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。
Once upon a time, there was a girl called Gaurika. She used to live in a small town with her parents. One day they decided to visit their relatives in the city. They were travelling in a taxi towards their relative’s house when they got stuck in a traffic jam on a bridge.
Suddenly, Gaurika heard crying noises. Somebody was crying. She could hear someone crying, “Ooh! Aah! Ouch!” very clearly. She asked her mom but she told Gaurika not to make up stories, and that there were no noises coming from anywhere. It was true, Gaurika loved making up stories, but she could hear these voices for real. She turned to her dad, but he was too busy looking for directions to her cousin’s house. She decided to go exploring while they were stuck on the bridge.
The noises were coming from somewhere below them, so she took a boat and went for a ride in the river. The noise then moved to above her head. She called out but got no response. She had to get to the bottom of these. She called again and this time she got an exclaimed response.
“Can you hear me ” it said.
She replied, “Yes, I can. Who are you And why are you crying ”
“I am what you all call the bridge,” said the voice.
“The bridge But they don’t talk!”
“Yes we do. But I have not heard of anyone like you hearing us ever. ”
“Anyway,” said Gaurika. “Why were you crying ”
The bridge replied, “I am too weak; I can’t take this weight anymore. It hurts, please help me. ”
Gaurika asked the bridge, “Why do you think it hurts ”
The bridge replied, “I have been helping humans cross the river for over a hundred years now. I am too old. ”
Gaurika didn’t know what to do. Nobody would believe her if she told them that she spoke to the bridge. She was not an engineer like her dad and she was just a child. Nobody listens to a child，they need a lot of convincing.

参考答案：
一、阅读七选五
1. E【解析】空前讲等孩子长大了，我们就会感到满足。空后讲当他们过了这一时期我们肯定会幸福。那么此空应该讲等他们进人青春期时我们又要为他们担心，因此我们还是焦虑的，故选E项。
2. D【解析】D项中的this指代的是上文说的我们的生活中总是充满着挑战，我们最好承认这一点，无论如何也要让自己幸福，故选D项。
3. B【解析】根据上文中艾弗烈德 德索萨（Alfred Souza)所说的话可知,我们的人生中总有一些障碍，而这些障碍就是人生，这使 “我”明白了没有通往幸福的路，幸福本身就是路，故选B项。B项中的way也和空后的Happiness is the way. 相呼应。
4. C 【解析】 根据空后的“So stop waiting until you finish school . . . ” 可知,C项（并且要记住时间不等待任何人）符合语境，且C项中的 wait也与下文中stop waiting相呼应。
5. A 【解析】分析篇章结构可知，此空是对全文的一个总结概括，全文主要讲幸福就是当下，我们无需等待，故A项（幸福是一段旅程而不是目的地）符合语境。
二、读后续写
One possible version：
Paragraph 1
She could stop the traffic but she couldn’t stand there forever! But she thought that she had to do something to protect the bridge. After returning to the car, she thought for some time and coming up with a good idea. She started singing her favourite song “London Bridge Is Falling Down”. Then she suddenly stopped and asked her father, “ How do you know if a bridge is about to fall down ” Looking at her puzzled, her father explained, “A bridge will become weak if it carried too much weight for a long time. ” “About one hundred years,” replied her dad.
Paragraph 2
Gaurika nodded，as if she understood everything. After Gaurika got home, she searched online about that bridge and found that the bridge really helped humans over the river for over 100 years then, but nobody had checked on it. She showed her exploring results to her dad，who was surprised reading the sheets of paper. As an engineer, he realised how dangerous the situation was and informed the traffic agency who took measures to stop the movement of heavy trucks on the bridge until the repairs were done.
