关于水中或雨中脱困脱险的读后续写练习写作Passage 1风雨中助人I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny daya blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea. But then, as I looked in the distance, I discovered three or four big waves heading towards the shore. I'd seen these minitsunamis(海啸) many times before. They were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. Most people knew how to look out for them, but from the screams that started ing from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble. Without thinking, I ran down into the street, holding my body board(俯伏冲浪板) on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard. My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his body board, so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea .Once we got closer, we discovered the waves had pulled a boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea. I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I wasn't used to this sort of emergencyI’d never been trained as a lifeguardbut I didn't think twice about trying to save them.I supposed in a way I wanted to impress everyone: at 19, a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off. Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them. When we finally reached them, they were almost lifeless with only their heads ing in and out of the water. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer. I held the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl onto his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out.注意：1.所续写的短文词数应为150左右；2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好；Paragraph1:We had to wait.Paragraph2:That night, word came from the hospital that the two people were in good condition.We had to wait. We eagerly hoping for the arrival of the saving boat. The wild wind blew and the freezing sea water clapped our bodies continuously. 30 minutes seemed much longer as we just helplessly floated on the boundless sea. After a long time, a light spot appeared in the distance! We waved our hands and yelled out for help. The boat finally reached us and took all of us back to the shore. The two children were immediately sent to the nearest hospital.That night, word came from the hospital that the two people were in good condition. Picturing what the merry scene would be, relief lay in my heart and happiness etched on my face. The next morning, all the people I met smiled to me and could not stop praising me. It seemed like a good opportunity to show myself off, but I didn’t mean to. In fact, I was ashamed I had thought about it. It occurred to me that helping others was priceless and everyone should be a lifeguard.Passage 2 被困瀑布下阅读下面材料，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。

（4）A Question of JudgementHuman beings are, in principle, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance, this might seem like a strength that grants people the ability to make judgments which are independent of external factors. But in a world of limited resources--in other words, the world in which most professional people operate — Dr. Simonsohn reported in Psychological Science that it was actually a weakness since an inability to consider the big picture was leading decision-makers to be biased (有偏见)by the daily samples they were working with.To test this idea, Dr. Simonsohn and his assistants turned their attention to the university-admissions process. Admissions officers interview hundreds of applicants every year, at a rate of 4% a day, and can offer entry to about 40% of them. In theory, the success of an applicant should not depend on the few others chosen randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr. Simonsohn suspected the truth was otherwise.He studied the results of 9,323 MBA interviews conducted by 31 admissions officers. The interviewers had rated applicants on a scale of one to five. This scale took numerous factors, including communication skills, personal drive, team-working ability and personal accomplishments, into consideration. The scores from this rating were then used in conjunction with an applicant's score on the GMAT, a standardized exam which is marked out of 800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her.Dr.Simonsohn found if the score of the previous candidate in a daily series of interviewees was 0.75 points or more higher than that of the one before that, then the score for the next applicant would drop by an average of 0.075 points. This might sound small, but to reverse the effects of such a decrease, a candidate would need 30 more GMA T points than would otherwisehave been necessary.As for why people behave this way, Dr.Simonsohn proposes that after accepting a number of strong candidates, interviewers might form the illogical expectation that a weaker candidate "is due".参考答案：4.Making decisions without considering the big picture will cause biased opinions, which can be proved by MBA interviews. The success depends on the candidate's competitors because his score will fall if the previous candidates keep being graded with higher points. The reason is that the interviewer expects the arrival of a 'weaker' candidate after meeting with several strong ones.

