Ⅰ.阅读理解

Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar (咆哮) of the ocean and see the stars at night.I used to take long walks along the water.The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly.The area was very quiet, peaceful and fairly deserted.

The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre.We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us.He was tall and wore a baseball cap.We couldn't see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly.The man's actions made my dad very anxious.Dad warned us that we'd better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible.I didn't like my dad's voice.I could hear anxiety in it.It was late and we were all alone.We didn't have any cell phones on us.I never saw Dad as anxious as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong.The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me.We had had such a good time in town.Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.

We could hear the man's footsteps getting closer.Dad's face was almost pale.The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight.My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all.Not a soul.

It's one vacation I will never forget.

Ⅱ.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。

Last year at Christmas time my wife, three children and I were on our way from Paris to Nice. Somehow everything went wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps” and our rented car broke down. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts.

It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a small restaurant poorly decorated for the holiday. Only five tables in the restaurant were taken. There were two German couples, two French families, and an American sailor, by himself. They were eating in stony silence except the sailor. He was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face. In the corner a piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.

All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door. She had a worn overcoat and her old shoes were wet. Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to another. No one bought any. Exhausted and frustrated, she sat down at a table.

The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave. Putting on his coat, he walked over to the flower woman's table.

“Merry Christmas，” he said, smiling and picking out a handful of flowers. “How much are they？”

“Two francs, sir.”

The sailor put a twenty franc-note in the woman's hand.

“I don't have change, sir，” she said. “I'll get some from the waiter.”

“No, ma'am，” said the sailor, leaning over and kissing the ancient cheek.“This is my Christmas present for you.”

Paragraph 1：

Then the sailor headed for our table with the flowers in his hand. He picked out a red flower and placed it on our table. “Merry Christmas！”he greeted us in a cheerful voice. Before we could say “Thank you”， he went to other tables. In an instant, everyone in the room was presented with flowers, including the waiter and the piano player. In the bright light, the flowers were  glowing in full bloom. These magical flowers melted our frustrated hearts and blew away all the unpleasant moods.

Paragraph 2：

The piano player came alive and pleasant music filled the whole room.  A festival atmosphere drowned all of us. We merrily danced to the joyful music, singing，laughing and wishing each other good luck. The old flower woman also joined us, unable to conceal her excitement and gratitude. The spirit of Christmas came back to us again. It brought all of us together in this small restaurant on a foreign land. All this was due to a young American sailor, who, through his kindness and generosity, brightened our paths.
