Last weekend,I was standing at the finish line of the St.Francis Franny Flyer 5K(五千米赛) route,waiting for my nine-year-old son Kade to pass by.
Kade,though a fourth-grader,was already an experienced runner.He had been a part of a cross-country club since he was six years old.He had loved to run for as long as he could remember.He had been working hard to improve his endurance and running as he was determined to be a professional runner and compete in national and international races when he was older.
There were two St.Francis Franny Flyer races happening at the same time that day.The 5K race weaved through neighborhoods,from the church to Pinecone Road and back while the 10K followed the same route but extended north on Pinecone Road.Race volunteers were available on Pinecone Road to show runners the way,and there were also signs directing the two different courses.
I signed Kade up for the 5K race as a way to train him for the Junior Olympics.He had never run a 10K,not even in training,so the 10K race was never an option.
Kade was pretty fast and he set a 5K record for his age group at last year’s race,so I was surprised to see slower runners crossing the finish line before him.“This is weird.He should be ahead of them.He might just be having a bad race,” I thought to myself.But as the minutes passed,my worry intensified.My heart raced at the thought that Kade might be lost or injured.
Anxious and worried,I drove along the 5K race route in search of Kade,but he was nowhere to be found.A surge of fear and despair overwhelmed me,causing a flood of tears to pour down my face.I turned to race officials and volunteers for help,and people started looking for him.

Later,a volunteer told me he had spotted Kade on the 10K course.
Finally,Kade appeared and crossed the finish line.
【语篇导读】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者去看儿子凯德参加跑步比赛,半路作者没有看到儿子,作者担心儿子迷路,开始焦急寻找。
【思路分析】
1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容“最后,凯德出现了,冲过了终点线”可知,第二段可描写凯德完成比赛及作者内心的感受。
2.续写线索:被告知儿子消息——焦急等待——凯德出现——完成比赛——自豪拥抱——作者感悟
【参考范文】
Later,a volunteer told me he had spotted Kade on the 10K course.Knowing that he was safe,I let out a sigh of relief.Despite hearing that Kade seemed to be running well,worry hang over me as I realized he had taken a wrong turn and was now running a longer and more challenging race than he had ever trained for.I couldn’t help but pace back and forth at the finish line,anxiously searching for any sign of my son.With every runner approaching,my heart leaped in hope,only to sink in disappointment when it wasn’t him.
Finally,Kade appeared and crossed the finish line.Relief washed over me at the sight of his face.I hugged him tightly,overwhelmed with pride for his courage,determination,and resilience.“What happened Why did you end up on the 10K course ” I asked my son eagerly.“A race volunteer directed me the wrong way.I didn’t realize the mistake until I saw the 10K turnaround sign,but I didn’t want to give up halfway,” explained Kade.At that moment,I knew without doubt that he was to become a professional runner.组合练(二) 五育之智育+人际关系

It took a day’s drive,but distance was beside the point.I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family.However,things went different that time.We were moving to a new town,not for any tourist destination,but to settle down,for my father had a new job there.My mother,sitting on the passenger seat in the front,was talking with my father.She looked excited for the coming new life.But I was down,feeling nervous about starting a new school life.Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers,which I was not good at.
On my first day at the new school,I felt lost and out of place.The students already knew each other well,and they chatted happily during breaks.I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school.Feeling lonely,I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes,reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room.I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging.
As the days went by,I still found it hard to fit in.I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates.Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly,but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an outsider.I only had words with my deskmate,Alex,when necessary.Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident,although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him.He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me.Soon I found we were avoiding each other.

②由第二段首句内容“亚历克斯自豪地介绍说,这幅奇妙的画是我画的”可知,第二段可描写作者得到了同学们的认可,作者结交了很多新朋友并适应了新环境以及感悟。
2.续写线索:原以为和亚历克斯一起工作会很困难——配合得很好,海报设计得很出色——得到老师赞扬,同学认可,结交新朋友——适应环境——感悟

Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me.I smiled shyly but happily as my classmates crowned me and gave me a thumbs-up.Slowly but surely,I started feeling more comfortable in my new school.I made new friends,including Alex,and began to participate in activities in and after class.By the end of the school year,I had fully adapted to the new environment.Moving to a new town was not only challenging,but it also opened up a world of opportunities and new experiences for me.组合练(三) 五育之劳育+意外事件

A Memorable Housework Experience
One memorable housework experience for me was that I decided to clean the entire kitchen on my own.It was a Sunday afternoon,and I saw my mother exhausted after a week of hard work.Taking the initiative,I started with the dishes and moved on to the counters,floors,and even the cabinets.The process was boring,and I encountered stubborn stains that required extra effort to remove.
As I worked,I realized how much time and effort my mother spends on maintaining the house.It gave me a deeper appreciation for her dedication and hard work.Moreover,the sense of accomplishment after seeing the clean and sparkling kitchen was indescribable.It taught me the value of hard work and the importance of contributing to the household.I’ll always cherish this experience.

