Ⅲ.读后续写
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。
I have a passion for fishing and animal protection， which can date back to my childhood. When I was young， my father was a fish and wildlife officer， so he travelled all over the province in the spring and fall. He loved his job， especially the part where he protected nature from human.
He’d taught me to fish alone， in silence， lost in my own thoughts.
I still remembered that special day. Midweek， even in late August， no one was around. Police Outpost Lake is as far as you can go and still be in Canada. Songbirds， ducks， and Canada geese glided （滑翔） by on the breeze， touching down briefly on the water’s surface before flapping and quacking their way back up into the sky， passing in front of the sun， temporarily blocking its warming rays.
“How can I get the fish with these birds making noise？” I complained， rod （鱼竿） in my hand.
“Be patient， Jacob. Birds won’t disturb you.”Dad said.
Out of the corner of my eyes， I suddenly caught a glimpse of a few great northern loons （潜鸟） stayed together not far from the shoreline. Dad once told me loons usually travel alone， but here were five of them in a group. Maybe it was a family？ One loon， making odd sounds， swam away from the group， towards me.
This is unusual.
“Dad！ Come here！ Take a look at this loon！”I shouted.
Hearing this， Dad laid his rod down on the dirty sand， walking quickly towards me.
The loon rested in the shallow water near shore， not ten feet away from us. It was so close， we could see its red eyes.
“Look at that beak （喙）！ ”I said. “It could easily hurt us to death with that thing！ It could tear our faces！ Blind our eyes！”
Walking into the water， getting closer to the loon， we both saw thin wire wrapped around its neck. Fishing line maybe？ Was there a hook on the line， too？ Was the loon asking us for help？
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Reaching down， I touched its feather， my heart racing.
“Hurry， Dad！ I can’t hold this bird forever， you know！” I said.

Reaching down， I touched its feather， my heart racing. I could see there was a shiny red hook embedded in its body， and fishing line was wrapped tightly around its neck. I splashed my way to the shore and came back with a tiny pair of scissors we used for snipping off the end of fishing line. “You have to hold it， Jacob. If it struggles， the hook would kill it.” When I bent down to pick up the loon， my hands were shaking， afraid that it might stab me with its beak. But the loon was silent and still.
“Hurry， Dad！ I can’t hold this bird forever， you know！” I said. Using the scissors， Dad cut away the fishing line from around the loon’s neck. Then， slowly but steadily， his fingers worked to loosen the hook from the bird’s flesh and finally he set the loon free. I patted the loon’s head， a gesture of gratitude that it hadn’t used its beak as a weapon. Never would I forget the scene， when that family of loons flapped and quickened their way back up into the sky.

I have a passion for fishing and animal protection， which can date
back to my childhood. When I was young， my father was a fish and
wildlife officer， so he travelled all over the province in the spring and
fall. He loved his job， especially the part where he protected nature from
human.
He’d taught me to fish alone， in silence， lost in my own
thoughts.
I still remembered that special day. Midweek， even in late
August， no one was around. Police Outpost Lake is as far as you can go
and still be in Canada. Songbirds， ducks， and Canada geese glided
（滑翔） by on the breeze， touching down briefly on the water’s
surface before flapping and quacking their way back up into the sky，
passing in front of the sun， temporarily blocking its warming rays.
“How can I get the fish with these birds making noise？” I
complained， rod （鱼竿） in my hand.
“Be patient， Jacob. Birds won’t disturb you.”Dad said.
Out of the corner of my eyes， I suddenly caught a glimpse of a few
great northern loons （潜鸟） stayed together not far from the shoreline.
Dad once told me loons usually travel alone， but here were five of them
in a group. Maybe it was a family？ One loon， making odd sounds，
swam away from the group， towards me.
This is unusual.
“Dad！ Come here！ Take a look at this loon！”I shouted.
Hearing this， Dad laid his rod down on the dirty sand， walking
quickly towards me.
The loon rested in the shallow water near shore， not ten feet away
from us. It was so close， we could see its red eyes.
“Look at that beak （喙）！ ”I said. “It could easily hurt us to
death with that thing！ It could tear our faces！ Blind our eyes！”
Walking into the water， getting closer to the loon， we both saw
thin wire wrapped around its neck. Fishing line maybe？ Was there a hook
on the line， too？ Was the loon asking us for help？
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

Reaching down， I touched its feather， my heart racing.
“Hurry， Dad！ I can’t hold this bird forever， you know！”
I said.
参考范文：
Reaching down， I touched its feather， my heart racing. I could see
there was a shiny red hook embedded in its body， and fishing line was
wrapped tightly around its neck. I splashed my way to the shore and came
back with a tiny pair of scissors we used for snipping off the end of fishing
line. “You have to hold it， Jacob. If it struggles， the hook would kill
it.” When I bent down to pick up the loon， my hands were shaking，
afraid that it might stab me with its beak. But the loon was silent and still.
“Hurry， Dad！ I can’t hold this bird forever， you know！” I
said. Using the scissors， Dad cut away the fishing line from around the
loon’s neck. Then， slowly but steadily， his fingers worked to loosen
the hook from the bird’s flesh and finally he set the loon free. I patted the
loon’s head， a gesture of gratitude that it hadn’t used its beak as a
weapon. Never would I forget the scene， when that family of loons
flapped and quickened their way back up into the sky.
