Henderson惧怕年轻人打劫而率先从口袋里掏钱，因而年轻人looked puzzled也便顺理成章了。
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
“Stop the car!” cried the hitchhiker all of a sudden. John slammed on the brakes, hands shaking even more violently. “What’s wrong?” He nervously turned to the young man. “It’s Woodsville,” the young man replied briefly and slowly reached into his pocket. “This is it!” thought John. “He is the criminal!” So panicked was John that he felt his lips trembling. He suddenly hit on a way out, stuttering, “all my money is on the backseat. Take it away and spare me, please!” (85)
Paragraph 2:
The young man looked puzzled, “It is I that am to pay.” Contrary to John’s wild imagination, he pulled out several wrinkled bills, instead of a gun or a knife, “I e to Woodsville to visit my parents.Thanks for your ride and pany!” he said. Dumbfounded, John was too embarrassed to utter a word. “How ridiculous I was!” He thought to himself. Waiting until his passenger disappeared from sight, he stepped on the gas and drove out of town. He just couldn’t wait to share the amusing story with Marsha! (86)
