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。
    I love digging in the back garden.Sometimes,I'd dig for pottery and stuff,but I've always wanted to find a fossil (化石).I like finding out about the past.At school,my favourite subject is history.I've been watching Andy's Prehistoric Adventures since I was three.I knew I had a good chance of finding a fossil,because my house was built on a muddy,limestone substrate (石灰岩基质),in Walsall,which means millions of years ago,my garden wasn't my garden at all—it was a coral reef (珊瑚礁).
    On 22 March,it was a sunny day.I came back from school.I asked Dad if I could dig in my favourite spot by the yellow bush near our house,where we had planted potatoes and onions,but he told me not to,because he'd just moved a tree there and it was establishing roots.I went to the back garden instead,taking Dad's old brown wooden garden tools.I dug a big hole,about a foot deep,which didn't take very long,where I found a ball of mud with something pointy sticking out the top.I ran into the kitchen screaming.I was so excited.I knew it was a fossil.
    At first,I thought it might be a deer's tooth or a goat's claw.When Dad washed the mud off,we saw that it had lots of bumpy,wavy lines;we both thought it looked like one of the sea anemones,from the fish tank in his office,but with a horn(触角).Dad sent a video to the Fossil Finds UK Facebook group.A man calling himself an archaeologist (考古学家) replied saying it had the markings of a horn coral from the Palaeozoic era,which is the very beginnings of life on Earth.I had found one of the oldest fossils in England.
    We looked in my books and online for more information.We typed our postcode into a British Geology Survey search where you can find out what you're standing on—ours is the oldest substrate in the area,with lots of clay and limestone,but it's unusual to find anything so close to the surface.Experts told us that my horn coral lived between 415 million and 480 million years ago.There weren't even proper fish or sharks then.

【答案】Before the horn coral,the only fossils I was familiar with were shark teeth that Dad got me.Since our find,Dad and I have been doing more digging in the garden.We have moved out of the flowerbeds and on to the lawn.We've found stone blocks with hundreds of tiny traces from coral.We've got 11 pieces in total,but the horn coral is our biggest.The more fossils I got,the more obsessed I became with them.
When I grow up,I want to be an archaeologist (考古学家).In this case,I will be able to study rocks and find out where they came from.I will make a display case for my finds and,one day,I hope to turn my fossils into a mini museum and make it free for people to visit.In addition,I want to spread stories of each fossil across the world.

  • 1.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
        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(书呆子)."
       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.
