How to Protect Traditional Chinese Culture?
To encourage students to protect traditional Chinese culture, a heated discussion was held in our school lecture hall on April 10th.Different people have different opinions.
Some suggest resisting Western holidays due to their strong influence. Some argue that we are supposed to hold some creative activities to celebrate traditional culture. Still others consider all kinds of competitions should be held from time to time, which can provide more chances for the citizens to recite Chinese poems and practise calligraphy.
Personally, it is high time that we spared no effort to protect traditional Chinese culture, or we will regret one day.

Three months after retirement (退休), I was anything but excited. All those hours needed filling, but I found no one to spend my life with and no place where I was needed. Retirement felt more like an end than a new beginning. For the first time in my life, I didn't have a plan for where I was going.
“Why don't you get a dog？” a friend suggested.
“Seriously? An animal requires constant cleanups. No, thanks，” I said. I thought that was the last thing I needed, until I saw an ad in the newspaper for an Australian dog. I called the number listed to see if I could just have a look. Within seconds of laying eyes on that tiny blackandwhite fur ball, I was struck. There was no way that I was going home without her. I named her Kelly.
But when I came home, tired from the day, she ran around the house and didn't stop jumping on me. Even after a long walk, she asked for attention and would bark until I'd rub her belly or play a game with her. In desperation, I called a cousin in Alexandria, Virginia, who had dogs. “How long will it be before she grows out of this crazy puppy stage？” I asked.
“Oh, a couple of years，” she said. Really? Could I survive that long？“Get her into a good puppy kindergarten(幼儿园). A dog like Kelly requires mental prompting. Take her to a dog park and she needs socialization with other dogs，” my cousin said. I realized that dogs needed the same things that my kids at school did.
One day, I read an article in the paper about a Florida woman who had converted a school bus to pick up dogs for a doggie day care in her backyard. It hit me. A few days later, I called the woman in Florida.“Join the Association of Pet Dog Trainers，” she said.“They have all the information you need.”
I did more research, studying all I could find about the business. I opened the doors in 2007.

One possible version：
I began to get busy every day. I moved into the dog house so that I could be with the dogs which needed boarding or whose owners worked shifts. Kelly loved having fulltime playmates, though I made sure to give her lots of personal attention. Being excited, now I was sharing every minute of my day with a dozen dogs. That was the place where I was needed. Retirement felt more like a new beginning rather than an end. For the first time in my life, I had a plan for where I was going.
In order to take better care of the dogs, I often went to consult some animal experts. I learnt lots of information, ranging from dogs' daily care to ways of communicating with them. When I put those theories into practice, both my dog kids and I changed much for the better. At my partners' request, I became a teacher and opened training classes to teach dog keepers how to make friends with dogs, which was well received. I had never expected my old life would be so wonderful.

One possible version：
Save Chinese Alligators
Chinese alligators are the most endangered species of the crocodilian family.
They are in danger of extinction now. Over the past fifty years, the population of Chinese alligators has reduced 80%. One of the reasons is that their habitat has been destroyed. Another reason is that they are killed illegally for different purposes. Therefore, we should take immediate measures to protect them. Firstly, we should set up nature reserves. Secondly, the government should make laws and forbid any illegal killing. Only in this way can we have more of them in the future.
Let's take action at once to protect them.

阅读下面的材料，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。
It all started with the Food Fair, where groups of students prepared food representing different countries, in my school. I was excited to be in Group Spain. The group leader, Stan, designed a signup sheet for different tasks. There was a cooking task. I could do far better in cooking. So, I chose to cook Spanish dishes on the very day of the fair.
Yet, the first few weeks slipped away quickly, and no one seemed to be starting their jobs—probably because they were tired by their studies，or they were simply not in the mood. I was worried that we might present a bad Spain because of our slow progress. After telling other members in Group Spain about my worries and encouraging them to make preparations, we finally started the preparation work.
When we made preparations for the fair, I received a message from Stan. “How many cups of drink do you plan to prepare？” he asked. Maybe forty? I wasn't sure. I asked the group members in charge of the planning about the number of people who would be at the fair, but they said they didn't know. Out of other solutions, I answered Stan with my count and explained that I might need to confirm (确定) with the organizer of the fair to know the exact number.
Then one day later, another demand came, “By the way, can you tell me the price for the food？” Sending him the rough price of the food, I frowned. This was supposed to be the task of others. Why did I have to do it? Again, for the progress of our group, I did not think much.
Then came the third, “I mean I need specific numbers, the unit price for each, and the total cost. Make a table and list all the things, will you？” Before I could do the market research for him, the fourth appeared. I tried to hold my manner as I felt rather dissatisfied when I realized that he was assigning(分派) others' jobs to me. “That's it. Enough is enough，” I said to myself.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Having carefully chosen language, I went forward.

