1 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was about to turn thirteen, my dad decided I should experience a ritual (仪式) to test my strength and courage before I entered manhood.

So one sunny Saturday morning, my dad asked his friend Joe to arrange a fire line (防火隔离带) for the test. A fire line is a man-made break in vegetation (植被) to help slow wild land fires. It is not a marked route and can be rather easy to be lost. Unknown to me was the fact that my dad had walked the fire line and they had set up camps where they could glass the entire fire line. My dad walked with me to the fire-line entry point. He had his usual smile as he looked me in the eye and told me something that had rung in my ears many times, “I believe in you, son!”

With my jaw set, I turned towards the mountain and set off. After a while, I turned and shouted, “See you on top, pops!” I thought I saw him wiping his eyes. As I turned, I wondered why he cried. Dad had been there for everything my whole life. He would take time off from work to help in my school classes and no dad throws a better pizza party! He never missed a track meet, football game or science fair.

I took a good look at the mountain and realised I could jog to the top. The cool spring air felt fantastic against my skin. I felt so alive! I knew this was a likely place for snakes, so I carefully chose my path all the time. I finally made it to the top, only to find myself completely alone. So I started down the winding dirt road wondering, “Where are they?”

8 . 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。

Jane got an F in the science class. Shamefully, she buried her face in her hands, thinking the day was really terrible. The worst was that it was her twelfth birthday.

The day’s awfulness began when Jane decided to stay up until midnight so that she could witness the moment when she ofially turned twelve. Unfortunately, she missed it. Her day didn’t improve at breakfast. Carl, her baby brother, threw up while eating his baby food, causing her parents to spend the whole time cleaning up the mess and worrying Carl possibly being sick.

Like a good mature (成熟的) twelve-year-old, Jane kept quiet and pretended she wasn’t angry. She knew that it wasn’t Carl’s fault. After all, he was just a 10-month- old crawling (会爬的) baby who was only able to call “mama” and “papa”.

Jane seemed to be angry a lot recently. Everyone said it was hormones (激素), but she was pretty sure it was because of unfaimess. It had basically started when her parents decided to have another kid and when Jane was becoming smart and mature. Those grown-up qualities only brought her increased responsibility. Besides mountains of homework, she was dutiful for playing with and caring for little Carl sometimes. Jane loved Carl. She even bought him a toy cat. But his shining eyes didn’t give any indication of understanding her upset.

As she walked home, Jane wondered what further unpleasantness would await. Did her parents remember today was her birthday? They had given no such clue at breakfast. Did she want another one of those birthday parties that were thrown for her when she was little? She’d enjoyed them at the time, but now that would only embarrass her. And considering previous festivals, she couldn’t expect anything else from her parents.

Jane returned home and opened the front door. She saw the house lookinig deserted. Well, this suited her fine. Then, she stepped inside.
