12．Special boxes lie at the bottom of my locked filing cabinet．Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life，from my grandparents，school friends，parents，wife and son．Since the invention of e-mail though，they've been few and far between．
Tonight is New York's Eve 2029 and there's a very special box of letters I want to look at．But first there's something I have to do - The Ritual（惯例）．
I go to my trusted computer and start．I begin to type：Dear --．I leave the name blank for now，anticipating the thrill of typing it in． "I hope you are well and I wonder how this will find you．And you still planning to move to that villa in Portugal？Did your son marry Fiona？Is your mother still alive？Questions surge into my mind．
For the next two hours I sit writing．About what I've been doing for the last year，my failing health，my increasing wealth and sometime difficult marriage．Then about my goals and ambitions．Will he be interested？Do I climb Mt．Kilimanjaro？Do I get that novel published？the one that's been rejected more times than I care to think about．
Finally，it's finished．11：30 pm．I fill in the recipient's name，print my letter，sign and address it and then seal it up with tape．I then delete the document and empty the trash folder - to avoid the possibility of temptation．That completes the ritual!
I walk over to my "special box"．It contains ten long，white，thick envelopes，all with the same handwriting．I place the one I have just written in at the back and take out the one at the front．It's dated 2019，and labelled "to be opened 31st December 2029"．
The cycle is finally complete!I open it，trembling with anticipation．I begin to read，my eyes tearing up a little as I do so．Throughout the last ten long，eventful years，of life，death，joy and heartbreak，it has been waiting patiently in this box for me，though I now have no memory of ever having written it．

38．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。
About a half-mile behind our Minnesota farm lay a pond. In summer， my brother Harry and I would run through a stand of oak trees to skip stones there. The pond wore a collar of black mud. It was not a place for swimming.
In late summer， the pond would be covered by a green and bubbly scum （起泡的浮渣）. Sometimes a strong， unpleasant smell rose from it. We stayed away.
When winter came， the pond was once again an inviting place. One day when ice covered it， Harry said to me， "Try walking across."
The ice looked solid. No water showed through it， but I hesitated. "Go ahead." Harry urged. "Try it. You're lighter than I am. If the ice holds， we can run and slide carefully on it. It'll be fun." I wanted to please Harry， and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the ice. I began to slide across the pond.
In the middle of the pond， the ice gave way with a sudden crack（裂缝）! I stretched out（伸展） my arms. The next thing I knew I was hanging on to the edge of a hole in the ice by arms outstretched on the ice. From my shoulders down I hung in icy water. I thought of the bottom of the pond. I knew it would be black and awful down there， full of mud and maybe rotting creatures.
I tried to climb out of the hole，but when I got a knee on the ice，it broke like window glass. Again and again I tried to get out. Again and again the ice broke into pieces. The hole widened. I was wearing a coat of heavy material. As it became completely wet，it dragged me down. I was tired of the struggle and rested with my arms stretched out on the ice.
I looked at Harry on shore. He seemed rooted to the spot. "I can't get out!" I screamed when I caught some breath.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
Harry turned and ran from the pond._________
Paragraph 2：
The moment I crashed through the kitchen door， sobbing， mum rushed over.____________组卷：5引用：2难度：0.5
