6、 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。
It was a cold winter Monday morning. Manu, an eight-year-old, was sleeping comfortably in his bedroom upstairs. Mondays are usually very difficult for him after a weekend break from his school.
"Manu, wake up!" shouted Manu's mother, Akhila. Manu pulled the blanket over himself and pretended to ignore his mother's repeated attempts to wake him up.
"Manu! Please wake up! It's already 7 o'clock and your school bus will be here by 8 o'clock." Manu continued sleeping. Finally, Akhila walked up to the bedroom. "Manu, wake up! It's time you at least learned to wake up on time and do your morning chores without so much effort from my side." said his mother.
Finally, Manu got out of bed and started getting ready for school lazily. The school bus was already honking (按喇叭) in front of his bouse while Manu was brushing his teeth. Akhila requested the driver to wait for a few minutes. She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get to the school bus.
"Thank God. Manu did not miss his bus today!" She sighed. Akhila is really concerned about her son. Manu will nor do anything on time, whether it is waking up in the morning or any of his daily tasks. It is getting very difficult for Akhila to get her son to be disciplined.
Manu was back from school at 4 o'clock. Akhila asked him to finish his homework first. Manu, as usual, ignored his mother and continued playing with his pet dog. Finally, with a lot of effort, the mother helped him complete his homework. Manu had his maths test the next day.
Akhila thought to herself, "I need to work out a plan to help him to be self-disciplined" Repeated advice and warnings had not changed him.
The next day, everything was usually expected and there was no effort from Akhila to wake up her son. The time was seven and Akhila had still made no effort to wake up Manu. The school bus honked and Akhila, unlike her usual self, asked the bus driver to leave.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Manu finally woke up at around 9o'clock.
Paragraph 2:
Manu quickly got ready for school without any effort from his mother.

How do you face such an important day? If you have not been able to study the complete contents till now, don't long to finish it all. In your bag, collect all your supplies such as pencils, several pens and other important writing materials. Put the bag and everything else that you might need in one place. This will help to reduce your worries in the morning.
When you arrive at the hall, surround yourself with friends who are supportive or just go through your notes quietly.

St Kilda is a tiny archipelage (群岛) of the North Atlantic Ocean. The islands are among the most spectacular, but the greatest fascination is that, for over a thousand years, people lived there and possessed a sense of community. Cut off from the mainland, the islanders had a distinct way of living their lives, mainly eating the seabirds that returned to breed on the rocks.
Isolation also had a big effect upon St Kildans' attitudes and ideas. The people saenticed themselves year in and year out, in a constant battle to secure a livelihood. In such harsh conditions, life was only possible because the whole community worked together.
In the 19th century St Kilda was subject to pressures from the outside world. Education, religion and tourism all: attempted to throw the St Kildans' way of life into doubt. In the early
20th century, the strength of the community became weakened as contact with the rest of Britain increased. When disease cut their numbers, and wind and sea made it difficult to get adequate food, the St Kildans were forced to turn to the mainland for assistance.
In 1930, the St Kildans finally agreed to abandon their homes. They settled on the Scottish mainland, not realizing it meant throwing themselves into the 20 century. As adults, they had to accept those values most Scots believe in. For instance, the islanders found difficult to base their existence upon money. 'They had never lived in a world where they bought goods and services from each other.
The islanders showed themselves indifferent to the jobs they were given on the mainland. The labours asked of them were unskilled compared with the spectacular skills they had once performed in order to kill seabirds. Moreover, killing birds had once provided the community with food to survive. On the mainland, however, the tasks they were asked to perform did not provide them immediately with what was needed to keep them fed and warm.
The history of the St Kildans after the evacuation (撤离) , of their inability and lack of resolution to fit into urban society, makes sad reading. When they were resettled on the mainland, the St Kildans were forced to live in a society whose values were unacceptable and incomprehensible to the majority of them. For many, the move was a tragedy.
(1)、According to Paragraph 3, the following factors lead to St Kildans seeking help from outside EXCEPTA、unbearable wind B、insufficient food supply C、contact with Britain D、worsening health(2)、After the St Kildans inhabited Scotland, theyA、soon learned how to buy goods and services from others B、had trouble adapting to the value of dominant society C、exhibited willingness to carry out their given jobs D、had the opportunity to shew their skills of killing seabirds(3)、Which of the following is NOT about how people used to live on St Kilda?A、The major source of food was found locally. B、It was essential for people to help each other. C、Very few people had visited mainland Scotland. D、Money played an insignificant role in life.(4)、What is the passage mainly concerned with?A、The role of money in modern communities. B、How a community adapted to a different form of life. C、The destruction of an old-fashioned community. D、How a small community fight against opposite conditions. -

Despite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.
In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500 kg and eat roughly 40 kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in check, tiger sharks in Shark Bay help the seagrass thrive(茁壮成长).A booming seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests typically do on land.
But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australia's northeast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass is eaten by herbivores(食草动物),which means less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This raised the question: What if sharks were absent from the Shark Bay—would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive?
To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. "When unchecked, sea cows can rapidly destroy wide areas of seagrass," said Nowicki.
Those findings emphasised that tiger sharks were playing an important role in preventing the reduction of seagrass in Shark Bay. If shark populations continue to decline, the resilience of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems to extreme climate events like heatwaves will likely to be affected.
When it comes to boosting shark numbers, there has been a movement towards more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators(捕食者)continues to decline.
Aside from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. "Ultimately, if we are going to protect our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change while undertaking species protection at the same time."
(1)、Why are tiger sharks vital to the marine ecosystem?A、They feed on various sea animals. B、They can store large amounts of CO2. C、They can prevent the loss of seagrass. D、They influence marine species' distribution.(2)、What does the underlined word "resilience" in Paragraph 5 mean?A、Productivity. B、Adaptability. C、Preservation. D、Construction.(3)、What is the main cause of the population reduction of many top predators?A、Climate change. B、Lack of protection. C、Unsustainable fishing. D、Loss of seagrass.(4)、What's the main idea of the text?A、The number of tiger sharks is decreasing. B、Climate change causes the loss of seagrass. C、Environmental protection is at the top of the agenda. D、Decline in shark populations affects the marine ecosystem. -

Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice (学徒) chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen —the other's only job was to beat eggs. "She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something," she says.
Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong's most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That's an impressive achievement, given how unbelievably challenging it has been for women to show in high-end Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even severer in Chinese kitchens. There's no denying the work is physically. demanding —an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms. In the past, few chefs would risk employing a female trainer into that tough environment.
Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset —the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
"Even if it's 'a kitchen almost full of men, all everyone cares about is food - the cooking. They don't care if you're a male or female. Gender shouldn't matter," Chan says.
"Yes, there is a physical barrier-but I think the mental barrier may be more of a barrier to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens," Chan adds. "It isn't just about how much you want it but how much hard work you're willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can't move them anymore, but the next day, you're stronger and may be able to work a heavier work."
(1)、What can we learn about Archan Chan'A、She got a rapid promotion. B、She does best in beating eggs. C、She is the best female chef in China. D、She made a great achievement in her career.(2)、What's a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens?A、Kitchen is a tough place for women. B、Women are afraid of physical work. C、Customers care about the gender of the chef. D、Women face both mental and physical barriers.(3)、Which of the following can best describe Archan Chan?A、Strong-willed. B、Open-minded. C、Cool-headed. D、Kind-hearted.(4)、What would be the best title for the text?A、Female chefs have risen to the top. B、Female chefs have long been a minority. C、Female chefs are proving doubters wrong. D、Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually. -
