①I live with my husband, Tyrone, in San Luis Obispo, California, about five kilometres from the beach. Every few years, the humpback whales come into the bay for a few days while they’re migrating. November 2020 was one of those times, so we took out our yellow double kayak to watch the wildlife. We paddled out the length of the pier and saw seals, dolphins and about 20 whales feeding on silver fish. We were in awe watching these graceful creatures—each one about 50 feet long—spray through their blowholes.
②At the time, my friend Liz Cottriel was staying with us. The next day, I asked her if she wanted to go out on the water to see them. With no such experience, she refused.“There’s nothing to worry about,” I assured her. “The craft is stable, and we can turn back any time.” Finally, she agreed to join me. I didn’t want her to miss this magnificent experience and regret it later.
③At 8:30 the following morning when we got out on the water, there were already about 15 other kayakers and surfers in the bay. After a half-hour, we had our first whale sighting just past the pier: two humpbacks swimming towards us. How amazing to be that close to a creature that size, I thought as the whale dipped under the waterline.
④When whales went down, they left what looks like oil on the water. I figured if we paddled towards that spot, we’d be safe from the whales, since they’d just left. We followed them at a distance—or what I thought was a distance. Suddenly, a tightly packed group of silverfish, started jumping out of the water into our kayak. Oh, no, we’re being attacked!

What should have been a joyful moment was actually terrifying. My life flashed before my eyes as the “just-left” whales swam straight to us and turned our stable craft upside down into waves just like turning a toy boat.(呼应原文细节,运用修辞描绘骇人景象,画面感强,有效推进情节) Tossing in the water, my head went ups and downs repeatedly , so did Liz’s. Overwhelmed by anxiety, I shouted to her with quivering voice, “Swim to those kayakers!” This time it was not for fun, but for survival from the huge creature!(人物描写,烘托氛围,铺垫下文)As my lips went numb in the freezing cold water, the light of hope went bleak- How regretful I was for taking Liz for the trip! Nevertheless, I still stretched my arms and legs ceaselessly after her! (心理描写，协同原文，铺垫下文)
Meanwhile, a kayaker paddled over. At the sight of him, I gathered all my strength and kept yelling for help in the hope of being saved.(承接首句,铺垫后文) Fortunately, the kayaker was so calm and skillful that he soon grasped the big picture and helped us onto his craft. Finally, we paddled towards the beach.(人物动作描写,推进情节) “Never will I go watching whales so near again!” Liz closed her eyes, puffing and panting. It’s not until then did I realize it was us who bothered the creature and nature, swallowing the bitter pill.(人物语言及心理描写,阐述主题) Looking back, those graceful whales again sprayed through their blowholes in the sun, peacefully and breathtakingly.(协同原文细节,意味深长)

范文2
What should have been a joyful moment was actually terrifying. In a split of second, our kayak was lifted out of the water about six feet by the massive jaws. Liz and I slipped out of the kayak into the whale’s mouth. My body was engulfed except for my right arm and paddle. So was Liz. As the whale’s mouth closed, Liz thrust her arm up to block it from crushing her. Feeling the creature begin to dive, I had to do everything possible to stop it.Suddenly, the paddle beside caught my eyes. Without hesitation, I seized the paddle, raised it to keep its mouth open. After a deep breath, I caught Liz by the arm and jumped out into the water.
Meanwhile, a kayaker paddled over. Upon getting close to us, he immediately stretched out his paddle, pulled us out of water and into his kayak, heading to the beach. It was until that moment that I recovered from the terror. Never was I so much more aware of the power of nature and the ocean than I was before. Liz was shaken up, likening the horrific experience to a near-death one, and she said her whale-watching days were over. But even she had to laugh when she got home that afternoon and realized she’d brought back a souvenir. When she pulled off her shirt, six silverfish flopped out.

What should have been a joyful moment was actually terrifying. With the strike of the swarm of fish, we sank in a panic and our kayak rocked violently while my heart was pounding with a beat that choked me. Worse still, Liz’s yelling haunted my ears in the next second. An enormous dark shadow was charging towards. Yes! The humpback was back! In an instant, the heavy swell of waves overturned our little yellow double craft, which consequently dumped both Liz and I into the chilly but crystal water. Legs kicking and arms crawling like crazy, I eventually bobbed to the surface and gasped a lungful of air. Shortly, I spotted Liz’s figure not far away from me. “Swim!” She yelled!
Meanwhile, a kayaker paddled over. Thank God! It was my husband, Tyrone, who had intended to join in our anticipating trip. No sooner had he approached us than he reached out the long oar to pull us onto the craft one by one. Life had flipped on us! One minute, we were struggling in the whirlpool of the behemoth. The next, we were bounding for the beach-the solid land! As I looking back to the oil-like surface in the distance, again, a humpback gracefully floated onto the surface. Breaking through its blowhole was a silver water spout, which rocketed high into the sky and splashed like fireworks. The magnificent scene seemed to be a celebrating ritual by itself, breaking through the previous gloom in my heart as well.

