读后续写 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。
Rebecca stretched her tired back. “That’s the last seedling(种树苗),Pa. Have we planted enough ”Pa walked to the end of the row of cottonwood seedlings. “No,” he said. “We have to plant trees all the way to that rock over there. We’ll need about twenty more seedlings.”
“I’ll get the seedlings.” offered Rebecca. She longed to cool her feet in the shallow river running through the cotton field. “You’d better let me go, Miss Petticoats,” teased her twin brother, William. “There are dangers all over this prairie(牧场/草原)“You may both go,” said Pa. “But hurry back. I’d like to finish before sundown.”
They went across the shallow river to a sandbar where small cottonwood seedlings grew. Gently, they pulled the seedlings from the sand.“There! That’s twenty, with a few to spare.” said Rebecca.“OK,” said William. He led the way to the riverbank, and then stopped.
“Look! There’s the dugout(防空壕)we lived in when we moved here last year.” He pointed to a hole in the grassy river bank.“Come on, let’s go inside.”“No,” Rebecca said, “Pa is waiting. Besides, it’s hard telling what’s in there.”“Then you start back.” said William, handing the seedlings to Rebecca. I’ll catch up.” He ran to the dugout and stepped inside.
Rebecca tied the seedlings into her long apron(围裙)and began to walk. Suddenly she froze in her tracks.
A huge prairie rattlesnake(响尾蛇)moved along the river bank. It stopped right in front of the dugout and lay still, coiled up on the warm sunny bank.“William!” Rebecca shouted. “Don’t come out!”
“Huh ” Williams face appeared at a tiny window beside the door of the dugout. Rebecca pointed toward the rattler. William's face paled when he saw the snake blocking the doorway. He turned desperate eyes toward Rebecca, and then he glanced behind himself. Rebecca knew what he was thinking: “Were there more snakes waiting in the shadowy corners of the dugout ”
Rebecca’s mind raced, trying to think of a way to get William out of there.
An idea popped into her head. It was their only hope. It was risky, but it was the only hope. “Don’t move,” she said to William in a soft voice. “When r say NOW, you run out of there as fast as you can.”Rebecca removed the skirt-like petticoat(衬裙)from beneath her dress, then dipped it into the river. She squeezed out some of the water, then climbed to the top of the bank, directly above the dugouts opening.

A young man went to visit the oldest and wisest man in the village for some advice on how he could become rich.
“Treasure is yours to be had at the top of Yonder Mountain,” advised the wise old man as he pointed to a tall mountain in the distance. “You must travel on foot to the top of the mountain. There you will find riches beyond your belief. Once you leave the top of the mountain, whatever remains will be lost forever.”
The young man could hardly wait until the morning when he was to meet with the wise old man for final instructions. When he arrived at the wise old man's home, he saw a long, thick log lying on the ground in front of the house.
“You must carry this log on your journey to the top of the mountain, and it is a necessary part of your journey. You must take it with you to the top of the mountain to claim your treasure, “explained the wise old man.
The young man was not pleased with this sudden surprise, but he respected the wise old man and as he lifted the long, heavy log onto his shoulders and struggled down the road towards the mountain, he realized that the trip would not be as easy as he thought.
After he was walking for a while, a woodsman came up to him and said, “It looks like that log is pretty heavy. Would you like me to cut some of it off to make it lighter ”
The young man was exhausted, so he said, “I suppose that a little bit cut off the end wouldn't hurt.” And the woods man cut two inches off the end.
A while later the young man met a farmer on his way back from the fields. And the farmer helped him cut two inches off the end.
At the bottom of the mountain, the young man met up with a trapper who helped him cut four more inches off the log.

读后续写模拟专练05 ---洞穴探险
读后续写 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。
With their way lighted by headlamps, they walked down a narrow passage studded with sharp rocks. The rain came down steady and hard. Jason Stories heard it but was not worried as he prepared for a day of caving with five friends in a remote spot 80 miles northwest of his home in Duncan, on Canada’s Vancouver Island.
It was 6 a.m. on December 5, 2015. As a newcomer to the sport, Jason had gone caving only four times. This would be his toughest outing yet: a cave called Cascade. It was dangerous enough that the entrance was blocked by a locked metal door to keep the casual cavers out. About a mile long and 338 feet deep, Cascade was full of tums and barely passable tight squeezes.
Jason was new among the group, with the least experience and, at 43, older by a decade or more. It was his friend Andrew Munoz, 33, who introduced him to the sport. Unlike Jason, Andrew was an expert caver-a former caving guide, actually.
They hiked a bit before coming to the door, which sat in the ground—you’d miss it if you weren’t looking for it. It was 10 a.m. With their way lighted by headlamps, they walked down a narrow passage studded with sharp rocks. The silence was broken by a drip-drip-drip from above. Soon the drip turned into a light but steady flow, and they were wading in water up to their ankles, then to their shins.
Two hours later, they approached one of the features that made the cave unique: a narrow passage not big enough to stand up in that led into a short, tight downhill. This had a name: Bastard’s Crawl. Four streams met here, and indeed, the water was flowing more quickly. The sound of the water had turned into a roar. When they finally neared the top of the Crawl, there were barely four inches of air left between the water and the ceiling. not enough for them to keep their heads up to breathe. They came to terrifying realization that they were in danger!

Paragraph 1:
The water kept rising, and there was no hope of rescue. The hours passed. Jason and Andrew didn’t dare to move for fear of slipping. They dozed off and then jerked themselves awake. Every once in a while, one of them turned on his headlamp to check the water level. An hour later, the water level went down enough that they could try an escape. Stiff from keeping in one position for 12 hours, they slowly unfolded their bodies. Jason screamed in pain, but he was determined not to let it stop him.
Paragraph 2:
Slowly but steadily, the group made their way forward. Still, each time Jason moved a leg, he cried out. Over the next 90 minutes, they made their way toward the entrance, at times in chest-high water. Now, in a passage that was high enough for them to walk upright, Jason saw something flicker in the distance. “Lights! I see lights!” Jason shouted out. For the first time since entering the cave, over 20 hours earlier, Jason’s emotions got the best of him and tears trickled down his cheeks.
