Dear Mr.Davis,
I am Lihua,a participant in you continuation writing competition.Having scored only 16 for
my continuation writing,I felt it unfair,so I am writing to you to state my reasons
For my writing,I felt it totally meets the requirement put forward in the contest.To begin
with,the structure of my composition is definitely clear and the plot develops reasonably,no
prolixity at all.Additionally,the words and sentences used are colorful,without repeatedly
using the same word again and again.I even wrote some compound sentences to update my
writing,such as attributive clause,the emphatic pattem,inverted sentence and so on.Finally,a
well-known saying is used to end my article,which I think is a perfect highlight of the passage.
In a word,with the merits mentioned above,I wonder why I got such a low score.If it is
convenient for you,please give me an explanation.
T:W
Yours sincerely,
:M

For his entire life, Sergio Peralta from the US dreamed about playing catch. When he was born, his right hand didn't fully develop, with only tiny fingers at the end of his arm. So he learned to write, eat and carry books with only one hand. Over the years, the 15-year-old lost hope that anything would change.
Peralta said on his first day of high school he honestly felt like hiding his hand in his sleeve, so nobody would ever find out. But his classmates. to his surprise, supported him in a way he never expected. The school's engineering teacher, JefT Wilkins, came and told him that his fellow students might be able to help.
"They ended up offering, 'We could build your prosthetic （假体的） hand, ' and I never expected it, " he told CBS News. "Like, never in a million years. " Three students used their access to online models of prostheses and a 3D printer to make a plan. After four weeks, their project came to fruition. They used polylactic acid （聚乳酸）, a common material in 3D printing that's also used to make electronic devices, as the hand's main fabric. They applied another plastic material commonly found in phone shells to make the fingers spread and squeeze objects. And they added a fishing line, so Peralta could fix the hand to his forearm.
Bob Cotter, the principal of Hendersonville High School, told the BBC that his students are encouraged to tun concepts "into reality", adding that Peralta's new prosthesis is "a proof to the students who care about each other".
Peralta-who grew up learning to do everything with his left hand-was even able to catch a baseball with the prosthetic hand created by his classmates. "When I caught it for the first time, everyone started freaking out. " Peralta said with a smile. "It was the first time I caught a ball with my right hand in my IS years. "
24. How did Sergio feel about his hand when he started high school
A. He felt at a loss for it. B. He felt unaffected by it
C. He was optimistic about it. D. He was open to accepting it
25. What do we know about the prosthesis made by Peralta's classmates
A. It was finished in four months. B. It could be controlled by a phone.
C. Its main material is polylactic acid. D. Its fingers were not flexible enough.
26. What does Peralta's new prosthesis show according to Bob Cotter
A. The students' critical thinking. B. The students' imagination.
C. The students' determination. D. The students' mutual support.
27. What does the underlined phrase "freaking out" in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Feeling panicked. B. Becoming overjoyed.
C. Calming down. D. Showing concern.

Middle school. For teens and their parents. the two words can arouse anxiety, fear and even horror. Kids are, all of a sudden, really growing up. Their bodies are changing: they're dropping some of their childhood interests and trying on new ones. Friendships form and are torn apart. Academic expectations grow bigger.
But some books-like the novel Curlfriends: New in Town, written and drawn by Sharee Miller-remind us of the many possibilities and excitements that present themselves within those challenging years.
The book follows 12-year-old Charlie Harper, beginning her first day of middle school. This is no small change, and in order ta cope. Charlie promises to "completely reinvent" herself. She is tired of letting other people label her and is ready to take control of her own story. What follows is a series of meetings, first with Nola. She introduces Charlie to her lunchtime crew. The girls come together around shared particulars of their lives-homework. girlhood and fashion --even if their differences in tastes and personalities create cracks of uncertainty from time to time.
Curlfriends is a delightful book packed with sunny illustrations. It also cuts into the heart of the challenging tensions that are part of this intermediate stage of life. Young teens want to be known and seen by others, but they are also coming to terms with who they are. It can be tricky, for example, to distinguish between the passions and pastimes that your parents picked for you and those you actively care to pursue. It can be difficult to figure out what you like and what you are like.
Curlfriends is also a book about finding one's passions, responsibilities and independence despite changing situations. It is as much about expressions of self-respect as it is about showing care for others. The one constant in Charlie's life is her love of drawing. and it's through art that she figures out how to mark her place in middle school. It's not all under her control, but, as with good art, sometimes mistakes along the way end up making for the most amazing details.
28. What is the central theme explored in Curlfriends: New in Town
A. The challenges of studies during the teenage years.
B. The difficulty of making new friends in middle school.
C. The transformations and opportunities in growing up.
D. The impact of parental expectations on teenagers.
29. What does Charlie plan to do in middle school
A. Listen to others more carefully. B. Follow her heart and passions.
C. Live up to her parents' expectations. D. Be more confident and outgoing.
30. What is the tone of the book Curlfriends: New in Town
A. Serious and formal. B. Light-hearted and inspiring.
C. Humorous and carefree. D. Cold and indifferent.
31. What can be the best title of the text
A. Finding Her Place B. Maintaining Friendships.
C. Changing with Times. D. Seeking the Passions.

