Question

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。

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 day-a blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea. But then, as I looked in the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves heading towards the shore. I'd seen these mini- tsunamis(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 coming 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 emergency- I’d never been trained as a lifeguard-but 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 coming 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 hold the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl on to his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out.

We had to wait,

Answer

We had to wait, eagerly hoping for the arrival of the saving boat. The wildly 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 with the left energy. The boat finally reached us and took all of us back to the shore.

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, people all I met smiled to me and could not stop praising me. It seemed like a good opportunity to show 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.

【解析】

本篇书面表达是读后续写。

通过阅读所给文章可知，作者在一次海啸中，意外发现了有人遇到危险，于是和邻居一起前往救助。作者当时在某种程度上，是想给每个人留下深刻印象:19岁时，这似乎是一个很好的炫耀机会。

续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我们必须等……，所以应该写等待的过程，要详细描述作者他们等待的心情和当时海面的变化，以及最终获救；第二段开头是：那天晚上，医院传来消息说，这两个人身体状况良好。本段应该写我对这次营救别人的心理变化和感悟。文章最后提到帮助别人是无价的，每个人都应该成为一名救生员。

续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
