(2024年新高考I&Ⅱ卷)续写原文
①I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
②That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn’t heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
③Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. “We made it,” he said.
④Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
⑤At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: “Out of order. Sorry.”

Let’s share our stories!
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. Though embarrassed and unwilling, I forced myself to raise up my head and looked into his eves sincerely, “I know, Gunter, we’ve just met,but I am going to be back in Vienna in 4 days time.Could it be OK with you to pay you the money in 4 days I’ll add an extra l0 euros for your delay.” It followed an uncomfortable pause as I analyzed Gunter’s face for his reaction. Then the impossible happened. He nodded his head simply.“It’s cool...I accept this solution and trust you.” I gave him the name of my hotel and and we exchange phone numbers. 1 boarded the bus and gave him a big huge wave to my newest friend.
As four days later, when I was back in Vienna, and I called Gunter as promised. He was happy to hear from me. We met at the appointed hotel. We embraced like long lost friends. Gunter told me that he wasn’t sure if I was going to show up but was excited to hear my voice when I called him. I gave Gunter the extra ?10 tip I had promised which he would not accept. He told me to call him the next time I was in Vienna and bought him a beer, which I happily agreed to. If my faith in humanity was wavering, Gunter restored it. Gunter was definitely the nicest and the best taxi driver you would meet in Vienna and maybe Austria.
A Sample Version:
What will you do if you meet someone who is in trouble
