33 My Son 一、请根据两个提示句进行故事续写，150词左右。 I didnt like Tommy. Love him? It seemed unlikely that I ever could. I knew our differences had to be dealt with soon or I would have to stop trying to be his stepmother. Tommys natural mother had died a year before. When Tommy9s father and I married, it seemed like an ideal arrangement. His sons would have a mother and my daughters would have a father, so here were six we could combine to establish a real family. I knew I treated the boy kindly, yet I was drowning in feelings of guilt about him. It was easier with Tommys younger brother, though I never understood why. When Tommy wasnt crying, or gulping （狂饮） milk, he was pulling on his T-shirt and stretching it. Sometimes he locked me out of my bedroom when his father was home so he could visit with him and I couldnt. Tommy would block the television screen so my daughters couldnt watch. In my eyes Tommy was rapidly developing into a thoroughly difficulty child. He was only seven. Wed been married several months and tension was building up. Each night I carefully tucked （盖好被子） him into bed and kissed him good night while he was glaring at me. I was at a loss what to do and turned to my husband, Tommys father, who had told me that Nancy had been seriously ill and when he called the boys into the house to tell them she had died, all Tommy asked was whether he could go back out to play. My husband, drowned in his own sorrow, simply interpreted this response as childhood innocence and avoided acknowledging and talking Tommy out of his grief （悲伤）.The boys did not attend the funeral and the subject was closed. The popular attitude was that life was for the living, but part of Tommy had also died. I was pretty certain the difficulty with Tommy was related to his loss. With no training in psychology, and no personal experience with death, I knew that by addressing the issue I might be opening a Pandoras box that I was ill equipped to handle. I had to take the chance as well as the courage.