In the summer of 2019. Tomas Quinones was undertaking a seven-day "bikepacking" tip. covering some remote desert in Southern Oregon, US. His trip had been marked with the usual minor troubles. But there had also been those moments of unexpected kindness from strangers.
On the last day of his trip, he was riding down a dusty track when he came upon a man lying unconscious on the desert floor. Quinones tried to give him some water with little success. Luckily, he called the emergency rescue team and an ambulance arrived within an hour. "I never had a doubt about what I would do, " he said. Quinones, who'd received some gestures of help over the course of his trip, paid it forward.
The odds are, if you've spent any time in the wild, you'll have experienced these gestures of kindness from strangers or given them yourself too even if they were nothing so dramatic as the aid given by Quinones.
So what is it about being outside in nature that makes people want to help others The first explanation is that in the wild, there may not be any other help. According to the "bystander effect", the more people who are in the presence of someone needing help, the less likely any of those people are to actually provide it.
But another idea is that there is something about nature itself that seems to promote "prosocial" attitudes. As a recent study suggests, exposure to nature can promote feelings of transcendence-a sense of connection to other people, to the world around us and to the universe.
When we take adventure into the wild, we are easy to get hurt. And that makes us look at the world differently. So, in the wild, where we lose our normal possessions, surroundings and identities, we seem more willing to go the extra mile for someone. It's in nature that we can learn new things about humanity.
32. What can we know about Tomas Quinones' trip in 2019
A. He passed on the kindness he'd received. B. He was saved by a fellow traveler.
C. He got tost for some time in the desert D. He came across unexpected dangers.
33. Why does the author write about Tomas Quinones' story
A. To suggest the unstoppable power of nature.
B. To highlight the risks of traveling alone.
C. To introduce a common phenomenon.
D. To question connections between people.
34. What might happen if many people were present when somebody needed help. according to the "bystander effect"
A. They might offer help immediately. B. They might be unwilling to help.
C. They might encourage others to help. D. They might blame the person in need.
35. Why are we more likely to help strangers when in the wild, according to the text
A. Exposure to nature boosts our confidence.
B. We are more clear-headed in natural environments.
C. Fear promotes our desire for connection with nature.
D. Feeling small in the wild makes us tend to act big.

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。
You never know where life will lead you. When I was a young boy. I found myself constantly overshadowed by my elder sister, Becky. It was not her intention to outshine me. nor did she make any effort to do so. However, with Becky exceling both academically and athletically, it was only natural that her accomplishments got all the attention, while my own achievements went unnoticed. Being the younger brother of someone who effortlessly excelled in all areas of life proved to be a big challenge, as I struggled to find my own identity under her brilliance.
Becky's talent in swimming was particularly noteworthy and she was recognized as the finest swimmer in our province. Yet, the swimming pool never attracted me. Even as a child, I developed a dislike for swimming after a rather unpleasant experience of water entering my nose. Swimming was not for me.
However, fate had its own way of transforming my life. One day, I fell off my skateboard and broke my leg so badly that the doctors said I could never really engage in the sport again. They said there was only one exercise that would be good for me-swimming!
Reluctantly. I decided to give swimming a try. At first. it was a struggle. I had a lot of fear and anxiety about putting my face in the water, fearing a repeal of the incident that had scarred me as a child. But little by little, with the support and guidance of my sister, I slowly overcame my fear and learned to enjoy swimming.
As I spent more time in the water, I realized that swimming wasn't just exercise; it was a way to challenge myself and push my limits. I began to set goals for myself, starting with simple tasks like swimming a certain distance without stopping, and gradually progressing to more advanced techniques. With each achievement, my confidence grew, and I found myself becoming more comfortable in the water.
Swimming also brought me closer to Becky. We spent hours together at the pool, motivating and encouraging each other. She became my trainer, helping me improve my technique and providing me with valuable advice. It was through swimming that we developed a deeper bond as siblings （兄弟姐妹）.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150左右：（2）开头已给出。
As the years went by. I started participating in local swimming competitions.
Today, as I reflect on my journey. I am grateful for the twist of fate that led me to professional swimming.
