Ⅲ.读后续写

Lungs nearly bursting, I struggled to lift my head out of the water.Inch by inch, my tired body reached for the end of the pool.

The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational, while the competitive swimmers nearby thought nothing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test.Pushing myself to finish what I had started, I could only think: why not take the easy way out?

Earlier that week, I had turned in my first job application at a local pool.Overqualified, I was hired on the spot.However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide, those sorts of things.I was capable of more.

So a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool.Midway through, the manager administering the test remarked, “This looks really easy for you.Why aren’t you applying to become a guard？”

“The thought hadn’t crossed my mind.”

“Well, the lifeguard demands more responsibility, strength and respect.Thus the position pays $2 more per hour.Your swimming skills are strong enough.All you need to do is complete a certification class.”

Inside I was unsure of myself, but his words inspired me—You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.

Soon I passed the swim test.All left was to practice and learn first aid, CPR(心肺复苏), and procedures for different land and water-based emergencies.

Work started soon.A well-intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed.Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare.The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.

Today appeared to be another uneventful day.However, shortly after the other guards signaled to the children to exit the pool, I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the others had climbed up.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Something must have gone wrong with him，” I thought to myself.

Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck.

参考范文：

“Something must have gone wrong with him，” I thought to myself.Sure enough, with a closer look, I found the boy waving his hands desperately.I quickly dived into the water, swimming towards the boy at full speed.By the time I reached him, he had sunk to the bottom of the pool, his head hanging down, which filled my heart with fright and concern.I picked the boy up and headed to the poolside, keeping his head above the water.

Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck.I could tell that he had no heartbeat and wasn’t breathing.Every second counted! Without hesitation, I did first aid, giving him mouth-to-mouth breathing and doing CPR as trained.Other guards watching anxiously, I carried on, sweating.Suddenly, a stream of water burst out of his mouth and the boy coughed intensely.Seeing the boy regain consciousness, those around broke into cheers.Exhausted, I sighed with relief.I thought had I accepted that easy position, I would have been nothing but a bystander.I’m happy I didn’t take the easy way out.