One possible version：
Having carefully chosen language, I went forward. I told him I had done enough to his benefit, and that I wouldn't argue for all the tasks I had already done. I stated my point clearly. I told him I was just worried about the success of the group work and therefore said a few words to encourage other group members to start working. But that didn't mean I became responsible for the entire process of the preparation.
After hearing all those words, Stan said he understood my point and admitted his mistakes. He apologized to me and offered to help me with cooking on the day of the fair. As a leader, he took on his responsibility, sending messages to every member of the group and asking them to change their attitude to the fair. Realizing their wrong attitude towards the fair, all the group members did their job to make preparations. When that day came, we presented the cooking of Spain together successfully.

Anyone going to an amusement park might have seen the likes of me. I held purses, cellphones and sunglasses while my loved ones threw themselves on roller coasters. I admired their bravery, but refused to challenge my own limitations. Looking at them, I began to remember what I did on that pleasant spring morning twelve years ago.
To celebrate my husband's sixtyfifth birthday, we'd driven an hour south to Skydive Miami in Homestead, Florida. Joe had finished hundreds of jumps when he once served in the army and he wanted a closer look at the newer wing style of a plane.
We headed for the skydiving office. My mind was racing. Joe had struggled to describe the feeling of flying but I'd never fully understand it. I told myself that I didn't want to hear about it and that I wanted to see and feel it by myself. When he came closer to the signup window for an application, I squeezed his arm.
“Why not make it two？”
“You're kidding，” he laughed. “You'd do that？”
“It's a onceinalifetime offer. I want to share this with you.”
Smiling in disbelief, he held up two fingers. We filled out paperwork. Joe paid extra for a video of my first jump. After putting on jumpsuits, we filed into the training room. Using a mockup (模型) of a plane door, we learned to roll out, maintain a stable freefall position, and lift our feet at landing. In the tiny, windowless classroom, everything seemed easy. I repeated the steps with my instructor, Pete. Joe smiled with pride at his remarkably confident wife.
When our flight was called, we boarded the small plane where we sat crosslegged in pairs on the floor, with instructors directly behind their students. Pete fixed his harness (背带) to mine as the plane roared down the runway. Through the clear, rollup door, I watched the treetops fall away. My stomach lurched (突然跳动) as two realities hit me: This was actually happening, and I'd made a terrible mistake. My mouth was dry as the Sahara. I thought I couldn't do this. I saw Joe chatting with his instructor.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Then, Joe and his instructor jumped out of the plane and my heart was in my throat.
But I told myself not to give up.
One possible version：
Then, Joe and his instructor jumped out of the plane and my heart was in my throat. I was filled with shock when my instructor Pete brought me towards the door. To balance myself, I held a metal bar overhead. Pete tried to pull my hands away, but I refused to let go of the one solid object between me and certain death. As impatient jumpers piled up behind us, I realized I had a choice. I could refuse to jump and ride back with the pilot.
But I told myself not to give up. I took a deep breath and released the bar. Pete rolled us out of the plane. Just as Joe had described, the wind was so powerful and it felt like the air was pushing us. After landing, I ran into Joe and noticed the look of admiration on his face. Both of us felt proud of my bravery. Years later, the memory still made my heart race. When faced with a challenge that scared me, I remembered that open door on the plane. “Why not take a chance？”

