Petra may be the treasure of an ancient world, hidden behind a tall mountain. Its beautiful scenery makes it one of the greatest ancient sites still standing today. Common sense says “perhaps there's nothing on the planet that looks like it”. Without a doubt, there's nothing in the world that resembles it. The rock carved rose red town of Petra is filled with a mysterious charm that had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”．
Petra is the legacy from the Nabataeans, a hard working group of Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Admired then because of their culture, architecture and complex dams and water channels, Petra has become a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage site and listed in the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Petra is the most well known site in Jordan located about 262 km south of Amman and 133 km north of Aqaba. The Dead Sea is 80 kilometers north of it. The steeply rising sides of a long, cool, dark and narrow gorge (峡谷) basically keep the sunlight out. Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra's most well known monuments, which glows in the bright sun. The ancient city shows the visitors its beautiful look. The town is large and the quality of the architecture is surprising. It leads someone to think about the creativity from the Nabataeans who made Petra their capital.
Petra was the top architectural site for more than 400 years until it was occupied by the Romans in 106 AD. It was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost for nearly 300 years! Petra has 800 monuments, including buildings, tombs, baths, halls, temples, and streets, which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone. Petra sights are in their finest in the early morning and the late afternoon. Once the sun warms the colorful stones, you will see the majesty of Petra.

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。
Excited screams of joy,_the sounds of two happy little girls playing in the sand, rang across the beach. But I walked along, barely aware of it. I'd come to this remote beach on my sailboat, a place to escape. My wife and I had recently separated, our marriage in trouble. I worried about my two boys, just six and eight. It seemed like forever since I'd heard them laugh. But I didn't know what to do to make things better.
“Help! Help！” The girls shouted. I'd meant to tell them to stay away from the dangerous water. Now one of them was in the ocean, beyond the surf_line. I could just hear her screams over the waves. Any second now she'd be swept away. I ran across the sand as fast as I could. The other girl was at the edge of the surf line, yelling.
“Wait! Stop! Don't go any farther！” I charged into the waves and was reaching for her when a wall of water dashed over us. For half a second I saw her disappear under another big wave. I'm a strong swimmer, but I could feel the wave pulling me hard. I swam to her and seized her, her little body shaking, trembling. But where is the other girl I saw a waving arm. A head broke the surface, not far away. The arms of the girl I'd rescued were wrapped desperately around my neck. She was breathing with sobs. “Let go of my neck. I need you on my back. Hold my shoulders so I can swim to your friend.”
She loosed her hands and I shifted her to my back. “She's my sister, Sarah,_and I am Lillian，” she said. For a moment I thought of my boys. How much they loved each other. How much I loved them.
I looked across the water and saw a small head after a big wave. I quickened my swimming, fighting for each breath. Tiny arms pressed against my shoulder. I reached out and held the second little girl. She was in total tiredness,_taking deep breaths, crying quietly.

Recently, citizens in our city have had/held a heated debate on whether we should explore the cultural relic, which was discovered in our city. Different people have different opinions.
Some people are in favor of the idea. They think the cultural relic is worth exploring, which will make people learn more about the great history of our country. What's more, this cultural relic can attract more visitors to our city, which will improve our tourism.
However, others hold an opposite opinion, thinking that we should keep it as it is and protect it properly. Only in this way can it not be destroyed by people.
As far as I am concerned, we should ask the experts for advice to find a better way to make good use of this cultural relic.

Paragraph 1：
I swam hard with the two girls and looked toward shore, but I couldn't see anyone. We were too far away from the beach. I was close to total tiredness. But there was no time to wait. I decided to swim on my stomach. I told Lillian to circle her arms around my shoulder and asked Sarah to hold her sister's arms with both hands. I swam as hard as I could. When I took one last look at the beach, in my mind I saw my wife and children. I could feel their love, and from behind me I felt an incredible force, lifting.
Paragraph 2：
“Mommy！” The loud cry wakened my consciousness. I looked up, a man was trying to drag me out of the water. A woman cried, “Thank you. You saved my daughters.” I tried to comprehend what had happened. My efforts and struggles had paid off. I thought of that giant wave,_lifting and pushing me. I was given the strength I needed. My families were waiting for me. I just needed the strength to make an effort.

第二节 故事续写（25分）
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。
Excited screams of joy,_the sounds of two happy little girls playing in the sand, rang across the beach. But I walked along, barely aware of it. I'd come to this remote beach on my sailboat, a place to escape. My wife and I had recently separated, our marriage in trouble. I worried about my two boys, just six and eight. It seemed like forever since I'd heard them laugh. But I didn't know what to do to make things better.
“Help! Help！” The girls shouted. I'd meant to tell them to stay away from the dangerous water. Now one of them was in the ocean, beyond the surf_line. I could just hear her screams over the waves. Any second now she'd be swept away. I ran across the sand as fast as I could. The other girl was at the edge of the surf line, yelling.
“Wait! Stop! Don't go any farther！” I charged into the waves and was reaching for her when a wall of water dashed over us. For half a second I saw her disappear under another big wave. I'm a strong swimmer, but I could feel the wave pulling me hard. I swam to her and seized her, her little body shaking, trembling. But where is the other girl I saw a waving arm. A head broke the surface, not far away. The arms of the girl I'd rescued were wrapped desperately around my neck. She was breathing with sobs. “Let go of my neck. I need you on my back. Hold my shoulders so I can swim to your friend.”
She loosed her hands and I shifted her to my back. “She's my sister, Sarah,_and I am Lillian，” she said. For a moment I thought of my boys. How much they loved each other. How much I loved them.
I looked across the water and saw a small head after a big wave. I quickened my swimming, fighting for each breath. Tiny arms pressed against my shoulder. I reached out and held the second little girl. She was in total tiredness,_taking deep breaths, crying quietly.

Recently, citizens in our city have had/held a heated debate on whether we should explore the cultural relic, which was discovered in our city. Different people have different opinions.
Some people are in favor of the idea. They think the cultural relic is worth exploring, which will make people learn more about the great history of our country. What's more, this cultural relic can attract more visitors to our city, which will improve our tourism.
However, others hold an opposite opinion, thinking that we should keep it as it is and protect it properly. Only in this way can it not be destroyed by people.
As far as I am concerned, we should ask the experts for advice to find a better way to make good use of this cultural relic.

Paragraph 1：
I swam hard with the two girls and looked toward shore, but I couldn't see anyone. We were too far away from the beach. I was close to total tiredness. But there was no time to wait. I decided to swim on my stomach. I told Lillian to circle her arms around my shoulder and asked Sarah to hold her sister's arms with both hands. I swam as hard as I could. When I took one last look at the beach, in my mind I saw my wife and children. I could feel their love, and from behind me I felt an incredible force, lifting.
Paragraph 2：
“Mommy！” The loud cry wakened my consciousness. I looked up, a man was trying to drag me out of the water. A woman cried, “Thank you. You saved my daughters.” I tried to comprehend what had happened. My efforts and struggles had paid off. I thought of that giant wave,_lifting and pushing me. I was given the strength I needed. My families were waiting for me. I just needed the strength to make an effort.
