Lunch hour.Escaping from my office，I fled down Main Street in pursuit of freedom from the routine of the day.An old bell clanged（叮当作响） against the door of a dusty used bookstore when I pushed it open.
Looking through the horizon of shelves and lots of magazines，my eyes suddenly met his and my heart began to race.They were the blazing（闪烁） orange eyes of an African lion on the cover of a National Geographic magazine.I hadn't seen those eyes in thirty years，but their impact on me hadn't faded.As a kid I used to dream about Africa，living with wild animals.
The opportunity of spending a"gap year"volunteering in Africa or joining the Youth Corps had long since passed.Or had it？Yes，it's true I couldn't go to Africa for several months，but maybe I could volunteer in Africa for a few weeks.
Over the next several weeks I began to budget and save，determined to make it happen.The big day came.I arrived and met my boss，a young South African ranger（护林员） named Gary.He said，"Let me guess，you're here because you dreamed of Africa."
"Yes!"I smiled.
"Well it's time to wake up，Canada.This is a working game reserve；these are wild animals."
"Okay."
"You're going to have to get out of your comfort zone，take some risks.Have the courage of a lion."
The next morning when we began our patrol（巡逻） in an open-air jeep，giant African elephants appeared in the morning mist.I was no longer dreaming in the pages of a National Geographic magazine，I was living them.
Moments later Gary parked the jeep and handed me a heavy shovel（铲子） and said，"Time to shovel dung（粪）."Elephant dung.Mountains of jye.ai.It will be used as fertilizer in the reserve's sustainable vegetable garden.
Within fifteen minutes my back was aching，and my new work gloves were stretched out and so slippery with dung and sweat that they refused to stay on my hands.This wasn't the dream of Africa I had.

I began to question myself.

【考点】读后续写．
【答案】 I began to question myself.You came all the way to Africa to shovel elephant dung？Maybe my dream of Africa was a silly childhood vision.Maybe I was lost and should have spent this money on therapy instead.What would my friends and co-workers say if they could see me now，knee-deep in dung，barely able to lift this heavy shovel？They'd think I was a fool.Humiliation began to creep over me，engulf me even.Throwing the shovel away，I dropped myself onto the ground.
But at that moment I remembered Gary's words"step out of your comfort zone".I needed to have the courage of a lion.Lions don't complain.They' re the king of the jungle because there's nowhere they won't go.And I'm in Africa.This elephant dung will help feed a village，and I get to contribute to something meaningful，something bigger than my mouthy little ego.Get out of your head and focus on that.I dug in deep.This was my dream，to come to Africa.As I became heavy with appreciation，the shovel lightened up.The joy of being in this place was even greater than I had imagined and dreamed.

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.
