阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写,，使之构成一个完整的故事。

    The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realised this time it was different.

    "Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop, "someone yelled.

Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.

    Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke.  

    They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.

    Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbours—some still in their pyjamas(睡衣)—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.

    "She might have run for safety like everyone else!" Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. "I know Makcik's still inside. "She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded at the door. "Go downstairs. Go now!Go!"

    About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project. All of them felt really desperate due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting their job.

    One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him, “Sir, I've promised to take my children to the exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 p. m.” His boss replied, “OK. You're permitted to leave the office early today.”

    The scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual, he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8:30 p. m. suddenly he remembered his promise to the children. He looked for his boss but he was not there. Having told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. The children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him, “Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry?” The man replied, “If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about the children?” His wife replied, “You don't know? Your boss came here at 5:15 p. m. and has taken them to the exhibition.”

    What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working seriously at 5:00 p. m. He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work, but he's promised to take his children to the exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them there. The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it's done, loyalty is established.

    That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge. By the way, can you boldly guess who the boss was? He was none other than the mastermind behind India's successful nuclear weapons program, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former president of India.

How to Become a Lifelong Learner

    Learning doesn't stop just because school does. Making a commitment to yourself to learn something new every day, you will not only enjoy what you discover, but you will be able to apply your knowledge to future generations. Here are some steps to become a lifelong learner.

    Learn how you learn.

     Note what learning techniques are most efficient for you and use them as much as possible, such as viewing online tutorials on websites if you're more of a visual learner.

     

    Try many different things so that you don't box yourself into believing you're only good at a few things. It's probable that you're good at many things, but you won't know until you've tried.

    Look at learning as an exploration and opportunity, not a chore(琐事).

    Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary.  Follow your heart, as well as your sense of duty. Do you remember the 8th grade history that you hated so much, with all those names and dates that seemed to mean nothing? The point was to bring you to learn details now that will knit chunks of information together later.

  Read, read, read.

    Reading is a gateway into other worlds and into the minds of your fellow human beings. And reading will help you to learn the discoveries and mistakes of others who have gone before you; reading is, in effect, a shortcut so that you don't have to learn things the hard way.

A. Learn where your talents and interests lie.

B. It was a chore then, but it makes sense, now.

C. Recognise the educational value in whatever you read.

D. Determine your own preferred learning style or styles.

E. Their ways of learning might help you to improve your own.

F. Make friends with your local library and new and used booksellers.

G. Instead, learn things that you need to learn alongside things you love to learn.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Nowadays, more and more schools in China have rules making students wear school uniforms to school. A lot of Chinese students complain about (wear) their school uniforms every day. But do American students get (annoy) about their uniforms, too? American high schools usually have a dress code(衣着标准), is about requirements for students' dressing. Boys at school must wear clean jackets every day. Girls are (luck) than boys, for they have more flexible (choose) than boys. They can either dress similarly to the boys wear a dress. In general, it takes a student 10-15 minutes every morning (dress) up for class. As students do in China, plenty of American students also have their complaints about school uniforms. What if students really dislike the dress code and want to get rid of it? Instead of getting punished, (actual) there're ways to do that. At my school, "dress down" tickets (sell) on school days. If students are willing to buy a ticket, they don't need to wear school uniforms the following day. I have a strong   (believe) that one day Chinese students can buy these tickets, too.
