第6讲 续写热门话题 生活趣事
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。
Pumpkin (南瓜) carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage—I carried an 85-pounder back last year.
This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. I'm unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost, I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork(软木塞) forced into a bottle. I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.
My excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was heavy. “I'm going to set it down, now, ” I said, and with Jason helping to support its weight，I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no use. “I can't get it out！” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.

I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer. My head spun dizzily as if the world swirled. I felt a stab of fear. Jason suggested using a knife to cut the pumpkin open. I waved my hands wildly in protest at the plan. “Then you need to find a way of pulling yourself out, ” My dad said in a calm, cool voice. His voice settled my nerves. I was conscious that my nose was acting as an impediment to my escape. With stretching out my face and biting into the pumpkin, I managed to pull my head out. A ripple of excitement ran through us but the first thing I saw was the camera.
The video was posted the day before Halloween. My big red nose and my sore chin became netizens' favorite topic. By the end of that day, it had over 1,000 views. People asked Mom to put it on YouTube, and we even got calls from TV breakfast shows. Meanwhile, the video started racking up hundreds of thousands of views. When I went out, I was recognized by people I had never met. The pumpkin also became a minor celebrity. Passers-by and trick-or-treaters would knock and ask for selfies with it. What an unforgettable Halloween!
