1 . 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 took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he threw the ball at a vase（花瓶）—his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued（用胶水粘）the pieces together and put the vase back to its place.

The mother noticed the cracks（裂纹）that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn't drive it away. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, Ben’s mother realized she shouldn't just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.

Before going to. bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the living room at once. As he had already lied, he was determined to deny（否认）everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.

In the living room, calmly bathed in the light, his mother's face showed no sign of anger. Instead, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.

Paragraph 1:

The mother said, "This chocolate is a reward（奖励）for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”

2 . When Tony took up running as a hobby he was 42 years old. Now 42 years later he’s a national champion and a world record holder.

He never imagined at the age of 84 this is where he’d be, but then he doesn’t meet many people in their 80s who are out training four times a week.

“I can see it’s a bit unusual, yes. But it’s been my life,” he told the reporter. The retired officer runs at a track near his home in Leeds.

At an event in Italy last month he set a world record in the 80 metres hurdles（跨栏）with a time of under 17 seconds. But he sees no reason to slow down and his ambition（雄心）is still to be competing when he passes a hundred.

“I probably won’t be doing a crouch start（蹲式起跑）, but it’s only 16 years away,” he joked. Like anyone his age, he’s had health problems. He’s had a string of severe heart attacks, but doctors have told him as long as it makes him feel good, he should carry on running.

“I can’t let my heart get in the way of my training. When I am sprinting I have to give it my absolute all. My heart is the last thing on my mind. ” he said.

He trains every other day, dances and plays hockey and he recently cuts down on alcohol （酒精）and chocolate. He said “ I’ve heard alcohol can lead to dementia and I don’t want that. I’ve cut down to one glass of wine every other day. I now have to stay as fit as I can be to keep up my lifestyle.”

Tony’s next birthday is next September. And the first thing he wants to do is become the world’s fastest 85-year-old.
