阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The McDonnells lived in a small brick house in Larchmont, a suburb of New York City. Jim was foreman of mail carriers at the post office where he had worked for 25 years. Married in 1960, he and Anne were childless.
On the evening of the eleventh anniversary of their marriage, carrying out the garbage, Jim McDonnell slipped on icy steps, and struck his head. A few days later, driving to work, he lost control of the car, hit a
telephone pole, and banged his forehead against the windshield. The following day he fell off the stairs, and again he banged his head. Found unconscious, he was hospitalized for three days with a cerebral concussion (脑震荡). One day in the same month, Jim borrowed a friend’s station wagon and drove to Kennedy Airport to pick up Anne’s brother and family. When he returned the borrowed car at 10 p.m., he was unaware that the wallet containing his identification had slipped out of his pocket onto the floor of the car. After that, he was never seen again.
So what really happened to Anne’s husband? During his walk home, Jim had indeed blacked out (昏厥), losing all ability to remember who he was and where he lived. What happened then is unclear. The next thing he knew was that he was in downtown Philadelphia, a city he had never visited before. Seeing signs advertising the services of a James Peters, a real estate broker, Jim adopted James Peters as his own name. He had no past; his only reality was the present. James Peters got a Social Security card, which could be obtained at that time without showing a birth certificate, and took a job in a health club. He next worked at a cancer research institute, cleaning out animal cages. He also got a night-shift job at the P&P luncheonette, where he became well known for his omelets (煎蛋卷), as well as his kindness and good humor. 注意：
1．所续写的短文的词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1：
About a month before Christmas 1985, colleagues noticed that Jim had grown unusually quiet and depressed.

Li Hua 短文改错
1.删除was 考查语态。此处China与celebrate之间是主动关系,故应用主动语态。 2.we→us 考查代词。to为介词,后跟人称代词宾格形式作宾语,故将we改为us。 3.a→the 考查冠词。National Day为专有名词,其前要用定冠词,故将a改为the。 4.In→On 考查介词。表示\"在具体的某一天\前面要用介词on。故将In改为On。
5.holding→held 考查非谓语动词。本句中hold与逻辑主语celebrations构成动宾关系,故用过去分词。故将holding改为held。
6.what→which 考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为the golden week,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,故用关系代词which。故将what改为which。
7.improve→improvement 考查名词。冠词the后、介词of前应用名词。 故将improve改为improvement。 8.Beside→Besides 考查副词。结合语境可知,表示\"此外,而且\"应用副词besides,beside为介词,表示\"在……旁边\故将Beside改为Besides。
9.chance后加to 考查固定搭配。固定搭配a good chance to do sth.意为\"做某事的好机会\故在chance后加to。
10.mean→means 考查时态和主谓一致。此处叙述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时;本句主语为the National Day,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故将mean改为means。

About a month before Christmas 1985, colleagues noticed that Jim had grown unusually quiet and
depressed. Something seemed to be turning in his mind. On December 22, Jim had fallen and banged his head. The next day at work he seemed distracted, and late that afternoon he had fallen again, striking his head. On December 24, he awoke feeling confused, yet delighted. After almost 15 years, he knew who he was! He was James A. McDonnell, Jr., of Larchmont, New York. His wife’s name was Anne. Anne had just returned home from Christmas Mass, where she lit candles and prayed for Jim. A light snow was falling, and she was in a hurry to leave for Christmas dinner at her sister’s before the roads grew slick. Then the doorbell rang. \"Oh my,\" she thought, \"this is not a good time for a visitor.\" Anne opened the door — and saw a man with a full white beard. Immediately she recognized Jim. She couldn’t speak.
To Jim, Anne looked a little older, but prettier too. His heart overflowed. “Hello, Anne,” he said.
