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。
Bill was a 15-year-old young man. One weekend he went to the forest with his friends Russell and Jim to catch and collect rare butterflies.
Russell was the only one who had been to these woods. They had been there for 20 minutes and were deep into the forest. Russell and Jim stuck together, while Bill drifted to their left. He tried to stay within eyesight of them, but he was also watching for snakes.
As he went forward, suddenly a beautiful bird with a long tail flew by and caught his eyes. He followed behind to take some photos. But when he was done and glanced over for his friends, they were gone.
He shouted, but the thick woods only swallowed his cries. The last time he saw them, it looked like they were continuing in a straight line. So he turned to go back, but an hour later he was even more lost. He kept walking, though, figuring he would find a way out.
He walked, stopping to rest now and then, until it started to get dark. The woods became a horrible place where there were various sounds. The sounds reminded Bill of the horrible stories he had read. He felt scared but he didn't cry because he kept telling himself he was a brave man. Fortunately it did not got cold, which was good because he had nothing to warm himself up. Suddenly he heard the engine sound of a helicopter. But rescuers couldn't see him through the trees, and he wasn't going to run through the woods in the dark. He just prayed they would find him the next day. So tired was he that he lay down under a tree and fell asleep.

Learning Is a Learned Behavior
Many people mistakenly believe that learning is an unchangeable trait like eye color, simply luck of the genetic draw. ''People are born learners, or they're not." 1. Here are three practical ways to build your learning skills, based on research.
Organize your goals
Effective learning often boils down to a type of project management. In order to develop an area of expertise, we first have to set achievable goals about what we want to learn. Then we have to develop strategies to help us reach those goals. A targeted approach to learning helps us cope with all the self-carping （自我挑剔）feelings associated with gaining skills: Am I good enough? Will I fail? What if I'm wrong? 2. While some self-carping is normal, these sorts of negative emotions can quickly rob us of our ability to learn something new.
Think about thinking
Metacognition （元认知）is crucial to the talent of learning. Psychologists define metacognition as "thinking about thinking", and broadly speaking, metacognition is about being more inspective about how you know what you know. It's a matter of asking ourselves questions like: Do I really get this idea? Could I explain it to a friend? Or do I need more practice? When it comes to learning, one of the biggest issues is not that something goes in one ear and out the other. 3.
Reflect on your learning
There is something of a contradiction in learning. Get into a discussion with a classmate, for instance, and often your best arguments arrive while you're washing the dishes later. In short, learning benefits from reflection. 4. Sleep is a fascinating example of this idea. It's possible that we tidy up our knowledge while we're napping or sleeping deeply. One recent study shows a good evening of shut-eye can reduce practice time by 50%.
Being a quick study doesn't mean you're the smartest person in the room. 5., thinking about your thinking, and reflecting on your learning at proper times, you can become a better study, too.
A.Is there any truth in these rumors?
B.By becoming the first to sail round the world
C.By deliberately organizing your learning goals
D.Isn't there something else that I'd rather be doing?
E.This type of reflection requires a moment of calm.
F.A growing body of research is making it clear that learners are made, not born.
G.The issue is that individuals don't push themselves to really think about their thinking.
