joked that some day they would find a talking fish or a mermaid or a bottle with a treasure map inside.So far they had only found shells and rocks and seaweed.Today though was different.The boys felt excited.Sea crabs scampered on the rocks.Up one side and down the other.They were quick and lively.The tide didn't seem to ever wash them away.Then Jim saw a fish.It was stranded (搁浅)on the beach，just flopping around.“Can it talk ？” Andy asked.“It looks like any other fish，” Jim said.He picked it up gently and carried it to the water.“Do you think it will give us any wishes ？”Andy laughed.The boys watched as the silver fish sped off through the water.“No.Maybe next time.” Jim smiled.As the two friends walked farther down the beach they came upon a bottle.It was green with a cork (木塞)in the mouth.“Our luck will change.Does it have a map inside or a spirit？”joked Andy.Andy reached down and picked up the bottle.He rubbed it.Nothing happened.He pulled on the cork.Nothing happened.He shook it.Nothing happened.“Try the cork again.I bet the spirit is waiting for us to release him.Or we'll find a treasure map and have a real adventure，”Jim said.Andy pushed again on the cork.He dragged it back and forth.He twisted it around and around.Finally it popped out without breaking.Andy shook the bottle.Nothing came out.Looking inside he couldn't see anything.Jim looked too and shook his head.Empty.“It's just an old wine bottle，”  Jim complained.He grabbed the bottle and threw it back onto the sand.The bottle hit a rock and broke into many pieces.Both Andy and Jim gasped as they saw a long，silver key on the ground in the glass pieces.Then they looked at each other.Why didn't it make any noise when they shook the bottle？Why didn't they see it？Andy bent over to pick up the key.Suddenly the glass pieces came together to form a bottle again.The key was mysteriously back inside！And the bottle began rolling slowly toward the sea.[学生习作]Two boys ran after it.When they entered the sea，they found themselves walking on the surface of the seawater.At last，they arrived at an island and found a lot of treasure there.They were so excited that they forgot the fairy who took them here.When they calmed down，they found the fairy nowhere.They began to make a boat by themselves and finally they came back with a lot of money.名师点评：1．故事的结尾过于平铺直叙；2．故事的结尾与前面的描述出入较大，从“获救的小鱼知恩图报”这个角度去写。[升格作文]Two boys ran after it.When they entered the sea，astonishingly they didn't sink into the water but floated on the surface of it.They felt excited.They followed the  bottle and then it stopped near an island where there was lots of treasure like diamonds and stones.“You can take as much as possible，”a voice came from the coast where a talking fish was swimming.It was the stranded fish that Jim saved and put back into the water.下面是一个不完整的故事，请为它续写80词左右的结尾。About ten years ago，my  wife  and I left home  and took a trip to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.I didn't like  to carry all my  keys  in my pocket during a long walk so I took off the car key and left the rest in the car.We came back，and I put the key somewhere in the car  without tying it to the key ring.We made a fire and went to sleep in the back of the SUV.The next morning，we were cleaning up our campsite when I saw a  magpie (喜鹊)inside my car.It was the only time I had ever seen a bird of any kind inside the car.I walked over，and it flew away.When we got in the car to go home，I couldn't find  the key.We searched and searched，even emptying out the car completely，but it was gone.Then it hit me.The magpie must have taken it.After all，they were known for stealing shiny things to make their nests nice­looking.Keys were shiny.The magpie was the stealer！It made perfect sense to me.So，I set out in search of its nest.The next problem: As everyone knows，the Grand Canyon is quite large.So I didn't like my chances of actually finding a certain nest belonging to a  certain magpie in a certain tree in all that space.But what other choice did I have?My wife was not encouraging.She said，“Are you  crazy？You'll never find it！The Grand Canyon is the biggest hole on Earth ！”I didn't say a word and marched purposefully onward.I tried hard with hope as I searched dozens of trees and tracked every singing bird.Two hours later，I finally gave up  and returned to the car only to find my wife relaxing in a chair，drinking a hot cocoa and wondering why she married me.The next challenge was making out how to get a new key made.Luckily，another family came through the campsite.They said they were going to town.I asked them to send out a repair man to help us.They promised they would.Five hours later，the repair man showed up.Because of the time he spent on the way，he charged me nineteen times as much as the normal amount for making a new  key.The next day，we went back  home  and stopped at A&W for lunch.I pulled out the cup holder in my car，and the key was sitting right there.It was the only place that I didn't  search.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[参考范文]I didn't know who put it there—may be I or maybe my wife.A speechless feeling almost made me  crazy.I got out of the car，looked up at the sky，fell to my knees，and raised my hands shouting.“Whyyyyy？？？” At the same time，my wife  seemed to get much happiness from this memory，mainly from enjoying my embarrassment.In the later years，she told and retold this story to many friends.It clearly became a  certain  kind of pet phrase.When we couldn't  find  something or neither of us knew who lost it，she simply said “Go and find the  magpie.”
