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 cactus （仙人掌）stood all alone in the desert, wondering why it was stuck in the middle of the desert. "I do nothing but stand here all day,” it sighed, "What use do I have? I am the ugliest plant in the desert. My spines （刺）are thick, my leaves arc tough, and my skin is uneven . I can't offer shade or juice to the passing travelers. I don't see that I am of any use at all. ” All it did was stand in the sun day after day, growing taller and fatter. Its spines grew longer and its leaves grew tougher. It truly was strange-looking.
“I wish I could do something useful.” it signed. By day, hawks （鹰）circled high over- head, and the cactus called, "What can I do with my life?" Whether they heard or not, the hawks flew away. At night the moon floated into the sky and cast its pale light on the desert floor. "How can I do with my life?” the cactus called. The moon only stared coldly as it continued its course.
A lizard （蜥蜴）passed by, leaving a little trail in the sand with its tail. “What worthy deed can I do?" The cactus called. "You?" the lizard smiled, pausing a moment. "You can do something. Just wait for the right moment. The hawks circle way overhead, making beautiful patterns for us all to admire. The moon hangs high like a lantern at night, so we can see our ways home to our loved ones. Even I, the lowly lizard, have something to do. I decorate the sands with these beautiful trails as I pull my tail along. And you, you will show us your beauty some day.”

The world is full of great books, just waiting to be read. How can you pick one you'll really like? Here are some tips：
Depend on your hobby. If you have a favorite hobby, look for books about that activity. 1. You're more likely to enjoy reading a book if you're already interested in its subject.
Choose fiction or nonfiction. 2. Those are called fiction books. These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books tell stories using facts, but that doesn't mean they're boring. Nonfiction books can bring to life everything from the first trip to the moon to what it's like to explore the deepest oceans.
3. Your local library is a great place to find books that you love. Tell a librarian about your interests, and the librarian can help you find other books that you're sure to love. Your teacher is another good person to ask.
Find a family favorite. What was your mother’s favorite book when she was your age? What's about your father's? Ask them and give it a read. Then you can talk about what they like about it and share your thoughts. 4.
Launch a book exchange. 5. It's always fun to see what your friends arc reading. Even if they're not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like. You also can look for book exchanges in your area. It's a great way to build your personal library for free!
A. Ask someone for help.
B. Learn to be a professional.
C. You should read as many books as possible.
D. Some books are entirely made up and imagined.
E. You can find books about almost anything you like.
F. It’s a fun way to get to know your family a little better.
G. Why not get some friends together and exchange favorite books?
