第二节（满分 25 分） From that day forward, Hanson’s fear of dogs totally faded.
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。
Hanson was a 6 Grade student in Pine Tree Primary School. He was known for his kindness and lively
spirit. Hanson had a heart of gold; he loved helping others, which made him a favorite among his teachers
and classmates. His academic performance was commendable, and punctuality was one of his strongest
virtues. For instance, no matter the weather — be it a scorching hot day or a chilly, rainy morning — Hanson
would always be the first to arrive at school, his backpack slung over one shoulder, a bright smile lighting up
his face.
However, despite his many admirable qualities, Hanson harbored a secret fear: dogs. Ever since he
was a little boy, the mere sight of a dog could send shivers down his spine. One particular memory stood out
vividly in his mind. It was a sunny afternoon when he was playing in the park with his friends. Suddenly, a
large, friendly-looking dog approached them, wagging its tail. While the other children laughed and played
with the dog, Hanson froze, feeling a mix of fear and embarrassment. From that day on, he avoided any
situation where he might encounter a dog, even if it meant taking a longer route home from school.
One day, Hanson woke up early as usual, ready to start another day at school. As he walked along the
busy street, his eyes were fixed on the path ahead, determined not to be late. But then, something unusual
caught his attention. A small puppy was wandering alone in the middle of the road, running nervously among
cars. The traffic was heavy, and the danger was apparent. Without a second thought, Hanson’s fear of dogs
was overshadowed by his concern for the puppy’s safety. He knew what he had to do.
Ignoring his own fear, Hanson bravely stepped into the road, calling softly to the puppy. With gentle
hands, he picked up the trembling puppy and carried it to the side of the road. He looked around, hoping to
spot the puppy’s owner, but there was no sign of anyone. Time ticked away, and Hanson realized he was
going to be late for school. However, the puppy’s well-being was more important than being punctual. After
waiting for a while with no luck, Hanson became a little anxious. He couldn’t wait there for long.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, Hanson had an idea.