Pumpkin(南瓜) carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage - I carried an 85 -pounder back last year.
This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year. Old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. I'm unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost, I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it，like a cork（软木塞）forced into a bottle. I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.
My excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was heavy. "I'm going to set it down, now," I said, and with Jason helping to support its weight, I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no use."I can't get it out!" I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.
Paragraph 1: I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer.
Paragraph 2: That video was posted online the Monday before Halloween.
范文：
Paragraph 1: I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer. Despite my unwillingness to admit it, i had made the most shameful and stupid mistake ever. I had no choice but to beg Jason to help me. He tried to pull it desperately, which only turn out to be in vain. Finally, he decided to use a knife to break the pumpkin. Though he tried very cautiously and I didn't get hurt actually, I felt unbearable fear crossing my mind, beads of sweat popping out on my forehead. Much to my dismay, my dad and mum whispered, giggled, chuckled and finally burst into laughter. After what seemed like a century, Jason managed to break the pumpkin. It was not until then that i found a camera just in front of me. Worse still, my dad announced that the video would be shared online.
Paragraph 2: That video was posted the day before Halloween. Reading the comments of audience around the world,I felt extraordinarily awkward and I was eager to melt into the ground. The number of “likes” increasing rapidly, I eventually couldn’t resist the temptation to watch it myself. So funny was that video that i couldn’t help laughing. With the video gaining more and more popularity, I felt a mixture of embarrassment and satisfaction striking into my heart. Just at that moment, Jason tapped on my shoulder, and admitted that i was the winner this year, followed by the applause of my whole family. “I won’t save you another time!” he laughed. Interesting as it was, I would never try this stupid thing any more.
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，
My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn’t understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn’t really understand his world either: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass（超过）anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone（长号）.
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb’s-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn’t sure how much it would amount to.
At home, my dad said, "A job’s a big step to growing up. I’m glad you will be contributing to the household." My dad’s words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn’t interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.
Paragraph 1: When I brought my paycheck home--it was $119--my dad wanted to talk to me.
Paragraph 2: I was surprised that my dad allowed me to use the money as I wished.
范文
Paragraph 1: When I brought my paycheck home--it was $119--my dad wanted to talk to me. He told me to wait in the living room for a while. Silence reigned the room. I sat on the sofa, eyes glued to the money I earned. I kept digging in my mind for words to argue with my dad if he announced that the money wasn’t mine. Just then, the door opened and in came my dad. The moment he sat down beside me, I gripped the paycheck more firmly, ready to argue. However, he gently placed his right hand on my shoulder and said “ I know you have grown up a lot through your work...” Then there was a long pause. He withdrew his hand and slowly continued “You deserve the money and the money is yours now.”
Paragraph 2: I was surprised that my dad allowed me to use the money as I wished. In the blink of an eye, numerous fun activities I could do presented themselves to me. I sprang to my feet and kept jumping, still wild with joy and astonishment. On that day, after calculating my budget, I went to the local store and bought many things I wanted-- a new football, a base ball bat and a pair of sneakers and so on. Better yet, the idea of going back to the farmer and working more popped into my mind. At exactly that moment, I realized why my father let me have the money --it was his expectation for my future, his encouragement and quiet love. And that was something I might never surpass.
Paragraph 1: When I brought my paycheck home--it was $119--my dad wanted to talk to me.“Congratulations!”He said, a broad smile blossoming on his face. He was in such a good mood that he recalled his old days. It was then that I first learned how much he wanted to continue his education and how regretful he was for dropping out of school. Life was hard for him to earn his own living and contribute to the whole family as a young boy. Then he looked into my eyes with sincerity, full of love and passion.“Your childhood is much happier than mine, and I’m sure you will have a brighter future.”A warm glow spread inside me. Then I cautiously asked dad how to deal with the money I earned.
Paragraph 2: I was surprised that my dad allowed me to use the money as I wished. Never had I imagined such an exciting response even in my wildest dreams. So thrilled was I that I immediately came up with hundreds of things to do with my money. However, I realized that the priority should be given to buying my dear dad a present. He deserved it! For years, he worked hard to feed the whole family, attended to me whenever I was ill. It was his love that provided me with a happy childhood. I should, indeed, respect him, understand him and love him, with heart and soul. Imagine how excited and touched dad was when he received my gift. It was the most meaningful thing I had done.
Paragraph 1: When I brought my paycheck home--it was $119--my dad wanted to talk to me. Predicting he would require me to submit the money I earned form the tiring work, I felt a surge of intolerable resentment swell up inside me. “It’s not fair.” I muttered, reluctantly dragging my legs towards him. As if recognizing my unwillingness, my dad kept quiet as usual, with his eyebrow knitted. Nervous yet determined, I explained that I needed the money to pay for the equipment for my future football practice, waiting for his rejection. However, much to my astonishment, he just let out a deep sigh, nodded his head, and turned back, leaving me standing rooted to the ground.
Paragraph 2: I was surprised that my dad allowed me to use the money as I wished. But I was not relieved as expected. Rather, father’s words of growing up ringing in my ears, it dawned on me that how selfish and childish I was. My face flushed with guilt and remorse as something silently changed in my mind. It was on that moment that I realized that it was a grown-up’s duty to support his family, Thus, I made a dash toward dad, handing the money to him. Sweeping me tightly into his arms, he praised me for my sense of responsibility. From that day, I understood father more and thankfully, our mutual understanding was strengthened.
