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。

“OK, everybody. It's that time of year,” said my science teacher, Mr. Beal. “This Friday we'll have the annual Egg Drop Challenge. Bring your best containers to class. You can work alone or work together.”

Mr. Beal's fifth-grade Egg Drop Challenge was an institution at my school. The goal of the Challenge was simple-you had to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when dropped over the stadium wall.

My best friend, Cassie, and I grinned each other. We always worked on projects together. She's brainy; I'm creative. We're the perfect combination, like peanut butter and marshmallow cream, which happens to be my favorite kind of sandwich.

I made my favorite sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie to come over and work on the container. Spreading the fluffy marshmallow cream gave me an idea.

“I have a brilliant design for our egg container!” I said when Cassie arrived. She looked at me eagerly. “We can cushion it with some marshmallow cream. You know, to absorb the shock of the impact,” I explained. “You've got to be kidding, Laura.” Cassie exclaimed. “You have a better idea?” Cassie pointed to a sketch in her notebook. “Actually, I do. We put the egg in a basket with parachute attached. It will simply float to safety.” “It's too easy for something to go wrong. It will never work!” I said. Cassie rolled her eyes, “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”

I couldn't believe it. Of course we'd had our little fights in the past, but this was different. She'd never called any of my ideas “stupid" before. “Then I'll build mine and you build yours, and we'll just see whose is better.” “Fine!” Cassie threw her notebook into her backpack and stormed out. And just like that, our friendship was broken. Like an egg dropped from the top of a stadium without marshmallow cream to protect it.

6 . 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。

The dawn had yet not broken, but the chirping and twittering of birds was telling the early risers that it was about to. Two squirrels wrestled over a nut on the narrow lane, with overgrown grasses on both sides. These squirrels were to be the first to be photographed that day and…click! A tender-looking boy examined the taken picture closely. ’Good enough’ he thought and then shared the picture excitedly.

The boy is Vinay. He is seventeen. One morning on his usual stroll down the lane, his phone vibrated（振动）. He checked it to find some beautiful pictures of flowers and sunrise and little animals. The pictures were of course wrongly sent but it paved the way for a special friendship between Vinay and Vani. They didn’t know where the other lived. They would share with each other the photographs of the most beautiful things they came across during their morning walk. They would occasionally share each other’s photograph but made it sure that it revealed nothing about their residence. Vani was twenty-five. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to meet…it was just that they wanted to make it as special as their unique relation was…

A short sweet tune on her smartphone told Vani that Vinay had found something interesting because that early in the morning it could be no one else but him. She swiped to unlock, and then tapped on the picture Vinay had shared. She smiled broadly at sight of two squirrels wrestling. She then texted back, “Today I’ve chosen a new place to go for a walk. ” "I’ll send you pictures as soon as I find something interesting. ”

There were two message alerts on Vinay’s phone. He checked the messages. Then he typed, “I’ll wait. ”A drop of dew（露水）fell on Vinay’s head. He stepped aside and looked up. The dew drops settling on the vibrantly green leaves caught his eyes. He clicked a picture in no time and shared it with Vani. He added a caption. It read—’For You’.

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。

Vani still couldn’t find something interesting to share with Vinay.

Now Vinay would turn to his way back home like every day.
