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。
When I was a teenager, I got lost in a foreign country. I was in Berlin, Germany, only month-long trip in Europe. My team and I had one night there to spend however we pleased. Most of my teammates decided to stay indoors and relax. But I did not want to pass up the chance to explore Berlin.
I visited lots of major attractions around the city that night. When the exhaustion began to set in, I checked the time on my watch. I was surprised to see that it was two o’clock in the morning.
As I walked to a subway station, I realized that it was my dad’s birthday. This would be the first birthday I couldn’t celebrate with him because he died a few months earlier. Before I could begin thinking of my dad, I heard train wheels stop.
I rushed onto the train. At first, I was thankful to have made it onto the train. But that joy quickly turned to panic when I noticed that the train was heading in the wrong direction!
I looked around the nearly empty train. I saw a young woman sitting quietly by the window and approached her.
“Hi, do you speak English? I’m lost. Can you help me?” I asked.
The woman understood. She told me how to return to where I had first gotten on the train. But my anxious mind couldn’t follow her guidance.
Without thinking, I asked, “Can you come with me?”
Her face froze at my stupid request. After a long second of hesitation, she agreed to help me. At that moment, I was grateful for the kindness from a stranger.

Being sick at college is no fun at all. It means missing classes and social events and then catching up on work. Maintaining physical health as well as mental health is as likely to determine students’ happiness and success as anything else. 1.
1. Wash your hands. It is the easiest way to prevent catching colds from roommates and friends. 2.
2. Drink water. Coffee may wake you up, but water will keep you going. Replace at least a cup of coffee with one glass of water each day. Or, better yet, drink a cup of water for every cup of coffee you consume daily. You will feel better. 3.
3. Sometimes students’ schedules prevent them from having “normal” meals at “normal” times. 4.
4. Track your sleep. Staying up late and then getting up early for class the next day works for about one night. The quickest way to run down your body is to not provide sufficient nourishment through food, water and sleep.
5. 5. Every college offers academic support as well as mental health services. Thankfully, much of the shame of seeing an adviser has decreased, and students are more willing to get help sooner. Unfortunately, many students wait until they are very unhappy, and then the road to recovery is longer.
A.Examine your physical health regularly.
B.Here are a few tips on how you can stay healthy at college.
C.Just carry a water bottle in your backpack and fill it up regularly.
D.You must be careful about your health at college.
E.Check out student services.
F.It makes sense to wash before eating and to carry a small container of hand cleanser.
G.Carry some healthy snacks that will satisfy you until your next meal.
