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120左右。

On December 16, 2008, Randy Heiss was hiking in Patagonis, a town near the US-Mexico border when he noticed there was a red balloon. He walked towards it, and found the balloon’s string was attached to a piece of paper. “Dayami”, it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Heiss turned the paper over. It was a numbered list, all in Spanish.

Heiss suspected that a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned his letters, but he wondered whether he could find the girl who had sent this one. It would be difficult, but Heiss had a few clues. About 20 miles to the southwest, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. Based on the blowing wind, he was pretty sure that’s where it came from.

Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is fluent in Spanish and helped him translate the list. They found that Dayami had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, clothes and art supplies. Heiss then posted about his search on Facebook, attaching photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family, but with no success. Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, 2008, he sent a private message to Radio XENY, a radio station in Nogales.

The next morning, Heiss got a message from Radio XENY: They had located Dayami, an eight-year-old girl whose parents were killed in a car accident. They would arrange a get-together with Dayami at the radio station. So they bought just about everything on Dayami’s list.

Paragraph 1:

Then the Heisses drove for 45 minutes, crossing the border into Nogales.

Paragraph 2:

Ten years later, Heisses received a phone call from Dayami.

    Where do you see yourself in five years? While some of us might have answers to that, the reality is that most of us don’t. That is totally OK. We may not stress too much about the future. 1..

Stop worrying about what hasn’t happened yet

We’ve all done it. Worrying about a situation that hasn’t happened yet is only going to ruin all the good things that are happening now. 2.. If it is really eating you up, try thinking about what you can do right now to avoid any negative situations you might be worried about.

3.

Saving for a house, but your friend invites you on a last-minute group getaway? Go for it! Group holidays with all your friends don’t come around often. As you get older and people start their families, they are less likely to happen. Good memories will always be precious.

Surround yourself with people that make you feel good

In order to fully live in the present, surround yourself with people that make you feel good. 4.. If you find yourself doubting your achievements and feeling less than someone because they have a nicer car or a better job, take a step away from them for a while until you feel better.

Put yourself first and stop trying to please everyone else

5.. Looking after yourself before anyone else is the most important. Work towards the goals you want to achieve, not the ones others want you to achieve. Just make sure that anything you do is done for you!

A.Take things as they come

B.You are your own number one

C.Try hard to make more friends

D.You can always take care of others

E.Here are some tips about how to live in the now

    Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people.

The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.

But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams.

Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.

1.What can we learn about Jessica Watson?

A.She was criticized by the government.

B.She eventually canceled her voyage.

C.She has traveled around the world.

D.She made a successful voyage.

2.What can be inferred about teenagers from the text?

A.They have similar abilities.

B.They make decisions on their own.

C.They always make wrong judgments.

D.They need supports of responsible adults.

3.Who does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Parents. B.Teenagers.

C.Psychologists. D.Adults.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers

B.Problems Faced by Adventurous Teens

C.Various Ways to Become Independent

D.Pressure to Achieve Personal Goals

    The snow in Antarctica is turning green and scientists say climate change may be to blame. According to a study at the Cambridge University, microscopic algae blooms (藻类爆发) across the surface of the snow is slowly turning Antarctica’s winter white landscape green. Although microscopic, scientists say they’re able to see the “green snow” from space when the algae blooms all together.

Researchers created a large-scale map of green snow algae along the Antarctic coast using a combination of satellite data and on-the-ground observations over the course of two summers. The study found that the green snow algae bloomed in warmer areas where the average temperatures are just above 0 during the southern hemisphere’s (半球的) summer months from November to February.

“As Antarctica warms, we predict the overall mass of snow algae will increase,” said Dr Andrew Gray, lead author of the paper, and a researcher. Researchers say larger blooms of algae can be found north of the Antarctic and South Shetland Islands, where it can spread to higher ground as the snow melts.

The team also discovered some sea birds and mammals influenced the distribution of algae. Over 60% of algae blooms were found within three miles of a penguin settlement. Scientists hypothesize this may be due to their droppings, which act as a “highly nutritious fertilizer.”

“This is a significant advance in our understanding of land-based life on Antarctica, and how it might change in the coming years as the climate warms,” said Dr. Matt Davey in the University of Cambridge’s Department of Plant Sciences, who led the study.

1.What is turning the Antarctic snow green?

A.The melting of snow.

B.The blooming algae.

C.The beautiful landscape.

D.The balanced temperature.

2.Where is microscopic algae most likely to bloom in Antarctica?

A.North of the Antarctic.

B.West of the South Pole.

C.South of the Antarctic.

D.Around the southern hemisphere.

3.What does the underlined word “hypothesize” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Confirm. B.Support. C.Assume. D.Warn.

4.What can we learn from the text?

A.Penguins feed on microscopic algae.

B.Antarctic algae grow under the snow.

C.Ground observation lasted for four months.

D.Animal droppings contribute to the algae blooms.
