But I walked along, barely aware of it. I'd come to this remote beach on my sailboat, a place to escape. My wife and I had recently separated, our marriage in trouble. I worried about my two boys, just six and eight. It seemed like forever since I'd heard them laugh. But I didn't know what to do to make things better.“Help! Help!” The girls shouted. Td meant to tell them to stay away from the dangerous water. Now one of them was in the ocean, beyond the surf line. I could just hear her screams over the waves. Any second now she'd be swept away. I ran across the sand as fast as I could. The other girl was at the edge of the surf line, yelling.“Wait! Stop! Don't go any farther!I charged into the waves and was reaching fbr her when a wall of water dashed over us. For half a second I saw her disappear under another big wave. I'm a strong swimmer, but I could feel the wave pulling me hard. I swam to her and seized her, her little body shaking, trembling. But where is the other girl? I saw a waving arm. A head broke the surface, not far away. The arms of the girl I'd rescued were wrapped desperately around my neck. She was breathing with sobs. "Let go of my neck. I need you on my back. Hold my shoulders so I can swim to your friend.She loosed her hands and I shifted her to my back. "She's my sister, Sarah, and I am Lillian,“ she said. For a moment I thought of my boys. How much they loved each other.How much I loved them.I looked across the water and saw a small head after a big wave. I quickened my swimming, fighting for each breath. Tiny arms pressed against my shoulder. I reached out and held the second little girl. She was in total tiredness, taking deep breaths, crying quietly. 注意：1 .所续写短文的词数应为15。左右；2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；Paragraph 1:I swam hard with the two girls and looked toward shore, but I couldn't see anyone.Paragraph 2:“Mommy!” The loud cry wakened my consciousness.B.

Which website can you visit to learn about Cardiff's oldest surviving theatre?C . D. The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous. The schools were dismissed early, but much to my surprise, my appointment wasn't canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my word. Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local blood center.When I got there, I discovered I wasn't alone. Four more “hero-types“ were already lying back in donor chairs with lines attached to their veins （静脉），and machines quietly pumping away to collect their life-saving gifts.Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a difference to the life of someone I would never meet.To be honest, I'd never really thought about why I donate. I just did it. But a few months ago, during one of my regular donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby-both patients needed what I would give in order to live. Tve viewed my visits to the blood center differently ever since.My wife Karen is a donor, too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow （骨髓）to a kindergartner with leukemia （白 Ml病）.That little girl died before Karen's bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential match for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes," she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was to race against time.I wish I could say that this race was won. Unluckily, it wasn't. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions-including whether or not she'd remain on the donor list. "Of course J Karen answered.We still keep making appointments. I don't know whose life my donation may affect. Most likely it will be a stranger, but on someday the person needing blood could be you or me or maybe a loved one. It is worthwhile to take our time to donate. I like the sense of giving.4.

The rose's in her hand, the flavor in mine.Some people like to listen to the Beatles, while others prefer Gregorian chants. When it comes to music, scientists find that nurture （培养）can overpower nature.A study shows musical preferences seem to be mainly shaped by a person's cultural upbringing and experiences rather than biological factors. 6Our results show that there is a profound cultural difference in the way people respond to consonant （和谐的）and dissonant （不和谐的）sounds, and this suggests that other cultures hear the world differently,says Josh McDermott, a scientist in Cambridge.Some scientists believe that the way people respond to music has a biological basis and that this would overpower any cultural shaping of musical preferences, effectively making them a universal phenomenon. Some musicians, by contrast, think that such preferences are more a product of one's culture. If a person's upbringing shapes their preferences, then they are not a universal phenomenon.The trick to working out where musical preferences come from was to find and test people who hadn't had much contact with Western music. McDermott and his team travelled by aeroplane, car and canoe （独木舟）to reach the remote villages of the Tsimane people, who are largely isolated from Western culture.In their experiments, McDermott and his colleagues investigated responses to Western music by playing combinations of notes to three groups of people: the Tsimane and two other groups of Bolivians that had experienced increasing levels of exposure to Western music. The researchers recorded whether each group regarded the notes as pleasant or unpleasant.The Tsimane are just as good at making acoustic （声响的）distinctions as the groups with more experience of other types of music, the scientists find. Most people prefer consonant tones, but the Tsimane have no preference between them. "This pretty convincingly rules out that the preferences are things we're born with J McDermott argues."Culture plays a role. We like the music we grew up with,“ agrees Dale Purves, a scientist at Duke University. “Nature versus nurture is always a fool's errand. It's almost always a combination,“ he adds.8.

What do we know about the Tsimane in the experiment?A. They prefer consonant tones.B. They are bom with excellent music talent.C. They do well in telling acoustic distinctions.D. They have never had contact with Western music.11. What does the underlined phrase "a fdol's errand“ in the last paragraph refer to?A. Something meaningless.B. Something significant.C. Something reliable.D. Something sensitive.二、七选五Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain （保持）long-distance friendships.Set a regular dateLong-lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact （联系） and share with one another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. 12.,More isn't always merrierMake sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. 13 There arealternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.Practise empathy （共情）14 . The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned.15Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends9 birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.Don't rely on technology alone16, but long-distance friendships - even close ones - may require moreconscious effort to sustain.

It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeperD. Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to itE. Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communicationF.
