The Saturday before Christmas,1 o'clock a.m.,I was heading for a bird-watching site a few hours north.The weather forecast called for the possibility of fog,but the drive down was clear.
As I approached the destination,the fog began to build.At a bend,I hit a road shoulder and lost control of the truck.I tried to correct,but it was too late.With a clang,the back of my truck went over a steep bank and slid down to the water.There was a series of flashes,clicks,and whirs before all lights and electronics went out.I prayed that the water wasn't deep.
At first,the scene seemed peaceful,almost beautiful.In the dim light,I could barely make out that I was in a large canal floating gently downstream and spinning slowly.I tried to open the door,but it was locked.The water had shorted the electrical system.
I remembered I had a glass breaker.It was in the centre console (儀表盤).I grabbed the tool and gave the passenger window a sharp hit,but the breaker merely bounced off.I hit it again,with the same result.I tied a two-handed swing but only managed to scratch the window.
With each failed attempt,the urgency of my situation built.Water gathered at my feet.I lay down on the seat and tried to kick out the window,but my feet just bounced off.By this point,the truck was mostly submerged (淹沒) and the water was pushing against the window.Inside,the water level was over the seat,and cold water soaked my back and neck.
If I could reach my toolbox behind the seat,surely I would find the tool to break the window.I dived for it,with objects floating around me:a plastic bottle,a foldable windshield cover,a small pillow.The inside of my truck had become a giant snow globe,and I was trapped in it.

【答案】While struggling with the toolbox,my hand hit my fire extinguisher by accident.I grasped and used it to break the window.The fire extinguisher just bounced off the glass.The water level rose.I went through a moment of fear bordering on panic.But I knew I had to keep gojye.aig.In the following time,I swung the extinguisher underwater,went above the water to gulp air,and then dived down and took as many swings as my breath would allow,with the only hope of weakening the window through repeated impact.I didn't know how long it lasted,but suddenly the impact felt different.I extended my left hand and felt a hole in the window.I'm going to live!I used the tool to break away the rest of the glass and swam out of the truck.
I swam for shore and tried to climb up the bank of the canal.The bank was wet and slippery and I noticed multiple cuts in my fingers from ripping the door open,all of which made climbing up extremely difficult.A part of me just wanted to give up.My life flashed before my eyes.I thought of all the people I'd known,the experiences I'd had,and the experiences I would never have.It took all my remaining willpower to scream.Unbelievably,someone responded.Two birdwatchers spotted me and dragged me onto the bank of the canal with the help of a rope.Finally the sun peeked over the horizon,the fog lifted and my rescuers called in an ambulance.Though embarrassed about losing control of my vehicle,I'm pleased that I didn't panic as I went through the problem-solving process.

1.閱讀下面材料,根據其內容和所給段落開頭續寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers,three sisters,my father and mother.We had little money and few goods,but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen,I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis,who not only believed in me,but often told me "Dream is priceless".However,when I was about to get off the ground,one particular incident happened,which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5,that was a big sum.I was so excited,because this meant a chance for money in my pocket,certainly money for a new bike and new clothes,and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting,and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach,I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed,you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all,my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

2.Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours,she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat,but it was not even possible for her,since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while,watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However,with no money in hand,she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey,girl,you want to have the noodles?
"Oh,yes…,but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today," said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles,whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating,Jenny cried silently.
"What is it?" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing,actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles,while my mother,drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words,the seller smiled, "Girl,do you really think so?I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your gratitude to her?"
Jenny sat there,speechless and numb with shock?she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that?A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted,but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home,Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

3. One day,when I was a first-year student in high school,I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself,"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?He must really be a nerd(書呆子)."
I had quite a weekend planned(parties and a football game with my friends),so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking,I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him,knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying,and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up,and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him,and as he crawled around looking for his glasses,I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses,I said,"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said,"Hey,thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out,he lived near me,so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before,but we talked all the way home,and I carried his books.
