Night was falling when the Monk told the Brother to go on ahead to find accommodation. The Brother searched the deserted landscape until he found a shabby cottage in the middle of nowhere. A poor family lived in the cottage. The mother, father and children were dressed in rags. The Brother asked if he and the Monk could spend the night with them. “You are most welcome to spend the night，” said the father of the family. They prepared a simple meal consisting of fresh milk, cheese and cream for the Brother and the Monk. The Brother felt moved by their poverty and even more by their simple generosity.When they finished eating, the Monk asked them how they managed to survive in such a poor place, so far_away from the nearest neighbors and town. The wife looked to her husband to answer. In a resigned tone of voice he told them how they managed to survive. “We have one cow. We sell her milk to our neighbors who do not live too far away. We hold back enough for our needs and to make some cheese and cream that is what we eat.”The next morning, the Brother and the Monk said their good­byes and set out to continue their journey. After they had walked a few miles, the Monk turned to the Brother and said, “Go back and push the cow off the_cliff (懸崖)！” “Father，” the Brother replied, “they live_off the cow. Without her, they will have nothing.” The Monk repeated his order “go back and kill the cow.”With a heavy heart, the Brother returned to the small cottage. He worried about the future of the_family because he knew they depended_on the cow to survive. His promise of obedience bounded him to follow the orders of the wise Monk. He pushed the cow off the cliff.注意：1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；2至少使用5個短文中標有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語；3續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已為你寫好；4續(xù)寫完成后，請用下劃線標出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語。Paragraph 1：One day, the Brother, who had become a Monk, found himself on the same road where he found accommodation years ago.
