After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad decided they should stay in the house. They thought it would be really dangerous to try to walk through the water to get to higher ground.
“Mary, we’ll have to go upstairs and wait there，” said Mum.
“OK, Mum. If that’s what you think is best，” Mary replied uncertainly.
So they went upstairs and waited. Downstairs, water started flooding into the living room and kitchen.

All three of them were nervous, but at least they had enough supplies, including food and drinking water.
Finally, the rain stopped, but Mary and her parents could not leave while the house was still flooded. They listened to the radio and learnt that rescue workers in boats were coming to rescue people who were trapped in their homes. They waited for a boat to arrive at their house. Their home had been badly damaged, but they were all happy to be alive.

课后拓展：文体常识
一、 写作讲解
读后续写(continuation writing)是指基于给定的前文(需从中梳理出人物、场景、情节伏笔等信息)，在理解主旨、人物性格和逻辑线索的基础上，续写内容，与前文情节连贯、主题一致。高考读后续写一般是给出350词以内的语言材料和需续写的两个段落开头语，要求续写两段共150词左右的文字。这种写作能够激发学生的想象力，培养创新思维能力。
因为故事类文本可读性强、情节发展逻辑性强，所以故事类文本就成了读后续写题型采用的主流材料。
续写内容与给定材料的逻辑衔接，是续写写作的重点和难点。
续写部分一般分为两类：半开放性质，必须依据文章的语境逻辑推理续写，如高考读后续写，给出每段段首句；完全开放性质，如本单元Integrated skills部分的练习，需依据前文思路自由发挥。
我们依据高考读后续写题型，讲几个续写的注意点：
1．两个段落开头语对续写故事的发展方向起着不同的衔接作用。
(1) 第一段的开头语起“承上启下”的作用，其续写内容也会受第二段开头语的影响和制约，即第一段续写既要承接原文，又要衔接第二段开头语。
如最初的浙江省《考试说明》样题材料提供的“As he was running, Arthur heard the young man shouting behind, ’Stop, stop！’”和“The taxi stopped in front of the police station and Arthur …”这两个段落开头语。从第二段开头语可知，无论第一段续写内容如何设定，其故事发展方向必定是 Arthur 乘坐出租车去了警察局。因此，第一段续写应围绕“Arthur didn’t stop but took a taxi to the police station”这一过程中的行为及心理展开描写。
(2) 第二段开头语一般呈现时间、地点和人物等续写内容发展的基本要素，虽对情节发展产生一定影响，但对故事最后的发展方向或结局并不起决定作用。
如《考试说明》样题材料提供的第二段开头语“The taxi stopped in front of the police station and Arthur … ”，该句仅呈现了地点(in front of the police station)和人物(Arthur)，对该段续写内容的发展没有任何线索暗示或方向提示。
2．在读后续写所提供的材料中，往往存在暗示续写情节方向的信息词，如果不仔细阅读原文，很容易被忽视。
暗示续写方向的信息词主要有以下三类：
(1) 对材料进行概括或定性的形容词或副词。
如《考试说明》样题材料的首句是“A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day.”，显然该句对全文故事具有极高的概括性，且把 Arthur当天的经历定性为funny，该形容词对续写情节的发展具有决定性影响。
(2) 助推情节发展的连词。
读后续写的思维主要有聚合和发散两种，其情节发展主要依赖连词的助推。如《考试说明》样题材料的第二段段落开头语“The taxi stopped in front of the police station and Arthur … ”中出现了and一词，则发展方向应为Arthur进入了警察局。但若句中and改为but，则续写方向应考虑Arthur没有进入警察局。
(3) 表示人物态度或决定的词。
人物的心理状态对其行为具有较大的影响，因此所提供的材料中出现的人物态度或决定应引起关注。如《考试说明》样题材料结尾出现了“He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run.”，显然frightened一词暗示Arthur当时心里极为害怕，且心中只有离开现场的念头。因此，续写第一段的方向应为“As he was running, Arthur heard the young man shouting behind, ‘Stop, stop！’ But Arthur kept running.”
3．遵循故事人物既定性格非常重要。
心理学认为，个性决定人的行为和思想，而人的行为正是其个性在特定场景中的具体体现。因此，评判续写情节与所提供材料的逻辑性，应看续写中的人物行为是否符合原文既定性格。
续写过程中，可以按“阅读材料，分析人物行为→概括人物性格→预设续写中的人物行为”的思维模式确定合理的续写情节发展方向。如通过对《考试说明》样题材料中人物Arthur的行为进行分析可知，Arthur具有“善良、乐于助人但是胆小”等特点，由此可判断，故事发展方向是Arthur虽内心忐忑，但仍走进警察局报告了发生的一切。
