阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart I was sad because I couldn’t stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.

When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face. “Dad, Merry Christmas!” was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room.

Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.

Meet Ben Saunders: adventurer, athlete, motivational speaker. Ben, at the age of 23, was the youngest man to ski solo (单人滑雪) to the North Pole. He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge (雪橇) over 1,420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions. This year, as well as planning a return to the Arctic, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying all his supplies on his sledge.

Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We were attacked by a bear. We started running out of food. It was just desperate. And we didn't get to the Pole; we didn't get there, so we had no media interest. No one heard about it: no book deal, and no speaking. I was so unhappy.”

People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole. I said, “No, I can get there,” and I did. Self-belief, I see it as being a bit like a muscle — it's my belief that the more you stretch (伸展) yourself the stronger it gets. If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker. So that's one of the lessons I've figured out along the way. The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self-belief.

“My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me. If I knew it was possible, if I knew I could do it without too much bother, I wouldn't be interested.” Why? “Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it. Not that long ago, running a marathon was seen as the top point of human attempt, and now I wouldn't be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year.”

People's horizons (见识) are changing. “I'm not particularly gifted, and I'm absolutely average. I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it. That's it. And that's the thing that attracts me: with enough training and enough determination, enough focus and preparation, how far can we go? And I don't think I've found out yet.”

For over a century, the Nashua River in Massachusetts provided power for factories, which gave jobs to thousands of people. Over the years, these paper, cotton, wood, and woolen factories had poured their waste into its waters.

By the 1960s,the Nashua River was about as polluted as any river could get. Its waters became red or green or blue with dye(染料) from paper factories lying on its banks. The smokes from this dye blackened the paint on the buildings near the river.

Then along came Marion Stoddart with a simple but overwhelming(压倒性的)idea-clean up the Nashua River. This was no one-woman campaign. Stoddart encouraged the paper factories and the business community to form partnerships to reclaim the river. She carried jars of dirty river water to local officials to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem. Stoddart talked with business leaders about economic problems. She talked with environmentalists about the long-term problems of pollution.

Stoddart knew that the State Water Pollution Control Board would have the final say on forcing the clean-up. When she spoke to the board, she insisted that the Nashua River should be made safe for swimming. They thought her goals were unrealistic.

However, the partnerships Stoddart had helped form and the volunteers who were drawn to her cause never gave up. They all realized that cleaning up the river was in everyone's best interests. By 1993, several water treatment plants had been built, and a conservation area called a "green way" had been created along the banks of the river.

Today factories are still operating along the river, but there are also fish in the river. The Nashua River welcomes boaters, naturalists, and even swimmers. None of this would have been possible without a woman of vision and a community working together.

1.What does the underlined word “reclaim” refer to?

A. enlarge B. rescue C. monitor D. explore

2.What's the attitude of the board to Stoddart's goal of improving the river?

A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.

3.What kind of person is Marison Stoddart?

A. Intelligent and creative. B. Stubborn and proud.

C. Independent and broad-minded. D. Determined and far-sighted.

4.What message is conveyed through the no one-woman campaign?

A. It’ll be all right on the night. B. Many hands make light work.

C. Prevention is better than cure. D. Failure is the mother of success.

Last Friday,6-year-old Landon Johnson went to the River Town Crossings Mall in Grandville with his family. While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires.

After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii,a toy dinosaur and a remote control car, Landon hopped off Santa’s lap to rejoin his family.But a few moments later, he raced back to Santa’s side: he’d forgotten to tell him something important. Specifically,Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism(自闭症)would land him on the “naughty list”.

Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism? Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldn't. It shouldn’t bother him to be who he is,” Johnson said.

Landon told Santa that he sometimes “ gets in trouble at school and it's hard for people to understand that he has autism",but that he's “not a naughty boy”.

“You know I love you and the reindeer (驯鹿) love you and it's OK. You're a good boy",Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon.''You're a good boy,you know.”

Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa's thoughtful words.“This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I’ve been trying to get through to him for a while now that he's special and I love him just the way he was made",the mom told Today.com.“Seeing Landon's face light up in that moment was just incredible.I couldn't stop crying.

Most cars have seat belts as part of their equipment. Seat belts protect drivers and passengers in case of accidents. They also reduce the effect of a crash on the body.

1.Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people. America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat belt in 1849. The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device. 2.This early version of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object.

Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt. 3. It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer, Nils Bohlin. His three-point, lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Europe 50 years ago.

Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body needed to be held securely in place. His invention contained a cloth strap(带子) that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips(臀部).4.

Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to its cars. This company also provided use of Nils Bohlin's design to other car-makers.

5.He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995. He died in Sweden in 2002.