Although many factors can make a job depressing 一unusual hours, low pay, no chance for advancement — these three jobs stand out for another reason: a lack of small talk.Psychologists have long said that connecting with others is central to our well-being, but just how much conversation we require is under investigation. In one study, researchers overheard undergraduates for four days and then catalogued each conversation as either "small talk" （"What do you have there? Pop corn? Yummy!"）or “serious" （"Did they break up soon after?"）. They found that the second type is connected with happiness the happiest students had roughly twice asmany "serious" talks as the unhappiest ones. Small talk, meanwhile, made up only ten percent of their conversation, versus almost 30 percent of conversation among the unhappiest students.However, don't just consider small talk worthless yet. Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Chatting with strangers could brighten our morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists found that those who chatted with other train passengers reported a more pleasant journey than those who didn't.Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas（咖啡帀）reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction（交易）.Similarly, when volunteers broke the silence of the art gallery to chat with gallery-goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.Of course, some of us are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger. In one study, people who were rated "less curious" by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own. People who were considered "curious", meanwhile, needed no help transforming conversations about ordinary things like favorite holidays into friendly exchanges. A “curious mindset “, the researchers concluded, can lead to 44positive social interaction.参考答案：5.Jobs lacking a small talk will become joyless. Psychologists find happy students like serious talk more than small talk, but small talk has its value in promoting relationship and bringing a good mood. It also helps one connected with the environment, increasing sense of belonging. Curiouspeople are better at initiating a friendly conversation. (54 words)（6）How much do you know about venom?All snakes arc hunters and predators, feeding on the animals and sometimes their eggs. Having no limbs, snakes cannot hold their preys down to bite；hence they usually swallow them whole. Poisonous snakes sometimes do immobilize their preys with their venom（毒液）to make consumption easier.Most poisonous snakes are conspicuously colored to warn others off. One example is the redheaded krait which has a bluish-black body and scarlet head and tail. Snakes like the cobras, which have less outstanding body colors, display their fatality by lifting the front part of their body and spreading their hoods.Why then is the venom so deadly? Each species of venomous snakes has a different mix of poisonous chemicals in its bite. Scientists know about two basic categories. One type of poison contains molecules that block the activity of nerves, which paralyzes the muscles. When this action stops the muscles that work the lungs, the prey stops breathing and dies. The other type of venom is made up of molecules that kill the prey by making tissues in the body begin to break down.Though these bites arc deadly, certain actions can be taken to slow down the spread of the venom, hence saving the victim's life. Attempting to incise and suck at the spot of the bite is more likely to be harmful than a cure. The poisonous venom usually travels fast into the body uponbeing released; hence sucking at the mouth of the wound will not help remove the poison；rather, it may lead the victim to great pain and further increase bleeding. Instead, a broad, firm bandage should be applied over the wound and up the full limb to compress the tissues and prevent the spread of the venom. After which, the victim must be duly sent to the hospital for professional treatment.参考答案：6.Venom helps snakes make swallowing preys easier. Poisonous snakes will use color or change their body position to send off warnings. Venom is deadly because the molecules it contains either stop nerves from functioning properly or make preys5 tissues collapse. To slow down its spread, remember to apply bandage and send victims to the hospital immediately. (56 words)。

The boy headed back down to the old man's house with the figurine. Afraid as he felt, he still knocked on the door, waiting breathlessly. Finally, it opened and out came the old man. Seeing the boy holding a well-wrapped dog figurine, he looked very astonished but still glared at him without a word. Determined to break the ice, the boy gave the old man the gift with a card attached, expressing his care. The old man was so moved by all the boy did that words failed to convey his emotions. “Thank you so much!” he said to the boy gently and kindly. (91words)

Flora and her dad were going to move to a new house. Friday, a truck would come for the furniture. Then the next week, workers would dig up the yard. Where Flora and Papi had grown flowers, the workers would put in a parking lot.“Our poor flowers,” Flora sighed to herself, looking at the bright purple blooms and soft and green weed coming out of the soil. She sat o utside, selling things she didn’t want to take to the new house. Beside her hung a sign that said “Yard Sale”. Her yard sale was the first one of the year on Apple Street, and several of her neighbors had come over to have a look.Papi came out. He held a dish piled high with nuts. “Here’s a snack for everyone,” he said. Flora’s dad loved sharing things. Most of all he loved sharing jokes. He smiled when he saw Flora’s sign and winked (眨眼) at the customers gathered around.“Yard sale? What are you selling y ards of? Or meters of?” he asked. “Ribbons? Carpet? Cloth? Where’s your ruler?”“Not that kind of yard,” joked Mrs. Ciro. “It must be this nice grassy yard we’re standing on that’s for sale.”“How much for the weed by your sign?” asked Mr. Johnson, joking.Flora gave no response. She didn’t think their jokes were funny. She felt extremely in low spirits at the thought that the lovely yard was already sold, and soon their poor flowers and weed would be ruined. “Deader than a doorknob,’ Papi’s papi would sa y”, she thought to herself bitterly, “What’s worse, the new house doesn’t have any flowers at all.”With a sigh, Flora dug her heels deep into the grass. But when she felt the soft earth move under her heels, she knew what she could do.She whispered her clever plan to Papi. He nodded, smiling, and sat down in her seat instead.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
