Caught in a flood
(Part II)
After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad made a decision.They decided to stay in the house. They thought it would be really dangerous to try to walk through the water to get to higher ground.“Mary, we’ll have to go upstairs and wait there,” said Mum.“OK, Mum. If that’s what you think is best,” Mary replied uncertainly.So they went upstairs and waited. Downstairs, water flooding into the living room and kitchen. All three of them were nervous, but at least they had disaster supplies, including food and drinking water.
Finally, the rain stopped. However, Mary and her family could not leave while the house was still flooded. They listened to the radio and learnt that rescue workers were coming to rescue people who were trapped in their homes. To their relief, rescue workers and volunteers arrived at their house in a boat, helping them get out of the flooded house. Their home had been badly damaged, but they were all happy to be alive. It was joint efforts and selfless love that helped them survive in the disaster.
Caught in a flood
(Part II)
After a brief discussion, Mum and Dad decided they should stay in the house. Night had fallen. It rained harder and harder, the wind still blowing. To make matters worse, the electricity was off. Faced with the sudden darkness, Mary let out a scream, full of fear. The door started to shake and water flowed into the room. Dad took out the flashlight prepared in advance, and ordered, “Quick! Go upstairs!” By the light of the flashlight, they rushed up to the second floor. They didn’t dare to sleep all that night, comforting and encouraging each other.
Finally, the rain stopped. The morning dawned fresh and clear. They breathed a sigh of relief. However, damaged by the terrible flood, the room was in a mess. Dad turned on the radio again to listen to the latest news of the flood. Noises began outside and Mary approached the window. She saw many volunteers outside the window, who were busy helping her neighbors. Soon, several volunteers came to Mary’s house and asked if they needed assistance. Merciless as the flood was, there was still love in the world.

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。
The rain came down steady and hard. Jason Storie 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！

幻灯片26
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.
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.必修三Unit Unit 2 Nature Disasters
