Zaki was small for his twelve years，and he hated being treated as a child.Farid，his older brother，had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zaki's age.Now，every day as the sun warmed the gulf，F(xiàn)arid and the other young men went out in their wooden boats，to dive for oysters.With luck，there would be pearls in many of them.Each pearl earned a bonus for the man who found it.
Many times Zaki begged to go along，but Farid always refused.
"You？" Farid would laugh. "First，small one，you have to become larger than the oyster!" Still laughing，F(xiàn)arid would go his manly way，leaving Zaki bitter and angry.
So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practice.His grandfather，a former diver，would watch him and advise him.All morning，Zaki would practice diving beneath the waves.Every afternoon，he would again go underwater and hold his breath.With daily practice，his diving improved gradually.Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.
Zaki decided to challenge Farid the next day.
He rose early the next morning.Even so，he had to hurry to catch up with Farid，who was already on the beach.
"Farid，wait!" called Zaki. "I must speak to you."
In the stillness of the morning his voice carried clearly.The group of men around Farid grew quiet as Zaki spoke.
"Farid，I say that I can hold my breath under the water as long as you can.If I win，I ask only that you treat me as a man and let me dive by your side." The men of the village burst out laughing.
Farid looked amused. "And what happens，young brother，when you lose？"
Looked down upon，Zaki shouted， "I will not lose!Let us go into the gulf to compete.The men of the village are here to judge."
Farid looked surprised，but with all of his friends looking on，he had little choice but to agree.

1．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers，three sisters，my father and mother.We had little money and few goods，but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field.And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but often told me "Dream is priceless".However，when I was about to get off the ground，one particular incident happened，which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job.I was offered ﹩12.25 per hour.Compared with the average ﹩3.5，that was a big sum.I was so excited，because this meant a chance for money in my pocket，certainly money for a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect（前景）of the job was inviting，and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.I didn't dare to tell my coach，I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage， "If you make your bed，you have to lie in it. "I decided to talk to my coach in person.After all，my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.

2．Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat，but it was not even possible for her，since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while，watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However，with no money in hand，she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked， "Hey，girl，you want to have the noodles？
"Oh，yes…，but I don't have money on me…" she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today，" said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，whose smell was so attractive.
As she was eating，Jenny cried silently.
"What is it？" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing，actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears. "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother，drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!"
Hearing the words，the seller smiled， "Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your gratitude to her？"
Jenny sat there，speechless and numb with shock？she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted，but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

3． One day，when I was a first-year student in high school，I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Kris.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself，"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday？He must really be a nerd（書呆子）."
I had quite a weekend planned（parties and a football game with my friends），so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.As I was walking，I saw a gang of kids running toward him.They ran at him，knocking all his books out of arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.His glasses went flying，and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.He looked up，and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him.So I jogged over to him，and as he crawled around looking for his glasses，I saw tears in his eyes.As I handed him his glasses，I said，"They are bad guys!They really should be punished."He looked at me and said，"Hey，thanks!"There was a big smile on his face.It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived.As it turned out，he lived near me，so I asked him why I had never seen him before.He said he had gone to a private school before.I would have never hung out with a private school kid before，but we talked all the way home，and I carried his books.
