【推荐1】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。

Jack’s grandmother’s birthday was around the corner and all the family members were busy preparing a big party for her. It would be a special birthday party, because Grandma Sophie would turn 100 years old on the birthday. The family was filled with atmosphere of mystery and kind of excitement. Everyone was busy doing something secretly. Jack’s sister was knitting (编织) a woolen scarf for Grandma Sophie. She even brought the threads and weaving sticks to school and knitted between the class intervals. Jack’s brother would play the guitar of Grandma Sophie’s favorite song at the birthday party, so he practiced playing whenever he was free. And Jack’s parents were decorating the house and doing shopping.

However, little Jack, the 8-year-old boy, sitting with his favorite toy dinosaur, looked unhappy. He wanted to engage in the big event and to make his grandma happy, but he had no idea. He couldn’t knit as his sister did, nor could he play any musical instrument as his brother did. A birthday card with beautiful pictures would be a good choice. But he had no money to buy a card. What he possessed were lots of cards, which were from families and relatives for his birthday or Christmas and New Year. So little Jack turned to his mother for help.

Jack’s cards came from his friends and relatives all over the country. There were funny cards and serious cards. Some cards had beautiful pictures. Others had silly drawings. Jack saved them all. But his favorite card was from his grandma.

“Why don’t you recycle some of your old birthday and Christmas cards?” Jack’s mother suggested. “What does that mean?” asked Jack. “Recycle means’ to use again’，” said Jack’s mother. “You can create something new from things that have already been used.” “Recycling is a good idea,” said Jack. “I know. I’ll cut out pictures and poems from my old cards. Then I’ll make a big, new card to send to Grandma.”

【推荐3】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。

It was my first year teaching in a special needs classroom, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our annual Special Track and Field Meeting. My students had a range of challenges, from mild learning disabilities to severe cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）.

Of the poor ones, Mark was one disabled with the latter. Confined（受困于） to a wheelchair, he had to fight his spasms（痉挛） just to control his movements. But, despite the great difficulties, he always had a positive attitude and greeted everyone each morning with a huge smile.

His classmates loved him and always took the time to make sure he was included in group activities, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who were excellent at sports. In his heart I knew Mark was dying to be just like them, unrestricted by the limitations of his body and watching the grace（优雅） with which they moved on the playing field seemed to fill him with wonder.

When track and field day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas placed well in their heats（预赛）, and gave the normally quiet crowd something to cheer about. Mark sat on the sideline, cheering them on, although he himself placed last in his own heat because his wheelchair wouldn’t go fast enough.

The final event of the day was the 400-meter race. Everyone was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the entire length of the track. We watched as the sprinters（短跑运动员） took off --- Mike, Andy and Lucas determined to prove who the best athlete was.

But when the exhausted three runners reached the finish line they paused and turned to look behind them. At the back of the crowd was Mark, determined not to be left behind. His classmates had passed him by and even the slowest walkers were outdistancing（把...远远地抛在后面） him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to cover.
