Question

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

A dawning sun shaped the massive form of the train. Loaded with fuel, water, and sand for power, the lead train weighed in at 410,000 pounds. Conductor Robert, 49, ran his eye along the 96 cars behind him.

It was 7 a.m. Robert had already checked the list of dangerous materials aboard the train. ''We've got some gas with us,'' he'd reported to his engineer, Lindley, in the cab (驾驶室). The presence of gas would mean taking extra care when braking the 6,200-ton train. With explosive gas on board, an accident would be more dangerous. After a final external inspection, Robert jumped aboard. Slowly the train pulled out of the station.

Robert and Lindley had 50 years of railroading experience between them. They approached Lafayette at about 1:45 p. m. and slowed the train to the speed limit. Lindley turned on his flashing lights and warning bell. The two had been through the city hundreds of times, but they grew extra cautious rounding the first curve (弯道). Ahead, over just three miles of track, lay no fewer than 24 street crossings. As the train came out of the curve, Lindley noticed a small dot on the right rail about 150 yards ahead. He thought it might be a dog. Now, as the train approached within 100 yards of the object on the rail, Robert looked attentively. Then shock coursed through him.

''My God!'' he yelled as a tiny face turned toward him. ''It's a baby!''

Lindley had an instant decision to make, applying full emergency brakes with half the train still wrapped around a curve. He had to risk an emergency stop. Robert opened the left door of the engine cab quickly and stepped out onto a narrow walkway. He hurried to the front of the engine and crossed to the right side. He then stepped down to the lower portion of the walkway just to the back of the train's ''cow catcher''.

Paragraph 2:

Answer

Paragraph 1: Stretching as far as he could, Robert put his right leg out in front of him. Swinging his leg out, he swept her aside with his foot. Robert swiftly leapt from the moving train and ran back to the child. She lay crying by the tracks, blood streaming from a wound beneath her hair. A great relief sweeping over Robert, Robert lifted her from the dirt. It was only then that Robert noticed the train had stopped and there were flashing red lights of emergency vehicles alongside the tracks. With the baby in his arms, Robert began to walk and was met by the police.

Paragraph 2: Telling himself he still had a job to do, Robert went back to check on the cars. As Robert aboard rested in the train, his pent-up emotions rushed to the surface. It had all unfolded so fast, and the reality of what he had done was only now hitting him. Within minutes, Lindley was standing beside Robert, taking the controls again. They looked at each other, their expressions of relief and gratitude more persuasive than words. Robert’s overalls were still spotted with blood. The train pulled slowly out of Lafayette.

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写。本篇讲述了一个故事。Robert和Lindley是经验丰富且配合默契的火车驾驶员。一次他们驾驶的火车在全速前进时，Lindley注意到远处的轨道上有个黑点，他意为是一条狗，后来证实这个黑点是一个婴儿。他们要在保证火车安全的情况下，减速救下这个婴儿。

根据第一段的开头可知，Robert尽可能把自己的腿伸长，然后右腿放在前面。故可以接着写：Robert成功救出小孩，可能自己受了皮外伤，然后把孩子交给警察、孩子的家人或铁路管理人员等，情节合理就可以接受。

根据第二段的开头可知，Robert虽然内心紧张，但他告诉自己还有工作要做。故可以接着写：Robert上车平静后，可以描写他的身体感觉，内心活动，或者描述在场人员对他的赞扬，两人的对话、动作或眼神交流等，体现出他们工作之间的默契。在紧急停车之后，他们继续前行。
