词的一个特殊用法“get+过去分词”表示被动或者状态。如“getpaid/burnt”获得报酬/被烫伤。前面的alittle修饰sunburnt，指我们有一点点晒伤了。读后续写。WeeksbeforeThanksgivingarrived,myanxietyaboutitincreased.MyhusbandandIrecentlymadeacross­countrymovewithouryoungchildJill.Ourneighborwasanoldcouple,Mr.SmithandMrs.Smith,whowerekindandfriendly.Ournewhomewasinamess.“WeshouldstartthinkingaboutplansforThanksgiving，”Isuggested.“Don'tworryaboutit，”myhusbandsaid.“Heatupsomehotdogs,maybesomecheese,andthekidwillbehappy.”Thatsoundedgreat.Iwasinarelief!Inthepastholidays,IhadneverbeenresponsibleforcookingafullThanksgivingdinner.Myjobwasalwaystobringdrinksorasidedishtoalargegathering（itemsthathadthehighestsuccessrate）andhelpcleanupafterthemeal.ButonedaymysonJillhappilyshowednewly­createdturkeycrafts.“Let'sgoonawalkandtrytofindarockthatlooksliketurkey！”Jillshoutedtome.“Takemeonawalk,Mommy！”Theexcitementwasbuilding,andIhadafeelingthathotdogswerenotgoingtobeenoughformychildonThanksgiving.“I'mgoingtotryandprepareThanksgivingfood,Leonard，”Isaidtomyhusbandlateonenight.Heeyedmecuriously.“Yousure？”Thenhesaid.“Okay,then,ifyouthinkyoucandoit.”Isaid.“I'vegottwodaystoprepare.Thegrocerystoreisopentwenty­fourhours.I'mgoingtothestore！”Unfortunately,onlyahugeturkeyremained,soIhadnochoicebuttobuyathirty­poundturkey.EarlyThanksgivingmorning,Idragged（拖拽）thebaggedturkeyhome.Whenmyfamilysawit,theygotabigsurpriseatitssize.Seeingthesurpriseontheirfaces,Irealizedtherewasnowaywecouldfinishtheturkey.It'stoobigformyfamily.“Therewasonlyoneturkeyleftinthestore.”Iexplained.“Buthowcouldwefinishtheturkey？”IaskedmyhusbandandJill.注意：续写词数应为150左右；Jillsaidwecouldinviteourneighbor,Mr.andMrs.Smith,tosharewithus.Soon,Mr.andMrs.Smithcametomyhousewithabigsmileontheirfaces.【参考范文】Jillsaidwecouldinviteourneighbor,Mr.andMrs.Smith,tosharewithus.Havingheardwhathesaid,myhusbandandIdidn'tsayanythingatonce,butexchangedglances.Thenwenoddedatthesametime,“Goodidea!”Whil
