 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。

A couple,whom we shall call John and Mary, had a nice home and two lovely children. One day, John and Mary decided to go on a trip to another city, so they found a kind woman to look after the children and left.

Several days later, they returned home a little earlier than they had planned. As they drove back to their hometown, John and Mary noticed smoke and went to see what it was. They found a house was on fire. "Oh, well, it isn't our house. Let's go home," Mary said.

But John drove closer and screamed in surprise,"That's Jordan's home. He works in a factory. He wouldn't be off work yet. Maybe there is something we can do to help."

"It has nothing to do with us," cried Mary. "You have your good clothes on, so let's not get any closer."

John didn't listen to Mary. He drove up and stopped. They were both shocked to see the whole house was on fire. A woman was crying in the yard, "The children! Get the children!"

John seized her by the shoulder and shouted to her, "Don't cry! Tell me where the children are!" "In the basement(地下室),"cried the woman, "down the hall and to the left."

John used water to get his clothes wet and put a wet towel on his head before rushing to the basement. The house was full of smoke and fire, and it was very difficult for him to find the children. But he made it. He held one under each arm. As he left,he could hear some more crying. He took the two kids out of the house and into the fresh air,and then asked the women how many more children were still down there.

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。

    Once, when I was a teenager my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.

    This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean, the children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.

    The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as they could be. The mother was holding her husband s hand, looking up at him as if to say, "You are my knight in shining armor." He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say "You got that right". The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded "please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.

    The ticket lady gave the price. The man's wife let go of his hand, lowered her head and her lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, "How much did you say?" The ticket lady again told him the price. The man obviously didn't have enough money.

    How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus? Actually we were not wealthy in any sense, so I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.

Lungs nearly burst. I struggled to lift my head out of the water. Inch by inch, my tired body reached the end of the pool.

The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational, while the competitive swimmers nearby thought nothing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself to finish what I had started, I could only think: why not take the easy way out?

Earlier that week, I had turned in my first job application at a local pool. Overqualified, I was hired on the spot. However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide (滑梯). I was capable of more.

So a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool. Midway through, the manager administering the test remarked, "This looks really easy for you. Why aren't you applying to become a guard?"

"The thought didn't cross my mind."

"Well, lifeguarding demands more responsibility, strength and respect. Thus the position pays $ 2 more per hour. Your swimming skills are strong enough. All you need to do is complete a certification class."

Inside I was unsure of myself, but his words inspired me — You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.

Soon I passed the swim test. All left was to practice and learn first aid, CPR (心肺复苏), and procedures for different land-based and water-based emergencies.

Work started soon. A well-intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed. Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.

Today appeared to be another uneventful day. However, shortly after the other guards signaled to the children to exit the pool, I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the others had climbed up.

 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。

The school I went to had a tradition carried out every year during the eighth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket (the school colors)was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for eight years.

I was fourteen and in the eighth grade. I had been a straight-A student since the first grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My family was so poor that, when I was six, I was given to my grandparents to raise. I couldn't participate in sports at school because we couldn't afford the fees; even though I was quite athletic, there would never be a school sports jacket for me. So, this one, the scholarship jacket, was my only chance.

One day in May, close to graduation, outside the history teacher's classroom, I heard a fierce argument between the principal and my history teacher, Mr. Frank, about giving the scholarship jacket to Joann, whose father is on the Board and owns the only store in town. Frank angrily claimed that he would never lie or falsify(伪造) records.

The principal approached me tentatively: "Martha, there's been a change in policy this year. The Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the scholarship jacket this year. So if you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars for the jacket it will be given to the next one in line. Staring at him in shock, I didn't need to ask who that was.

"I'll speak to my grandfather and let you know tomorrow, I gathered all the dignity. I cried on the walk home from the bus stop. I wanted that jacket so much. It represented eight years of hard work and expectation.

Adventures Through the Gorge (峡谷)

We put the raft(木筏) in the calm, cold water. I looked down. The water was like a mirror. It was a foggy morning, so I could barely make out what was down the river. When we took our places in the raft, I was in the back with my dad right across from me. Our tour guide was telling us the basics of rafting, and it seemed she was showing off to us! I was terrified. Since I was in the back, I was sure I would be the one to fall out. But I have always been an optimist, so I thought it would turn out okay.

Then I looked up and saw a big, gray cloud. I looked down at the river, and it started to get louder and closer to us; soon rain poured down. Once we moved out of the rain, the clouds disappeared, and the sun was shining down on us for the rest of the day. As I looked around, I saw the huge, green trees standing over me. It was beautiful.

As we moved farther down the river, I heard the water flowing gently. When we moved deeper into the gorge, it got louder and louder. This was our first rapids(急流). It seemed that we were approaching the rapids slowly, but we were at the top of the rapids in a flash. It felt like time frozen. I was so excited and nervous; I thought I was going to die. It was an extraordinary ride down. Getting splashed(溅) with water, we raced up and down the rocks. There was not a piece of dry skin on us by the time we hit the bottom.

After we got through the rapids, I was so excited! Going down made me feel I could do anything. Our tour guide told us we were going to approach Category V rapids. It was more intense than the Category I rapids, and I got a little more nervous. It took us a little while to get to the rapids because we had to go down a long river. We were allowed to jump off the raft and swim down the river until we had to get back in.

It was an ordinary weekend. The supermarket was crowded with shopping their weekly groceries. I was no exception, purchasing fresh produce and a few comfort food items, and then I reached the checkout line. As the cashier scanned my items and I reached for my wallet, my heart sank. It was missing. No cash, no cards, just an empty pocket and a growing sense of panic. 

"I'm so sorry, "I stammered(结结巴巴地说), my face burning red as I began to gather my groceries, ready to make my embarrassed retreat. 

But a calm voice from behind interrupted my retreat. " No worries at all, "a stranger said in a comforting tone. "I' ll cover this. "

I turned to see a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile, holding out her card to the cashier. She had  a cart full of her own groceries, yet here she was, offering to pay for a stranger's mistake. 

" Are you sure?"I asked, my voice filled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief. 

" Absolutely, " she replied. " But I' ll need something from you in return. "

" Anything, "I said, ready to do whatever it took to repay her kindness. 

" Promise me you' ll pay it forward, " she said, her gaze (目光) meeting mine with a sincerity that touched my heart. 

I nodded, my promise as firm as the resolve to make a difference. "I promise. "

As I left the store with my groceries, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had just been given a gift—a chance to make a difference in someone else's life. 

Months later, I found myself driving through a quiet countryside, the scenery passing by peacefully. Up ahead, I noticed a lo ne figure by the roadside, a backpacker with her thumb out, trying to ask for a ride. Car after car sped past, leaving her in their dust. Something about her lo ne figure touched my heart.
