Ed lifted his rocket and approached the launch area． Tom watched as Ed carefully placed his rocket on the launch pad making sure everything was in place．As Ed stepped back and prepared to push the button，Tom's heart raced．He knew that the loose fin could cause the rocket to veer off course，potentially causing it to crash．He couldn't bear the thought of Ed losing because of a simple mistake that he had noticed but hadn't mentioned．In a split second decision，Tom called out to Ed，warning him about the loose fin．Ed quickly checked his rocket and fixed the fin just in time．The rocket soared into the sky，reaching an amazing height．
The figure of 1，150 feet came as a shock to Tom．He had been so sure that his rocket would be the highest，but Ed's rocket had surpassed his by fifty feet．Tom felt a mix of emotions—disappointment at not winning，but also a sense of pride for doing the right thing by helping Ed．As the crowd cheered for Ed's victory，Ed excitedly ran towards Tom and hugged him tightly，tears of gratitude streaming down．At that moment，Tom realized that winning wasn't everything．He had gained something much more valuable—the respect of his peers and the satisfaction of knowing he had helped someone else succeed．From that day on，Tom made a promise to himself to always be a good sport，whether he won or lost．

2 / 3课时提升作业(九) (UNIT 3 Section Ⅲ WRITING
WORKSHOP & READING CLUB)
(总分：60分)
Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge，mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation．
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar，either farm fields or highways，sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes．To make some of my landscape shots，I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame．I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way．
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography．I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph．I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment．
One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil's Lake，Wisconsin，to climb the purple quartz(石英) rock around the lake．After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks，we decided to photograph the scene at sunset．The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background．We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset．However，we did not mark the route(路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely．Once we found the place，it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time．Still，looking back on the photos，they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely．

WINNING
Tom Perry concentrated hard．The rocket competition would begin shortly．He had never lost a contest，but that didn't calm him．Tom glanced at the other rockets．They all had their own problems．One rocket，however，caught his eye．It's perfect in every aspect．His critical eye detected that this rocket could beat his．It belonged to a newcomer—Ed．Suddenly，Ed turned，his sight pausing on Tom's rocket．Admiring it for a while，he then gave Tom a thumbs- up with a smile．
The announcer began to explain the competition．Tom barely listened；he couldn't help but repeatedly look over to Ed's rocket．Suddenly his heart did a leap．Tom knew that Ed had no chance of winning．He had noticed that as Ed lifted his rocket to place it on the launch pad，one fin (翼) had caught against something on the ground，pulling it away from the rocket and making it loose．But Ed hadn't noticed．He glanced back at Tom and gave another thumbs-up sign．Tom felt sorry but decided he wasn't going to destroy a sure win by saying anything．Anyway，it was up to Ed to keep checking his rocket．
The contest began．Most gained respectable heights but none exceeded (超过)1，000 feet．Tom watched，but the problems the others had didn't make him feel good．For the first time the looks on their faces bothered him．
Tom thought about the loose fin of Ed's rocket，wondering if he should say something．He was lost in thought and didn't hear his name being called．When it was repeated，it shocked him．He moved to the pad．With a shaky hand，he connected the wires to the igniter (点火器)．Stepping back to the firing board，he took a deep breath and pushed the button．His rocket climbed wonderfully to a height of 1，100 feet．As he ran out into the field to pick up his rocket，he heard Ed's name being announced．
