4 . 阅读下面材料﹐根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段﹐使之构成一篇完整的短文。

School volunteers don’t get paid money，but sometimes we receive special gifts. One morning，just before Christmas vacation，I was selling tickets to our grade school’s lastevening performance of The Nutcracker.

One of my customers that day was a parent. “I think it’s awful that I have to pay to see my own child perform,”she announced，yanking(猛扯)a wallet from her purse.

“The school asks for a voluntary donation to help pay for scenery and costumes,”I explained，“but no one has to pay. You’re welcome to all the tickets you need. ”

“Oh，I’ll pay,”she said unhappily. “Two adults and a child. ”She plunked down(猛地放下) a ten-dollar bill. I gave her the change and her tickets. She stepped aside，holding her purse. That’s when the boy waiting behind her emptied a pocketful of change onto the table.

“How many tickets?”I asked.

“I don’t need tickets,”he said. “I’m paying. ”He pushed the coins across the table. “But you’ll need tickets to see the show tonight. ”

He shook his head. “I’ve already seen the show. ”

I pushed the pile of nickels，dimes，and quarters back. “You don’t have to pay to sce theshow with your class,”l told him. “That’s free. ”

“No,”the boy insisted. “I saw it last night. My brother and I arrived late. We couldn’t find anyone to buy tickets from，so we just walked in. ”

Lots of people in that crowd had probably “just walked in”. The few volunteers present couldn’t check everyone for a ticket. Anyway，it ‘s OK. As I’d told the parent ahead of this boy ，the donation was voluntary.

He pushed his money back to me. “I’m paying now，for last night,”he said， I knew this boy and his brother must have squeezed into the back of that crowd. And being late to the hall，they couldn’t possibly have seen the whole show. I hated to take his money. A pile of coins in a kid’s hand is usually carefully saved allowance money.

注意:

So I decided to make some efforts to persuade him to give up paying.