Brandon,a father of two and an ordinary worker in a company,was making his way home on a typical Thursday evening.The sun had just dipped below the horizon,casting a warm glow over the sky.Brandon’s heart was filled with joy and excitement as he was eager to share the news of his recent promotion with his beloved wife and children.Little did he know that this particular Thursday would be anything but ordinary.All of a sudden,there was a faint ominous(不祥的) feeling around him,but he pushed aside any thoughts of potential danger,focusing instead on getting home.However,just as he arrived there,a thunderous noise shattered the peaceful silence of the evening.He looked up just in time to see a train running into a truck,sending debris(残骸) flying in all directions.
It was an accident that he had never witnessed before.Brandon was frozen in shock.It was a messy scene as people ran from the dangerous site,hidden behind flames and thick smoke.In an instant,everything around him seemed to be in chaos.People were screaming and cracks filled the air with the explosive force.“Get away from that train!Don’t go near it!” warned the train conductor,as he called 911 for help.Brandon was about to run away when he heard a cry for help.Brandon’s instincts kicked in.Without a second thought,he raced towards the voice,pushing through the panicked crowd.His heart pounded in the chest as he approached the crash site.As he came closer,the cries for help became clearer.They were coming from the burning truck stuck on the train tracks.He ran up to the window and saw the young driver trapped in his seatbelt and held down by the steering wheel as the fire closed in around him.

1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当Brandon看到这种情况时,他的头脑飞快地转动着”可知,第一段可描写Brandon内心在权衡到底是救人还是赶紧离开,以及他决定采取行动,开始营救这名司机,并把司机送到安全的地方。
②由第二段首句内容“列车员走到Brandon跟前,紧紧地拥抱了他”可知,第二段可描写列车员赞扬Brandon的英勇行为,以及Brandon内心觉得自己只是做了一个负责的公民应该做的事。
2.续写线索:Brandon的头脑转动——Brandon内心权衡——Brandon开始营救——列车员拥抱Brandon——列车员赞扬Brandon——Brandon的感受

Brandon’s mind was racing when he saw the situation.Thoughts of his family flashed through his mind as he realized if he did the rescue,he would put his life at risk.Brandon took a deep breath and stepped back.Suddenly a sense of guilt washed over him at the sight of the trapped man.Brandon knew he had to act.He reached through the window,ignoring the pain from the burn on the hands.He tried to untie the seatbelt and helped the panicked young man break away from the steering wheel.Thankfully,the train conductor and some crew members were now rushing over to assist.Together,they managed to pull the young man out through the broken window and to safety.What a great relief to everyone at the crash site!
The train conductor came to Brandon and hugged him tightly.The conductor put his arms around Brandon,leading him away from the chaos.“You just saved more than one life.Your action is a great example of the value of bravery.You’re a true hero.What you did brought warmth to our hearts and tears to our eyes.” All of a sudden,thunderous applause burst out from the crowds.Brandon looked at the conductor,a mixture of emotions sweeping across his face.In his eyes,he just did what a responsible citizen should do.He was not a hero,and all he could think about was getting home to his family.He had news to share,and now he had a story to tell about how an ordinary man had done something extraordinary.组合练(四) 五育之美育+社会温情

One sunny afternoon in the small town of Oakville,a young boy named Fern was playing soccer in his backyard.His little dog,Lucky,cheerfully ran around trying to catch the ball whenever Fern kicked it too far.The air was filled with laughter and barks,making it sound like a perfect day.
All of a sudden,the sky changed color,turning dark gray.Fern noticed the wind picking up,and the trees began to shake wildly.He looked towards the horizon and saw a terrifying scene—a tornado(龙卷风) coming towards the town.
Fern fought panic and grabbed Lucky quickly.He remembered what the TV weatherman had said:“If you meet a tornado,head for the storm cellar(地窖) immediately.” Lucky whined and struggled in Fern’s arms.“Steady,boy,” Fern said to Lucky.
As he reached the doorstep of the storm cellar,he thought of Mrs.Smith,the elderly neighbor next door.Mrs.Smith lived alone and moved slowly because of her leg problems.Should he check on her But what could he do It seemed unlikely that she could make it to the storm cellar quickly enough.Plus,he wasn’t even sure if she wanted him around.She often scolded(训斥) him because his dog,Lucky,would mess up her flower gardens.But if there was a tornado,she didn’t have a basement or a storm cellar.Fern knew he couldn’t just leave her there.
“Sorry,Lucky.” He set the shaking dog on the steps in the storm cellar and let the door drop shut.Lucky would be scared there by himself,but he’d be safe.

