Writing 1 An A for Mrs.B I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth-grade world history class when Mrs.Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper on the culture we were studying. On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our groups. After collecting all the requests, Mrs.B informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. Only a few people behaved normally in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other. The next day, I anxiously waited for the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs.B called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached the third group, Missy's name was called. So, I was in the third group, I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake! Then I heard it. The last group: "Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina." I could feel the tears well in my eyes.

I was stunned(说不出话来). I was confused. I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn't seen. "Will you help them " she asked. I stood straighter. "Yes," I replied. I couldn't believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I had committed. 注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。 I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat. In the end, Mrs.B gave us an A on that assignment. Writing 2 Alex pedaled his bike along the country lane that led to his house. As he rounded a bend, the tips of the cattails that grew around Johnson's Pond came into view. His dad took him to go canoeing there sometimes, and Alex loved it. The pond was always so alive with activity. Frogs croaked along the shore, dragonflies hunted among the cattails, and sometimes Alex discovered turtles basking in the sun(晒太阳) on the rocks. Alex was curious about the turtles he saw. One week, when it was too rainy to go canoeing, he and his dad went to the library to check out books on turtles. Alex learned that turtles don't have warm blood like people do. That's why they have to sit in the sun to warm themselves. Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day. He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again. Just then Alex saw somet ... ...