“How many players are required for playing the match? What does the goal keeper do...”Mack asked while watching a soccer match on television. These simple questions made his parents sense his interest in sports.
“Mom, I want a soccer uniform. I'll go out wearing it and have fun in playing soccer with my friends，”he begged his mother. He is a naughty, disobedient (不顺从的) little boy. Whatever he desires, he demands that his parents purchase it in a split second.
“OK，”said his mother.“Such uniforms are not generally available. We will get you one shortly, but you need to have patience.”
Mack kept thinking about the uniform and imagining the joy of playing with his friends. The days were passing, but there was no response from his parents. He felt disappointed. He is a very stubborn and disobedient son who never tries to know the circumstances or gives up his idea. He kept thinking how to achieve his dream of having a soccer uniform as early as possible. Then he came up with a great idea—he could paint one of his uniforms while his mother was busy working. At first, he worried that his mother might discover and scold him. But finally, he made up his mind to paint.
One day, as usual, Mack's mother got a very full schedule and it would be a few hours before she could spare time to stay with him. She asked Mack to play with his toys until then. Wanting to keep his mother away for a few hours as well, Mack obeyed pleasantly.
In his room, Mack picked up one of his uniforms and started painting. He first drew a circle with the help of a bowl and then developed it into a soccer image (图像). During the whole process, he took care to avoid the spread of color onto the other side of the uniform. After quite a long time, he finished painting a colorful soccer showing the national flag on his school uniform. It was a remarkable piece of work.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
There was no disturbance by Mack for a long time, which drew his mother's attention.
“It's OK，”said the mother.
One possible version：
There was no disturbance by Mack for a long time, which drew his mother's attention. He was much quieter than usual, and his unusual quietness made her have the sense that something went wrong. She went to Mack's room and stared in great surprise when she discovered a painting on his school uniform. Mack got nervous because of his mother's sudden arrival. Not knowing how to explain the painted uniform to her, he lowered his head and started sobbing.
“It's OK，”said the mother. She didn't scold Mack. Instead, she walked away and came back with a gift for Mack — his dream soccer uniform. He screamed out of joy.“We hoped for patience. It requires a lot of patience as well as efforts to achieve something in life，”said Mom.“Anyway, you have devoted your efforts, and if you had obeyed us, we wouldn't have found your painting talent.”“Thank you, Mom. I love you，”said Mack happily.

I am Li Hua and I'm very honoured to stand here to share my opinion. My topic is “Thank you, my parents！”
I think my parents are the first people I should thank. It's they who give me life. It's they who teach me knowledge and let me live happily. I should thank my parents for giving me so much. But now I think the best way to pay back my parents is to study well and then be a useful person to the society when I grow up.

阅读下面的材料，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。
“This year is going to be different，” Mark told himself every year. He always said that he would start exercising more and eating less. Every year he made the same resolution(决定), but every year he failed to keep it. However, this year Mark knew it was going to be different because he decided to make changes to his resolution. He learned that it should be more specific for his goal. Only in this way could he be more focused and know exactly where to begin.
Losing weight by taking exercise is very common. Without guidance, Mark was less likely to reach his goal. This year he decided to run at least one mile every day, which was easy for him. He also said that he tried to eat at least five fruits a week. It could be realized since Mark used to eat two fruits per week at most. As weeks went on, Mark found it easier to keep his resolution because he knew what he had to do. In the past, he would exercise once in a while and eat a diet only sometimes. He did not have a plan on what he was going to do at that time.
Now he did so well that he reached his goal. He felt great about the changes he was making; he felt happier and healthier gradually. He also thought about other things he could do to improve his health. This resolution encouraged him to sleep earlier and also drink more water. In the past, he usually watched TV programs for a long time at night. He knew some TV series were boring, but he just couldn't get up from the sofa because it felt so good. After that he played some video games before going to sleep. Sometimes he forgot about time and went to bed very late. No wonder he felt tired the next morning.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Mark thought a lot about his habits.
What about other changes？
One possible version：
Mark thought a lot about his habits. He realized that these bad habits always made him feel tired because he couldn't get enough sleep. So he set himself a goal that he just could watch TV or play video games for 30 minutes every day, and he should go to bed before 10 o'clock at night. “I'm happy that I decided to make changes. Developing good habits is good for my health，” he said to himself.
What about other changes? Now that Mark became healthier，he tried to make changes in other fields, especially his study. Mark got low marks in his class, but he knew he could make progress if he studied harder. He spent more time reading books and paid more attention to his schoolwork. When he had difficulty in his study, he encouraged himself to make efforts to solve it or asked others for help. Finally, he became an excellent student.