After what felt like hours,the tornado finally stopped.Fern and Mrs.Smith emerged from the shelter of his backyard,blinking in the bright sunlight that had replaced the dark,stormy sky.The town of Oakville was in shambles,with trees down and houses damaged.But Fern felt a sense of relief and accomplishment as he looked at Mrs.Smith standing beside him,safe and unharmed.He had done what he could to help his neighbor in need,and it had been worth it.He turned to Lucky,who was wagging his tail and jumping up and down,and gave him a big hug.“We did it,boy,” he said,smiling.组合练(五) 五育之体育+人与动物

Ball Game Fun:Try It!
For the upcoming school sports festival,I highly recommend including table tennis as one of the activities.It possesses numerous remarkable advantages.Not only does it significantly enhance our hand-eye coordination,reaction speed,and concentration,but it also serves as an excellent means for us to engage in physical activity and maintain good health.
It is quite workable for the school sports festival,considering that there are many ping-pong tables available on campus.Moreover,table tennis is suitable for players of all skill levels and many students show great interest in it.Hence,organizing competitions or recreational play sessions would be relatively effortless.
I firmly believe that table tennis would be an excellent option,bringing substantial benefits to the students.

阅读下面短文,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。
I first met Bo when I volunteered to be a docent(讲解员) at the zoo.It was a summer program our school participated in,where biology students earned extra credit by teaching little kids about some of the animals.I needed to increase my biology grade,so I asked my friend Sue Wang to be my partner.“Melanie,I’ll do this with you,” she said,“but I’ll do the talking.No way will I handle the animals!” That was OK with me.
During the training course,our instructor,Mr.Lindsey came to Sue and me and said,“OK,girls,your animal is a boa(蟒蛇).” I felt myself go cold.“I have to handle a boa ”
That night,I had a nightmare.I was carrying the snake around a classroom,showing the kids,when all of a sudden it started constricting(收紧).It squeezed and squeezed,and I couldn’t breathe!I woke up in a sweat,my body rigid.
Next day I told my instructor.“Sure you can do it,” he said.He slid the door of the snake carrier open.“Now put your elbow in—slowly—and wait for him to crawl on your arm.Good,that’s the way.” He wasn’t wet or slimy.He was dry and soft!But it was scary!Mr.Lindsey stood beside me.“Relax,Melanie.You need to show him you aren’t afraid.He needs to trust you,and you need to trust him.” Yeah,right.He didn’t do anything.Awesome!I named him Bo.After a few school visits,I began to really like my boa and was pretty much at ease with him.
Then came the day I will never forget.As usual,I opened the carrier and took him out.After Sue talked about how boas live mostly in rain forests in Central and South America,I walked around the classroom,saying,“Don’t be afraid.See,he is nice.You can touch him gently,here,on his back.His name is Bo.”
Most of the kids actually did touch him,and everything went fine until one boy,for some unknown reasons,tapped Bo on the head.I froze.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

My worst nightmare came true!
I closed the carrier and signaled the kids to come inside.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,以人物和蟒蛇为线索。作者为了增加学分,在一个动物园里当讲解员。一开始她很害怕蟒蛇,但在Lindsey先生的教导下,她和蟒蛇建立了信任,她还给这条蟒蛇起名叫Bo。一次在教室里给孩子们展示Bo的时候,一个男孩敲了Bo的头。
【思路分析】
1.续写线索:
①由续写第一段首句“我最可怕的噩梦成真了!”可知,第一段可以描写小男孩敲Bo的头后引发了失控场面,作者和Lindsey一起把Bo关到了运输车里。
②由续写第二段首句“我关上运输车,示意孩子们进来”可知,第二段可以描写作者通过这件事教育孩子们关于动物的知识,告诉他们要尊重动物和它们的空间,这次经历让作者非常难忘。
2.段落续写:噩梦成真——蟒蛇吓到其他孩子——作者和Lindsey一起把Bo关到了运输车里——给孩子们解释并教育孩子们——有了难忘的经历
【参考范文】
My worst nightmare came true!He suddenly rushed forward.The next moment,he crawled around the wrist of a terrified little girl.She screamed,and all the other children scattered,horrified.My heart stopped.I knew I had to act fast.Gently,but firmly,I reached out and started to unwrap the snake from the girl’s arm.“It’s OK,it’s OK,” I murmured,trying to comfort both her and Bo.Mr.Lindsey rushed over and took the other end of the snake,guiding it back into its carrier.The little girl,still shaking,was led away by her teacher.The other children stood watching,wide-eyed.
I closed the carrier and signaled the kids to come inside.I knew they were scared,but I also knew that this was a teachable moment.I gathered them around me and explained that Bo had just defended himself.I stressed the importance of respecting animals and their space. Then,slowly,one by one,the children came forward to look at the carrier.They were still cautious,but their curiosity had won over their fear.I smiled and nodded at Mr.Lindsey,who gave me a thumbs-up.That day,I not only tamed a snake,but I also taught a valuable lesson about understanding and empathy.I knew then that my experience with Bo would be one I would cherish forever.
