第二节(满分25分)

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写,使之构成一篇完整的短文。.

My mother believed in using things up. Last year, our cornfield had a bad harvest because birds feasted on the crops. It was probably then that Mom's frugality(节俭) became even more extraordinary. She began keeping everything that seemed useless in the attic( 阁楼)-worn-out clothes, old sheets, broken umbrellas, and some other old items. Mom's favorite saying was “waste not, want not”. My brother Josh and I weren't sure what that meant until the “Affair of the Scarecrow(稻草人)”，which, as it later became known, left a lasting impression on us.

The story began with a pretty hat that Mom received as a gift to protect her from the sun. However, Josh and I could see that Mom's frugal nature and fashion sense were in battle. Mom really didn't want to get rid of the hat- it was new and had a lot of use left in it- - but neither could she stand wearing it. She tried to take off the fancy decorations, but they were stuck on tight. She'd have to find some other solution.

Josh and I watched as Mom headed upstairs to the attic with the hat. “Waste not, want not,” she called back down. We heard boxes being moved around. Moments later, Mom leaned out, holding a flour bag full of straw, and with a mysterious smile, she placed the hat on it.

“What is that for?” I asked, confused. “A scarecrow!” Mom exclaimed. “But not a good one yet. It needs a strong body to stand firm in the field," she said with a frown. “And it doesn't look scary enough," Josh remarked. I had to admit that Josh, though younger than I was，could sometimes be more imaginative. Josh and I turned to each other, searching for a good idea. Soon enough, Josh's eyes lit up with inspiration.
