In ancient China chrysanthemums (or ‘mums’ for short)were first planted thousands of years ago People chose the chrysanthemum as their flower for October,a symbol of the rest and ease that followed the season’s final harvest. Then they symbolized a scholar in retirement(退隐)and were one of the four noble(高贵的)plants along with bamboo,the plum blossom(梅)and the orchid(兰).

(2020山东师范大学附中高二线上检测)阅读下面材料,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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Whenever I travel and get on the plane I usually carry two bags. A big hand bag or a tote,and a small shoulder bag. The small shoulder bag is where I put the important stuff,like my passport,so I can take it with me wherever I go. I had a 7-hour layover in Stockholm for my flight to Barcelona. It was enough time to visit the old city and come back to the airport I was on my way to purchase a train ticket when I realized my shoulder bag was missing. I had never been so scared in my life I felt stuck. Without a passport,I couldn’t go back home to the US and I couldn’t move forward to my final destination in pain either.
The only thing I could think of was to go back to the arrival gate. I went back to the sitting area and looked around but it was nowhere to be found. I saw the lady who sat beside me on the plane and asked her if she had seen it and unfortunately,she said no There was a deli(熟食店)stand right next to the safety fence in the waiting area,so I asked the deli clerk if he had seen anything and to my surprise,he said yes!He said he had given it to an airport worker though. I explained to the first airport employee what happened,and she immediately called someone for me,as if she was already aware of the situation.
After a short session of waiting I saw two men in uniform walking towards me and one of them was holding my bag. He asked me a couple of questions just to make sure I was the right person and after I answered correctly, he handed it back to me...I was so grateful! I could not stop thanking him. I realized the reason why I lost it. It was because the strap broke off and it fell on the floor. I went back to the food clerk to thank him too and to ask how he found it.
Paragraph 1:
The food clerk looked at me and told me about that. _____________________________

Paragraph 2:
After I opened the bag, I saw everything still in the bag, including the $500 in cash. ____

One possible version:
Paragraph1:
The food clerk looked at me and told me about that. He said someone picked a bag up on the floor right in front of the stand, waiting for the owner for a long time. However, no one came to get it. So she had to hand it to him. When he saw the employee coming near, he gave it to her. I could not believe the honesty I just witnessed. Fortunately, I met it in my life. How happy I felt at that time!
Paragraph 2:
After I opened the bag, I saw everything still in the bag, including the $500 in cash. I understood them returning my passport out of pity, but they did not have to return the cash. The three different people had a chance to take it, the person who found it on the floor, the food clerk, and the airport employee Among the three of them, there was no way for me to know who could have taken it. And even if one of them did, it probably would not matter that much. I would just be so grateful that my passport was returned to me.
